#22

This is our anamatic video. We took these photos to give us an idea of what is going to be in our opening title sequence. The idea is that there there are many different shots but they start from a extream long shot of this mysterious building and then flash to other things that may take place in this place, but gradually the shots get closer to the building ending in a close up of it.

#21 Music

In our opening, we are thinking of using the following soundtrack:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LYwjJqS8FIQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

We want to use this music piece because it is dramatic and builds suspense. We feel that we can work with this peice and place shots accordingly to build the opening of our film.

#18 Synopsis

Detective Inspector Murdoch Monroe (Scotland) and his assistant Scot Parker.

Film is set in the north of Scotland in the 50’s.

The setting takes place in a school that has been closed for 30 years due to a pupil from the school because they had hung themselves.

Two policemen went to investigate the school due to incidents of people disappearing, however the two policemen went to investigate but they never reported or were seen back at the station.

Munroe has been promoted to detective inspector he has passed all his exams with all marks and passed a psychiatric assessment.

The suspicious occurrences have drawn the attention of Scot Parker who has been transferred from London to Scotland and has been appointed the case with Munroe and to improve in his training.

Parker is oblivious to the fact that Munroe is a schizophrenic. Munroe also knows the fact that he is a schizophrenic and is aware that he is a real danger to others as well as to himself. When this change happens Munroe tries to separate them so Parker isn’t aware he is a schizophrenic.

#16 Paramount Vantage

Lionsgate was founded in 1995. Lionsgatemake many different genres of films. They branch them off into sections, they have done horror/thriller films like 'Haunting in Conneticut' and 'Saw'




Paramount Vantage make independant films.

Paramount Vantage produce a wide range of films but have produced thriller films in the past, for example, 'No Country for Old Men', and 'Case 39'

#15 Categorising Audiences

We think our film will be aimed at the category '15+' because it is a ghost thriller. We do not think it would be acceptable to allow a young audience to view it. This graph shows us that 41% of the audience are age 15-24. This is the age that we will be targeting for our film. Most of our audience will be of the working class (ABC1), as there is 67% of the upper class compared to the 33% lower class (C2DE). We are targeting males, but from this graph, it shows that from this type of film, more females attend. This ratio is 45:55.    

#14 Perfect Audience

 

In Picture 1 this our typical audience member.
In picture 2 we are shown the kinds of stuff that our audience would eat seeing as our target age is a young audience.
In picture 3 this is the kind of music our audience would listen to again young audience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#13 Audience Research

James Bond – Skyfall - People like the opening sequence of this film because in the first scene, we see James Bond fall into water, and this automatically makes the audience ponder on what happens to him. We then see him being dragged under by a hand, and that makes us wonder what this represents and if the hand is supposed to represent him accepting death. He then sinks through a sand hole, which may have something to do with the title ‘Skyfall’. A target then appears of James Bond and blood seeps out. The audience like this because it represents action and it keeps the viewers interested. We then come across a graveyard, which symbolises death, and keeps the viewer interested because they want to know who from the previous Bond films is dead or going to die. Something that puts people off this particular title sequence is the length of it, and how it has many irrelevant images that do not relate to the rest of the film. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - This film’s opening title sequence was recommended because it is a very bizarre clip. The opening title sequence is based around the movement of ink. The whole clip is black with bright reflecting of the ink or the humans. The title sequence is filmed with lots of short clips and many close ups, it is also in slow motion. Throughout the first half of the clip, the ink is flowing into the humans. Half way through the clip a match gets lit, this match is the first colour apart from black that is shown and it burns the human. Once the silhouette is burnt, it then starts to move around and emerge from what is seemed to be like a river of ink. This is to represent that the ink has changed the people. There are then a lot of clips of the people getting punched and the face shatters from the punch, this shows that there is potentially action in the film to come. This is a strange opening sequence as it doesn’t tell the audience quite what is going on but as there are many different quick clips then it draws the audience in. The change in colour, going from black to red with the fire in the middle also is a massive change and draws you in. Many different things take place in the opening sequence and it kind of tells a small story but that is not really related to the film but the message of the story tells you that the ink from the tattoo changes people.

Raiders of the lost ark - The films opening scene beggins with a the paramount logo wich then faids and a real mountain is shown in the background wich is very clever camera work, then you see the protagonist dressed for the tropics with a whip around his belt and his iconic hat and him standing in a dramatic pose being followed by his assissants acompanying him, it tells you straight away the names of the actors as the charecters venture throught the jungle on their adventure, a man removes some of the vines of a statue and then freaks out and runs away in horror this entises the audience to find out why he is so scared Indiana Jones is then told of the meaning of the idol they also find a poison dart wich shows that there could potentially be a native tribe nearby, a man who was accompanying him tries to kill him with a gun but Indiana uses his whip and takes the gun from him and he runs away.

#12 Mood Board

We chose the knife to show possible danger that could possibly occur within this scene, the graveyard was chosen to show a really eerie creppy kind of atmosphere where the setting will take place.

#11 9 key shots fromk the film the dead zone 1983

In the dead zone opening we chose every second shot in the opening sequence of the dead zone. As each slide plays after one another theses shapes form to say at the end 'The Dead Zone' the title of the film.
The music that plays throughout the opening sequence is very mysterious as it builds allot of tension in an eerie kind of way.
The first image shows a house in which I think shows some sort of importance to the story seeing as I have never seen the film before.
The second shot is showing a field and the beginning of the words the dead zone I think the field shows solitude, peace and quiet with a nice calm still nature about the scene.
The third is long shot showing a road that seems to go on forever.
The fourth is an establishing shot the shadows show dark plots and thoughts that foreshadow events.
The fifth shows a bend in the road with little light to dark forces which are similar to shot four.
The sixth shot shows a similar scene to the third one with an almost never ending road that could lead into madness.
The seventh shows very clearly the title of the film and the the director of photography Mark Irwin.
The eighth is the title 'The Dead Zone'.
The ninth could show the story could end and begin in the same place.

Task #10
The opening titles show a fuse being lit with the iconic mission impossible music followed by the names of the cast in a fast sweep across the camera the short space of time this intro has is about 48 seconds it doesn't show much but it does show some future scenes of the film so you know what to expect. The fast pace music and quick cuts tell you that you don't have much time left which adds a tremendous amount of tension to the film and to the characters, the lit fuse could potentially foreshadow one very big event or plot to the film later on in the story the faces that fly by show that the film could be about spies or a police film with a database of names and faces. Tom Cruise's name appears first due to the fact that he is the protagonist of the film so it very fitting.
