Brainstorm;

To ensure me and my partner Hannah were clear about our ideas for our thriller we created a brain storm. This then help us to decide on a final idea for our two minute thriller opening.

Music;

For our thriller film we are going to need background music, however as we are now allowed to use signed bands due to copy right, we will have to search for a song that is from and unsigned band and ask them for permission. Me and my partner, Hannah, have signed up to the music website called moby gratis and hopefully we will be able to find a song that will suit our thriller.

Titles;

During lesson we dicussed the order in which we think that the titles should appear, this is the order we decided;

• Production Company IDENT or logo
• Directors name
• Main stars (2/3)
• Title of the film
• Other actors (3/4)
• Camera Man
• Set designer
• Music
• Costume designer
• Editor
• Producer
• Director

Vertigo

In my opinion i think that this title sequence is quite boring as there is just a lot of text. However i found the beginning very interesting with the face of the woman. What makes this effective is the music as it is quite strange and the titles were appearing in time with the music.

Panic Room

I think the titles in this opening sequence are quite dramatic as it adds to setting the scene. The titles are in a 3D bold metallic font and it fits in with the settin as there are clips of lots of high rise buildings. I think that this give it a futuristic affect.

Se7en

I like the way the font on the titles in this title sequence, i think it fits in with what is happening in the first part on the film. It shows someone peeling the skin off their fingertips and this is obviously to hide their identity from a crime they are going to commit, and the font is scratchy small handwriting that looks like it could be a criminals.

Sabotage;

During our lesson we watched a scene of sabotage called "lord mayor show" that is a perfect example of why Alfred Hitchcock is called the master of suspence.
In this scene Alfred Hitchcock uses dramatic irony very cleverly. Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something that the character doesn't and this gives the audience an erge to scream at the screen to try and inform the character. During this scene Verloc (a terrorist) give a package to little stevie who has to carry it across town. However, what stevie doent know is that the package is a bomb that will go off at 1.45. Whilst Stevie is carrying the package he is distracted many times during his journey and the creates great suspence as we want stevie to deliver the package so he isnt harmed.

Shadow of a doubt;

Shadow of a doubt is a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1943.
During our lesson we watched the opening of shadow of a doubt and we annalysed it taking into consideration all elements of mise en scene;
Hair, Make-up & Costume
Uncle Charlie is well presented in a suit with immaculate hair, this contrasts with the setting as he seems to be in a slum
Facial Expressions and body language
Uncle Charlie and Charlie are both first seen lying down on a bed, this could show their personalities are similar and that they have a very close relationship.
Colour & lighting
The film is in black and white so not alot can be said about the colour. High key lighting is used as the light looks natural.
Settings & props
The props that are used are money and cigars and this shows that charlie is upper class. However the money is on the floor and this shows that money doesnt mean much to him which could suggest that he has a lot of it.
Position Of elements in the frame
...

Mise En Scene;

Mise en scene is french for 'what is in the frame'.
There are five things to consider with mise en scene;
- hair and make up
- setting and props
- sound
-lighting and colour
-compostion of objects in the frame

Survey Results;

Soviet Montage;

During lesson we learnt about soviet montage; this is when many clips are put together to make the audience assumes something is happening when in fact it isn't. An example of soviet montage is seen in the film 'Psycho' during the shower scene, we are shown several different shots of the woman scream, the knife in the murderers hand and blood dripping into the bath, this makes the audience assume that the woman has been stabbed even though we did not actually see it happening.

Montage;

 I put some images together to create a montage that would portray our initial idea for our thriller;
