Fern and I
felt that the text was a huge aspect that had to be considered in our film
opening, we had to decide on the colour, style, size and where we would
position it; these are all vital features that we have to consider as it
develops the opening to be more conventional and professional.
The opening credits in a film are a huge source of information and are used in every single professional film. Fern and I feel it is extremely important that we incorporate opening credits as we are eager to achieve an opening which is in a professional style. We hope to use them overlapping our scenes that we have produced, as we will feel that if we constantly go to a black screen to show the credits, it will then waste time that is not needed, and also decrease the feeling of tension that is being built up. Using them to overlap onto the screen would suggest a steady movement which then can relate to the conventions of our chosen thriller genre. As Fern and I are revolving our opening around a stalker we feel using an overlapping text will personify the manners a stalker would portray (e.g. moving slowly, being sly etc)
Some credits are less important than others therefore I feel that it is useless to put them on black screens as we have to ensure that our opening has the duration of two minutes.
Fern and I will guarantee that the style, size and colour of the opening credits is appropriate for the thriller genre that we have chosen, it is significant that the text is able to be read from all ages. Particular ages may have difficulty reading font that is too big or too small, therefore we have to select a font that is most appropriate for all individuals. The size will not be consistent, as we feel more significant actors/actresses should be in a larger font as they have a huge affect on the audience and need to be noticed instantly.
A colour of Font that appealed to Fern and I the most was the colour white, once we had merged together all of our footage and began editing, we began to test our different styles sizes positioning and colour of fonts. It was difficult to find a colour font that was noticeable when being placed over the top of our shots. We felt that black was too harsh and obvious, black often signifies death, evil and power which is extremely appropriate for our thriller genre, however Fern and I don’t want to use a stereotypical colour which would give away the genre instantly. Red is another colour which could be associated with a thriller genre as it represents danger, blood etc, however I feel the colour red is more appropriate for a gory film rather than a mysterious thriller. Fern and I had come to a conclusion that white would challenge the conventions of a thriller genre, as white usually signifies purity and goodness, therefore using white for a thriller genre would be unusual.
The title will be larger than the rest of the font’s that we use as it is the most significant feature, as it determines whether the audience will continue to watch the film or not. Some thriller films take the title to a separate location to show the edited screen, Fern and I felt this was an interesting aspect to consider as it will clearly show that the title is the most important text that is used. Fern and I had come to termination that we would use a black screen to put our title on; however we may change our minds when we are further developing our editing etc.
