These techniques are meant to intrigue audiences and make them more interested in watching the films. The document suggests using similar techniques in an opening sequence for a film project.
This is a presentation which displays the differences between comedy and thriller title sequences, detected through the title faces used in the opening sequence

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Se7en From studying the trailer for the thriller film Se7en I was able to see that close ups were frequently used to contribute to the dramatic atmosphere of the trailer. This particular close up shoes “Help Me” written in blood which tells the audience that blood has been spilt which is typical in a thriller and/or horror film. Close ups allow the audience to see details clearly and in thriller films this would put the viewer on edge, thus making them more interested in watching the film. The fonts used in the trailer for Se7en vary. In this screen shot a white, serif font has been used and all the letters are capitalised. This is most likely to ensure that the audience are able to read the words on the screen and also to create a serious atmosphere whereas lower case font would have seemed more casual. The black background connotes danger, mystery and horror and the white contrasts with this as it connotes innocence and vulnerability.
3. The title of the film is left to be shown at the end of the trailer so that the audience is left with the name of the film in mind. This then ensures that they won’t forget which film that they want to see. In this screen shot from the trailer “seven” is written in a white, lower case, font which is similar to handwriting and this adds a chilling element to the trailer. The main part of this screen shot is that the number seven is presented to us in the form of a tally which is interesting, different and intrigues the audience. This screen shot shows one of the seven deadly sins. The red font and black background connotes blood, danger and death which are conventions of thriller films. Although the dominant colour, the red is mad bolder because of this. We may consider using these colours in our opening sequence. The font suggests to the audience a church/holy setting or theme in the film.
4. Black Swan The title of the film is shown to audience in capitalised, white serif font which connotes a serious atmosphere. The background and dominant colour is black which, like Se7en, connotes, mystery, horror and danger. The title has been placed at the centre of the screen as this is where the viewer’s eye is most drawn too and we will most likely place the name of our film in the centre of the screen as well. One of the first shots in the trailer is one of a woman in the background. We are unable to see who she is clearly and this creates mystery and suspense to the atmosphere of the trailer. Again, the dominant colour is black and there is a white spotlight shining on the woman which creates an eeriness to the trailer. Ambiguous shots such as this are frequently used in thriller films and we will also be using shots like this in our opening sequence.
5. This screen shot is a close up of the main character’s face in her dance makeup. The wide eyed, intense scare, shocks the audience just as it is intended to do. Shots such as these are used frequently to scare and thrill the reader which we will also use to establish the fact that our opening sequence is of the horror genre. The make up is particularly unnerving and interesting and this catches the interest of the viewer making them more likely to see the film. Here, the main character has her faced turned away from the camera. She has an ambiguous expression on her face which the viewers may interpret to be one of pain, anguish or something else entirely. Again the main colours are black and white and this appears to be the general colour palette through the entire trailer.
