Music

We had previously found music from the website www.mobygratis.com. Despite the music available we found a tune which we thought would be appropriate for our thriller starter. However, after integrating the music to the video, we came to the conclusion that the music tune did not go well with the video. It made the mood of the film change to a sort of aquatic movie scene. We therefore began to search through the mobygratis website for more different music that would go well as a thriller. Nevertheless, we felt mobygratis had a very limited music to chose from. We were told of another good on-copy write music website 'www.freeplaymusic.com'. Here we found tonnes of music and couldn't make up our minds because of the good music to choose from.

Film Production

Filming shots- here we were discussing the different angles we should use in our shots as well as keeping to the rules, one most commonly known as the 180 degree rule.

This is the camera positioned, ready to take different shots that we are looking for.

This is a still view of the premises/location which is used as the movie commences. 

Children of Men

In the thriller movie 'Children of Men', shock was used more heavily than suspense, for example in the opening scene everything was all calm, the camera follows the lead character out of the shop and down the road where he stops to put sugar into his coffee. The camera rotates 360 degrees around him at a normal pace, so the viewer can take a good look at him as well as the surrounding, and rests on him with his side to the shop. Immediately out of nowhere the coffee shop explodes without warning; this is shocking to the audience as we had no idea or suggestion that the peace would be disrupted in such a shocking manner.

Music Authorisation

This is the music copyright use granted by the copyright holder. I can now use this music in my film without a problem.

Target Audience

We are going to create a 'Spy Thriller' which will not contain any graphic or disturbing footage and so we have decided that the rating for our film will be 12+. This is because we feel it is suitable for people the age 12 and over, however younger viewers may not understand the concepts of the film.

Script

There is no script for our thriller film opening as it contains minimal dialogue which does not require scripting. The film is mostly based around the visuals and music, therefore the use of dialogue is not needed.

Thriller Openings - In the Cut

We analysed the opening of the film 'In The Cut'. The title enters the frame whilst there is a man skating past. The trails look as though there is some sort of blood on them, which indicates an aspect of what is to come further into the film, and also gives an idea of what the film is about. This helps to create an atmosphere for the audience and builds up suspense.

Thriller Openings - Se7en

The opening of this film simply shows the characters hands performing activities but it is able to create an atmosphere for the audience. The opening also shows the character doing quite mischievous things, which indicates the fact that the film is a Thriller.

Thriller Openings - Panic Room

The opening credits are introduced before we see any characters, and are accompanied by shots of buildings. There is the sound of a clock ticking, indicating that time is an aspect of the film and this also builds suspense and makes the audience wonder what is to happen next. There is a sound bridge in the opening as we hear the character's voice before we see her; the sound links the two shots together. The final shot we see is of the first character.

Film Music

We had to ensure that the music in our thriller is non-copyright so that we don't get involved in any copyright law trouble for using music without correct permission if our film opening becomes a box office hit. There are a few websites in which we can get non-copyright music from. However to get full access to the music, we had to sign up to the websites and contact the creator of the music to ask for permission.
