Music

The music is now completed and the theme around it is very random and abstract, giving the audience a chance to immerse in the crazy world in which the 2 characters live in. Throughout the music there is a constant clock ticking representing the title inheritance. The random effects, of various items is to create a sense of madness for the audience.

Music

The music is a combination of lots of different tracks taken from Garage Band. We tried make it as creepy and thriller like by adding different tracks such as phone tracks, morse code and cycle noises. This enabled us to make the atmosphere more realistic and fit in with the video.

These are our title ideas.

We decided to use Lucida Blackletter as our text, as it looks old fashioned and fits with the theme of our opening.

Panic Room

Our montage sequence for The Panic Room included a lot of the cast and the production crew of the film. The setting for the film is in a panic room, hence the title sequence being set in and around a city.

The text is a consistent silver blocky font, which emphasises the cityscape. The atmosphere of the film is set by the moving people ad transpo 

Fargo, opening sequence analysis

How does it fit with the genre: The genre of Fargo certainly comes across as a thriller in the opening sequence, the way in which it is so mysterious, the blue space for the first part of the opening sequence, down to white, all we know and see at this point is a faint image of a car in the background, we know nothing of what this car is about or who or what is in it. This film is a hybrid cross over with a survival. As it is set in a remote place,  the sub genre, is not clear in the opening sequence further analysis would be required.

In the opening sequence we have not been introduced into any of the characters, the narrative in the opening sequence is not clear although there is a broken down car, so this relates to the thriller genre, as we do not know how the car become broken down. The camera work is not very advanced it is quite naturalistic.

Locations for filming

We have decided thast fitting with cambridges river and punting heritage, we thought that an opening involving one of cambridges many historical bridges would be fitting for the historical thriller.

Lionsgate production logo

Lionsgate:
The music is quite loud, giving an over powering and dramatic feel . The way everything comes together showing a gate symbolises the gate and everything forming up, leaving us with the title of Lionsgate

Panic Room

The title sequence of Panic Room immediately shows the film will be set in a city, as of the background being skyscrapers which the titles are set on. The consistent colours of silver and the blocky font emphasise the city atmosphere.

Definition Research

Continuity Editing:

The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a flow  between shots.

  

180 degree rule:

The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Match on action:

A match cut is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in the two shots match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots.

Shot reverse shot:

Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
