- 3. We chose this font and title for our production company because it is very effective. The font styles are very simple, which gives an effect of professionalism and makes it look very classy. The title has an animation of light passing behind the font, this makes it stand out that little bit more, to draw the attention of the audience.
- 4. In this shot, it shows a scene where the main character is walking down a dark alley. The effects on the shot are a CCTV camera effect. This gives a darker effect on the shot and adds suspense to what he is doing. Also this shot does not show the identity of the character, which adds a mysterious effect to what the audience may think.
- 5. In this shot, there are 3 separate shots of the main character waling through a town center, and then 1 other shot setting the scene. This split screen lets the audience see what is happening from different perspectives. Also the 4 different shots set the scene of where the character is working, and by showing him in 3 different location, could suggest that he knows his way around the town, and again in these shots the identity of the character is again a mystery.
- 6. This screen shot is of our titles. They are all white, and some are on a black background and some blend in with some of the shots, as you can see they have an animation added to them which fades them out of the shot. The titles are bold, with contrasting colours to the background which all makes them stand out more.
- 7. This is the Main Title for our trailer, we have made this title even bigger than the others because it is the most important, as we wanted the audience to focus on the name of the film. We also changed the colours and style to this title by making the word and background the same colour and then adding a glow to make it stand out. This effect makes the title have a more darker and scarier feel to it.
- 8. In this shot, you can see the main character looking at a map, he has got his hand up near his head which may suggest he is think. He then points at a location on the map and walks on, this could indicate an area where he is going, and could then play a vital part in the film, which leaves the audience thinking what could happen.
- 9. In this part of the opening sequence, you can see the main character going into his pocket to put his phone away where he was previously talking to someone. In this shot we have used a very low camera angle that helps the audience to see where he is heading (into the woods) and again, makes them think what he is going to do when he gets there.
- 10. Here you can see the main character, with another of our props (the newspaper). In this scene of the opening sequence we added a blur along with changing the brightness, we did this because we felt that when we shot this scene, it was a lot lighter than we wanted, so making this darker has added a more spooky effect.
- 11. This is the last shot of the opening sequence and it shows the main character walking into the deep woods, and after walking through the whole town, it could suggest he is going to do something he has already planned. As he walks away into the woods and away from the camera, it leaves the audience thinking what is going to happen.
