2. Film Openings

 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.
 The black and red used
represent blood and
mystery, which relates to
our thriller genre and
spy sub-genre.

3. Pace

 Our opening
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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 
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.

7. 
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.
