3. PRODUCTION COMPANY 1
The first frame shows our
groups production company
logo. We choose to keep the
ident fairly simple using just
black and white colours, so
there is a strong contrast
therefore it will be eye
catching and memorable for
the audience which would
make our logo recognised in
the industry and with the
genre of film we wanted to be
associated with. The tree
could be seen as sinister as it
is dark whereas most trees
are full of colour and life.
We placed this at the beginning of our opening
sequence as we are following the conventions
of other production companies of film
openings.

The second frame is a close up
shot of the main characters eyes
closed, I chose this to show the
contrast between this natural eye
looking shot and the next frame
which shows how much the drug
has changed him.
5. Third frame is an extreme close up
of the main characters eyes, they are
open here and edited to look red.
This is done to show the intense
effect the drug has had on his mind
and how its changed the way he
views situations. We chose to use
this high impact shot as we wanted
the audience to focus only on the
eyes and how they’ve changed.

Forth frame shows the Title of
our film, I chose this screen
grab as it is significant as it’s
the audiences first
introduction of the title. We
choose a bold yet simple font
to focus the shot on the word
of Epoch as there is meaning
behind it. This meaning behind
this word relates to our genre
of action thriller as it shows the
film is about a dramatic
turning point in someone's life.
ep·och
noun: epoch; plural noun: epochs
a period of time in history or a person's
life, typically one marked by notable
events or particular characteristics.
7. 5
This frame shows the first set of
titles included in the opening
sequence I choose this as it shows
the main character injecting the
drug into his system which is a key
part of the movie. There is an effect
over this close up shot which makes
the shot look fairly dark and
disorientated this is to show what
kind of effect he drug would have on
The main characters life.
8. 6
This frame shows the main
characters arm with scars,
this also has an effect which
causes the shot to look dark
and disorientated. This is set
in the bedroom after the
foreshadowing of future
events in the first minute of
the opening sequence. This is
to show the condition of his
life before the drug.
9. 7
This frame shows the first
introduction of the government lady.
This is significant as she shows him
the drug and encourages him to
take it. We used an over the
shoulder shot here to remind the
audience that this scene shows a
meeting in-between two characters.
The look of this shot differs from
the others as it is in light and it is
clear what is going on. This is to
show the contrast of the organised
government official and the main
characters lives.
10. 8
This frame shows the main
character as he is in the process of
running away from any government
official. We chose this shot as the
alley represents how he is running
away from everyone and the walls
are closing in on him. The dark
figure in the background is there to
remind the audience that no matter
how hard he will try to escape what
he has taken and done there will
always be his memory and
destruction right behind him.
11. The final frame I chose shows the
extreme close up of main characters
eyes over a shot of him signing the
form agreeing to take the drug. This
shows the importance of him signing
away his sanity through agreeing to
take the drug. The shot of his eyes in
the background show how seriously
the drug alter him, we chose red for
his eyes to signify the danger he has
got himself into
