rough cut 4 for the pyre

music source

the music source for the film is incompetech. we decided to use this website because it has copyright free music which can be downloaded. the site has a easy search section where you can choose different music styles which brings up a range of different audio effects. each audio source comes with a description and genre type. for the film i was making, i choose the options suspence , dark ,intence and theses options come back with a lot of responces. we looked though alot of them and decided which ones we thought would fit with the theme and the story and genre of the film. we also used cuebase 6 that was joined to a keyboard we wanted to create a short melody for the start of the film. we had many different rhythms in mind and tried to match the story and whats going on onscreen.

title sequence analysis

These are some of the some examples that I have been looking at for opening titles for my film as part of g321.i like the jaws one because it’s very simplistic using simple fades and the iconic music identified with the shark about to attack someone. The music appears as the shot goes to and underwater tilt this is used as it is trying to replicate a shark swimming thought the water, it gives a very important feel to the story straight away. The main jaws title is very bold and thick and grabs the viewer’s attention it is a very unique font that the viewers can only identify with this film. The credits are very big and bold and I think this fits the whole theme of the film. At the start the credits include the universal studios logo as it’s the producer of the films. I also choose the psycho opening titles of 1960. I like in the into that it is constantly moving and it uses an interesting transition methods and colours that I think could be related to the theme of the film. The font is very straight and the font size is small that could be linked to a psycho theme with a black background there is also included the paramount logo to show that that is where the film was made the intro also includes very fast strange music that I think relates to the them very well and in some ways sets the tone of the film.

audience profile

The audience I am trying to target with my film will be.

Who likes watching films a lot and has an interest in different styles on the horror genre and likes watching films a 4+ times a month. I have seen from research I have done into film and people that I have asked that people that are interested in film of all different genres watch a lot of different types of there interested genre

Mainly an age range of 15-17 or 18-25 where the ages that answered the survey more than other age ranges this could suggest that they have the time to answer surveys about film and they have the knowledge about film to answer it. The range that I have decided upon seems to be acceptable with the backing of the research I have done into ratings of films and what types of content in films increase the rating with violence being a common feature that increases ratings on film. I have the age rating at 15+ because the my film contains to features of violence or any adult content because I feel it does not require that to be a great horror film and that if we just include the elements people like such as shocks and a fitting storyline people will like it more that regular films. My improvement question to horror films in the survey suggests this that people want more storyline and better suspence   

Mainly male because my surveys suggest that they could be more interested in the horror genre than other types of film genres. Where this cant be really tested I believe that because more males have anwered the survey than females and I have a much higher result for horror than any other genre listed that I must be down to more males liking that certain genre.

A student mainly in college/university or in work I believe this is the right employment target to aim for because this group may have more time to spend watching films especially if they are doing courses to do with film or media. Also my survey results show that more students have answered the survey than a person in full time employment this could suggest this.

A person that is interested at a wide range of horror elements such as suspence , shocks and storyline all of these elements seemed popular with the people who answered the survey.
