Opening Tiltes Ideas 3

This title uses inspiration from the film 'American Psycho' the knife would come across the screen, while the writing would be blood and as you can see towards the end of the blade the letters over hang the blade to give the apperance of the blood dripping from it. I prefer this title to the other two as it is more of a mature feeling to it were the other two titles had a childish feel to them. 

Opening Title Ideas 2

This was the second title idea I have come up for our film opening. This time I went with the idea of what do most people think of when Halloween comes to mind. So I went round a couple of people asking them what they think of for Halloween, I got a few Bats, Witches, Moons and Pumpkins. So I used the pumpkin idea. I believe this title is better then first, but it is still not the best it could be as there is still a some what of a childish element there still.  

Opening Title Ideas


This is the first of the ideas I have designed, the inspirtaion behind this title is one of the halloween feel as, mine and chris's film is set around Halloween. Because I drew this I looked for inspiration, so therefore I looked at Horror/Thriller film titles that had a Halloween fell to them like, Halloween and Trick 'r Treat. And this is the result I got, as you can see there is Halloween feel to it but it is to childish for what we want are film to be.

Evaluation Tasks

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups? 

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

4. Who is the main target audience for your product? 

5. How did you attract/ address your target audience? 

6. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do  you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product? 

7. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?  

These are the seven evaluation questions that I will be answering for my opening scene project. Both, me and my partner Chris have decided to do individual tasks for the evaluation, as we want to create individual looks to the ending of the of our blogs. As well we have different opinions of what we should do for each of the questions.

Age Ratings 

The the link above is the British Board of Film Classification(bbfc), and in this link it gives you all the criteria of all the age limits, British films are set at due to their contents. And this made me think about what age limit are film would be set at if the bbfc had to classify are film, would most likely be a (15) as the content of the film, is not that particularly bloody or that controversial with the language or opinion of characters on screen.
This is our round up of all the information and research we have gathered for our final film opening scene. Within this podcast of ours we discuss how the research has led me to creating a psychological thrillers that was the favored genre for the majority of the people that did the questionnaire. As well as the outline of our idea for our film, is within this film as well.
