Health and Safety considerations:

Lighting:
When using either the red heads or the portable lights we must make sure that any waires are taped up and that the lights themselves are on a stable base as so thay do not fall and cause injury. GLoves will be used when handling these lights, especially when they are turned on to avoid buring

Props:
As we are planning to use knives in our film we must make sure that we handle them with care, especially around other people

Trains:
We are going to be filming at a train station so we must take obvious precautions to not endanger ourselves or other people that may be at the station

Synopsis of Thriller opening - David, Chris and Jamie

We want to keep the story of our thriller opening simple, but we also wish to make the veiwer want to carry on watching the rest of the film. We will do this through raising Enigma codes and use of restricted narrative.



The plot of our thriller will be based on a phycotic murderer who is pursuing a victim. We will base this in a village and the targeted victim will be at a train station when the attackes choses to strike. The victim is then taken back to a house where he is gagged and knocked out by the murderer, with the use of knives the killer will kill people from his list of targets. The list is kept in the form of pictures.

The film starts whilst the victim is on the floor of his house, there will then be a flashback and the story will follow from there.

Title Sequence analysis - Psycho 1969 - David Duffy



-The colours are black and grey, not only do they connote darkness and shadow but they also set a hopeless theme for the rest of the film – the use of colours also connote death

- The film's titles are not interfering with the narrative, they are separate but the title sequence does relate slightly to the themes and content of the rest of the movie

-The way in which each of the words cut apart when they are entering and leaving pthe screen connotes a stabbing action. Also, the way that many of the words slice apart also relates back to knives

- The music is non-diegetic - it is extremely unnerving and carries with it an inconsistent rhythm and note which doesn't let the viewer settle down

- Occasionally there is a lapse in the intensity of the music, this could be used to represent time in-between each of the murders.

- The urgency of the orchestral music is designed to unnerve the viewer, this in turn creates enigma as the viewer perhaps doesn't fully understand why. Also, the tone of the music runs parallel with the themes and tones set by the images of stage; they are both frightening to the viewer
- Some of the editing in this sequence shows the words being ‘mangled’ instead of slicing of the screen; this could suggest something more sinister to the viewer –

- Saul Bass - famous for title sequences and did many co-operations with the director of Psycho Alfred Hitchcock

    Again, there are few places to comment on your blog - you need to look at your settings and formatting for this and check whether you can improve this. The other explanation is that you are posting lots of comments at once, so make sure each post is separated.
