My Final Titles

Here are my final titles! After weeks of work I have finally finished the titles. I hope you enjoy!!

Costumes

For my opening, I have chosen to portray my character running through the park. She is wearing appropriate clothing as she is wearing running leggings, and a dri fit top. You would see someone wearing this who would be heavily interested in running, keeping fit and going to the gym. I felt that the costume was important as it showed that the event of running through the park was not a one-off event that the character would go through, but it was part of her daily routine and that if she was wearing appropriate clothing it would show her dedication to the activity.

My Final Ident

Here is my final ident. I used final cut pro to produce my ident. I then used multiple filters and effects to create an effect, ident and attempt at making it look professional. The ident took me about an hour to edit and to correct my timings to make sure that it was in time with the royalty free backing track.

Ident Research

Here I have looked at analysed to companies ident's, Lionsgate and Paramount. I have chosen 2 different idents to show how idents can differ between different films released by the company. 

Lionsgate first originated from another production, Cinepix Productions. Later, they advanced the company, introducing Lionsgate. The Lionsgate ident has been displayed at the beginning of many horror films, such as, ‘American Psycho’ and ‘Cabin In The Woods’.

 



As we can see from the Lionsgate ident above, it is the most recent version, produced in 2011.

The ident begins with a faded black screen, then transitions to the mechanics found inside a clock, a sudden shot change appears and the clock begins to rapidly zoom out to a door, which has a keyhole. The door then opens and we see the Lionsgate ident, surrounded by dusky clouds in the sky.



Conversely, Lionsgate produced a similar ident, initially for Horror films. The ident is similar to the original as of the mechanics and clock and the beginning. However, the color scheme changes to a dusky brown, which may connote the shadowy atmosphere to Horror films. Furthermore, at the end, the Lionsgate ident is surrounded by fiery and smokey clouds and the font becomes red, which connotes the sense of evil within a Horror film.

2 Minute Film Opening Analysis

In this task, I had to analyse the first 2 opening minutes of a horror film. I decided to analyse the film 'Cabin In The Woods'. I used the on line subscription 'Netflix' in order to view the movie. I would use this 2 minute analysis to help me establish my own opening of my horror sequence.
