Production Diary
Day 1 (13th November)- Me, Aaron, James and Harrison all discussed and shared our individual pitches to each other and all decided on the best one to present to the class. We decided to present James' as his had the best story line. After we had presented we then decided a whole new idea which was to do a documentary and James started to plan the prezi for this.
Day 2 (14th November)- Our prezi was created for our documentary and we presented it to the class. Good feedback was given back to us for us to improve and we didn't get much criticism. With the feedback we then made a few changes to our storyline and then was discussed with Miss Brookes.
Day 3 (17th November)- Our group sat together and decided on all the improvements for our final film pitch. We then starting our sources we will be using in the film so Aaron created a newspaper article which will be used in our film. Me, James and Harrison also helped by giving him ideas.

The titles in this film opening are all in capitals and have a white, bold font. Many thrillers tend to use capitals and bold writing like this film. The titles are all animated the same on green lines to a black background. The music in the background is very tension building and has the effect of a thriller as the tension shows something scary or strange is going to happen. The use of black, green and white colours shows it isn’t a very uplifting film as they are dim, boring colours, although the use of green shows it as more of a thriller.

An

kidnapper’s cabin for 15 years when he was just 15 years old. Throughout this
film opening we will show evidence of the conditions the man lived in and talk
about how the psycho was found. We imagine the man as a psycho because the
conditions he lived in turned him mental.

Our
genre is a documentary. Although it comes across as a thriller we are showing
the life of the psycho in a documentary and then interviewing them.

Film Opening Analysis- Unspoken
I would give this film opening a low level 4 as it only shows some levels of excellence. The titles are used appropriately according to institutional conventions and the editing of the titles have been produced well. Each title blends in well with each scene and has interesting conventions. Also a variety of shots have been used to show key details and sound effects have been used appropriately for example the rustling of the paper in the bag. It is made apparent that the film opening is a mystery/crime and not too much is given away which makes it more interesting.
Film Opening Analysis- The Visitor
I would give this film opening a level 4 as it shows some level of excellence. Titles are used appropriately and the titles are effective make it seem like more of a horror. I also liked the close up shots as it gives the impression that the girl isn't human and may be in fact a spirit. The shots of her fading away also gives this impression. I found this opening interesting because it doesn't give too much away like a trailer and leaves on an interesting cliff hanger which makes you want to watch further. The sound was also good with the whispering in the background which makes it more sinister and scary. The higher volume at the end of the film opening makes it more jumpy. Overall I'd give 55 out of 60 it has shown level 4 criteria.
