Title Sequence Inspiration

Thriller Title Inspiration: Silent Hill Revelation

I particularly like the text in this screenshot, because the typography used is rustic and bold. It is also sans serif. The camerawork is a mid shot of the name of the actor and the blurred figure in the background is out of focus. Editing in this shot has been used by using the camera focus to blur out the figure so the audience is suspicious and it creates mystery. The sound used in this clip was very depressing and had sounds of screeching knives in the background. The main prop in this shot is the figure and the lighting focuses on the actor’s name. The setting is not known at this point. The foreground has been used to show the audience clues of what's in the film. The background has been used to reveal more of what's happening.

The camerawork is a mid shot of the disfigured manikin girls, suspended in the air. Editing in this shot has been used to suspend the manikins and their weapons. This was done using a freeze frame. The sound used did not change and was again very depressing and had sounds of screeching knives in the background. The main props in this shot are the manikins and the lighting highlights there existence. The setting is still not known at this point. Again the foreground has been used to show the audience clues of what's in the film. The background has been used to reveal more of what's happening.

The camerawork in this shot is a close up of the weapon cracking into the floor. Editing in this shot has been used to spread out the pieces of the floor, which again have been suspended in the air. The sound used in this clip is continuous. The main props in this shot are the manikin’s feet and the weapon. The lighting is very bright in the background and allows us to see much of the surroundings. The foreground has been used to show the audience a shot of the weapon used in the film. The background does not show as much in this shot.

Camerawork in this shot is a low long angle, of the name of the game creator and again the blurred manikin’s in the background. Editing in this shot has been used to blur out the manikins so the audience is suspicious. The sound used in this clip is still continuous throughout. The main prop in this shot is the manikins and the lighting highlights the manikins, but does it in a way so they are shadowed on. The setting is still not known at this point. The foreground has been used to show the audience a shadowed clue of what's in the film. The background has been used to reveal more lighting to darken the figures out.

Camerawork in this shot is a close up again, of a manikins cracked face. Editing in this shot has been used to hold the action of the face cracking, in a still point in time. The sound used in this clip is still continuous throughout although it has picked up at this point. The main prop in this shot is the manikins face and the lighting highlights what has happened to the face, but shadows the rest of the background. Therefore we still cannot get a clear picture of where all of this is taking place. The foreground has been used to show the audience a smashed face to represent danger in the film. The background does not reveal as much to the audience in this shot.

Lionsgate make thriller films like these and they mainly specify in this genre. Lionsgate is a suitable institution to produce our thriller film because, the company specialises in making most thriller films and have a very similar target audience which is typically a young range of people aged between 15 and 30.  Lionsgate work within the thriller genre and have created some fantastic films. This will hopefully help our group to make a successful and creative thriller opening. Lionsgate have expanded from television to having their own record label. This also reassures our group that Lionsgate are a trusted and well known company, that are very successful and a very good inspiration for our group.
