Final Draft

This is our final draft, from the feedback that we got we decided that we could improve our film opening. We changed font and even some shots. Overall I think that the changes that we made definitely improved the film opening as a whole.

A School's Nightmare


I would give this film opening a level 4 because I think that this opening overall was really interesting and different and the story line was unique and made you want to know what will happen next. The shots are really nice in this and you can see that this took a lot of time and work to make.

 I would give this film opening a level 4 because I think that the story line is really unique and you can tell that it took a lot of time to think of it and actually get the right shots. Also the makeup and location was really nice and made the opening very exciting. I really liked the shots in this one they were very creative. This opening really makes you think about what could happen next.

Peer Assessment

Group Sequence: Panophobia

What elements of this sequence did you feel were successful? give at least 2 elements, and explain why they were successful. 

I think that the most successful parts of this film opening were the titles and the shots of the flashbacks. From the titles you can see that this took time and planning and that a lot thought went into it but then also you can see that this then had to be edited so that the timings were right and not off which also would've taken a lot of time so that the titles were perfect. Also the flash backs were really well done, they really helped build on the story and helped create a bigger picture to the audience of what was actually going on

Were there any aspects of the sequence which you felt were confusing/distracting/missing, etc? Be sure to explain your answers. 


The only thing I did find a bit confusing would be the long blank screens towards the end as it was hard to tell if the opening was over or not and overall that just made me confused as  I wasn't sure on when to start thinking more about the opening and instead I was shocked when It carried on.

List 2 things which you feel would have improved this sequence and explain your opinion. 


One way to improve could be to change the long black screens at the end so that people don't get confused and also another improvement could be to maybe make sure that when your filming that all the shots you get are clear as some of the titles were hard to see sometimes.

Research codes/conventions of genre and audience

We researched different codes/conventions of genre and audience to come up with our film opening. Here are some of the ideas we got:

Storyline:

• Unsolved crime
• Centred around detective/Normal civilian
• Detective/ Normal civilian pieces things together

Setting

• A big open area where the murder will happen 
• Office/room- detective/normal civilian puts pieces together 

Themes:

• Mystery- lots of enigma codes to make you think who could have murdered the young girl
• Crime- young girl being murdered in a park

Characters:

• Detective/Normal civilian
• Criminal

Props:

• murder weapon 

Editing:

• Fades to black- creates suspense

Sound:

• Mellow, eerie orchestral music- adds tension
• Slow and creepy soundtracks

All of the codes and conventions relate to our film opening because in a murder mystery film there is a lot of tension and suspense.

Intitution for film opening

The companies that would produce these films are Lions gate and Paramount this is because they are big production companies so the film will be well known and a lot of people will want to see the film. They also release a range of different film genres so they would happily produce this film. Here I have explained why we picked Paramount and Lionsgate as our film production companies. In this video the reasons have been explained.
