A mood is set within the film opening, we used a red

echo effect with a very low contrast to make the audience feel intrigued and wanting to understand what's going on.

Film Openings

The black and red used represent blood and mystery, which relates to our thriller genre and spy sub-genre.

Our opening

Pace

We have a variety of paces within our opening, however, majority of it is medium, this is so that at tense parts we are able to switch easily to fast paced and slower paced for important scenes, this allows the audience to feel different emotions throughout the film.

Location & Character

We set the opening locations by showing shots of London. We shot big ben, the London eye, china town, Trafalgar square and many more.

For the narrative we based it in kings cross St. Pancras so we showed the outside and inside so the audience was familiar with the surroundings.

We filmed our characters in these places to show a journey and adventure which will be expanded on in the film.

Titles

We used the font Heroin 07, because its very bold and stands out, however it has a weathered effect which makes it slightly unclear and creates a creepy effect, this mirrors our theme by making it seem rough and well-rounded

We made the colour of the text white against the red and black background so it will stand out more and people would be able to read it. However, the text goes by a little bit too fast which is something we’d change if we could go back to it.

Conventionally the Idents come first and then the title of the film is displayed, we stuck to this as it fit what was going on in the film more, the title came up at a very effective place.

We then moved on to the stars of the film starting with the most important on their own screen and others sharing a screen.

We looked into the smaller details of the titles making sure we got all the conventional jobs accounted for, we ended on the two main titles to make sure they’re remembered the most which are the writers and director.This is effective because it’s a well known layout and makes sure everyone is listed in a certain order.
