Finished thriller

This is the opening thriller film, The Collector! Hop you enjoy!

Designing/Making: Tile Sequence

The name of our film is called "The Collection", this is because during the film a collection deal is in place with a parcel. For the title sequence we used a black background and a white font. The font we use is ORATOR white. As the font is white and the background is black, the title stands out to the audience.

Designing/Making: Ident

Our ident was made using premier pro we took an image from Google of the evolution of the human being and decided to call it Stone Age Studios. we took a sound effect of a monkey screaming and used it as background noise, so when the film starts if the viewer is not pay attention the loud disorientating sound will catch the attention of the viewer. we used the name Stone Age Studios as the thought as the picture show the evolution of the human and it starts at the Stone Age we thought it went well.

First Draft/Evaluation

This is the first draft of the thriller opening. As you can see it is not completely finished, but wanted to show the audience a quick look to see there views. As its the very first it was not the best, there were many errors. During the filming, there where many scenes that needed to be cut out as we did something wrong and didn't film correctly. But this is just a quick summary of what it will look like.





This is what im going to talk about we are going to include to the finished thriller.

Build up
A small clip of the thug switching the switch, and another scene where you see where the hostage is hep when the light appears, you will see foot steps walking down the stairs and stepping on glass.

Violent part
A scene where the thug pulls the hostage around the room and water boards him. This torture's the hostage and shows the thugs in control.

Non-linear narrative
This is when the flash back comes in place and shows what happens before, we are going to add the thugs partner watching a deal go past where we will use eye line match.

Editing 1

Today Ayush and James have finished the editing of the film, during the edit they have cut out all the swearing and all the scenes where something hasn't gone too right. The editing was the hardest bit of the film this is because me and James are not very good with the technology but as time carries on we shall get better. Even though the editing didn't take so long Ayush and James agree that the film is looking really well.

In this Ayush and James were editing the film, it took them a while trying to get rid of all the bad scenes. During this they also made the studio idents for the film.
