Examples of fonts

I have started to do some research of different fonts that could be used for the credits on the opening sequence of our film. All the fonts connect to the theme of Thriller which was our aim. Most of the fonts show the theme by using blood splatter or sharp edges on  the letters.

Production Company logo

 

This is our final design for our Production Company logo. The image is from a setting in Abergwyngregyn taken by one of our group members. The name 'Gilubech' came from the first two letters of each group members first name. (Giacomo, Luke, Becca and Charlotte). We chose a font that went well with the theme of the opening, e.g thriller, hense the blood splatter over the word 'production'.

 

This is the image that group memeber Luke James took on his trip to Abergwyngregyn. We all finally decided that it would be the background image for our production company logo after we have editied it.

1st box: In our final openign sequence, we have decided not to show a plain wall at the beginning with a picture frame, we decided to show someone looking at a house from a distant. This will show up in jumpy flickers to go with the theme. Before this our production company and name will be shown. The screechy sound of a quitar in the background will be played throughout the opening sequence.
2nd box: The scene then jumps to an empty bedroom with a bed that the psychopath is lying on, flickery images of a lamp is shown up on the screen. In the final opening sequence, we are not going to have the voices in the background, all you can hear is the screech of a guitar. More opening credits appear on the screen.
3rd box: *flashback* Shows a girl walking through the woods with a map, looking confussed on where she is going. The camera shot is above her to look like the psychopath is looking at her from a high tree. The screech on the guitar is starting to get louder. More opening credits appear.
4th box: We decided that we are going to change this scene for the final openign sequence. We are going to have the camera from the girls point of view looking around the forest, as the camera is moving around, it quickly moves to a certain point. We decided to do this to show that teh girl is suspecious of someone being there so she has to look twice. More opening credits are shown.

1st box: This shows the door of the room that the psychopath is in with a beam of light. This is to give tension, as it gives the feeling of someone looking over at you. We decided in the final opening sequence that we wouldn't have any speech at that point, we would just have the music throughout, so it would always bring tension.
2nd box: *flashback* One girl is running through the wood as she is running away from the psychopath. The camera is shown from the psychopath's point of view. Font's flicker in the corner of the screen to shows the directors name.
3rd box: *flashback* This scene is still from the psychopath's perspective as he shows the weapon. Mise-en-scene in this scene is going to bring tension as it gives the audience a knowledge of what is going to happen. This is also done with the speed of the music getting faster.
4th box: Going back to the bedroom that the psychopath is in, the camera will zoom away from the window to show the man lying in the bed. In this scene we are going to darken to go with the conventions of a Thriller film. Also, in the final opening sequence, we are not going to have the voice i nthe background, just the music.

1st box: *flashback* This is the scene where the victim gets attacked by the physcopath. Although the storyboard shows that she gets attacked by a knife, in the actual video she gets attacked by a rock as we thought the weapon would be more reasonable as the scene is set in the woods.
2nd box: The scene then jumps back to the bedroom that the psychcopath is lying in. Different parts of the room flash up on the screen, we thought this went well with the conventions of a thriller film.
3rd box: *flashback* This scene shows the victim that has been, murdured by the psychopath who is standing over her. It then shows him running away from the victim who is lying there dead. The music builds up at this part to show the tension.
4th box: This is the final time whe nthe scene goes back to the psychopath in the bed. The camera gradually moves up the body of the man to finally show a close up of his face. His eyes then quickly opens.

This is the end scene where the Film title appears. The title is going to appear when there is a close up of the psychopath's face and he opens his eyes. The music throughout the opening sequence is going to be composed by group member Luke James, by screeching on his guitar strings, and making high pitched notes on a piano, also there is also a Thriller tune that is played throughout by the piano.

Whilst in the middle of filming, we decided to change some of the ideas that we inluded in the storyboard to make the film more realistic. As an example, instead of using a knife as the weapon, we decided to use a rock as it also went well with the surrondings we were filming in. Also, we decided instead of two girls going for a walk in the woods like it says, overall we decided only to use one girl for a walk, as it went more well with the theme (a girl by herself, running away from a physcopath).
