Final

We have finished our thriller opening. In fact we'd finished it last friday but as the bell went when we finished and I had to go home, we left checking it over until today, and everything is fine. We have our mirror clone, sped up and slow motion sequences, jump cuts, and effects, and the music worked out tremendously. Tommorow we are putting it onto disk, as Miss Mapp wasn't in today, so after that we move onto evaluating.

Another idea

I thought a different approach to Ollie's plot idea would work well. Instead of using a sound effect such as a police siren, implement some non-diagetic music, I was thinking something classical, yet tension building. Either that or the killer can have visible earphones in, and therefore make the song seem diagetic, whichever will have more effect and incorporate into the rest of the video better. I thought the song, The taste of regret, by In Fear And Faith would be effective for this as the piano, drum and violin mix intro that lasts about 22 seconds would work really well. The drums slowly builds in tempo and volume, and helps to ease the audience into the flow, so that the drums rise with the tension. Also to make the music work well in contrast to the footage, the camera should be following the anonymous killer as he/she walks whilst the intro plays. considering the length of the intro this would probably have to be a part of our footage, as it would only be about 20 seconds long. I have linked the song below, listen to the first piano intro, and the music will cut out just before the guitar kicks in.

Se7en Title Sequence

Its Nikki Again
Ollie analysed Se7en earlier but i wanted to just show this clip its the title sequence for Se7en and as we have to create the title sequence an the first few minutes of a thriller i thought it was pretty vital to analyse this bit aswell.
i think this is one of the best title sequences ive seen so far all the camera angles are closeups of the books and photos and the hands we dont know who's doing this or what exactly there doing but it all looks rather sinister the music an sound that goes along with it really sets the mood it has a simple rymthm but has creepy noises over the top almost like some thing creaking or maybe a typewritter type sound its all quite erie and makes you wonder what exactly there doing.
it flicks between lots of different things in a short amount of time it starts with a book and then you see whoever it is developing photos sticking things down sewing up the edge of the pages it uses limited colours that are all quite darks like blacks and red wich make it seem quite dark i paticularly like this begining however i cant write much more now ill come back to it later
