TITLE SEQUENCE TO THRILLERS
           PITCH
Our film opening will be a psychological thriller titled "Attraction", which is inspired by the film
opening"Se7en“


                                         Planned Location
The location for our film opening will be in a small
room which is focused on a table.
As we were inspired by the
film opening "Se7en" our
opening will show several shots
of someone's hands, doing something on the table.
Because our sub genre is a psychological thriller we do not want to tell the audience anything
and just want them to think about what is actually happening.
•   Our film opening will be a Discrete title sequence that mainly involves a lot of editing. We
    wanted to make our opening about someone who is obsessed with girls, but we do not tell
    the audience this, all we show is a man looking at images of girls, cutting the images and
    looking at their profiles on social network sites, we wanted to use the software “ Camtasia”
    to allow us to make a shot of someone on a social networking site in-boxing a teenage girl
    a message. There is also going to be flashes of several images such as a church,
    gravestones, swings and images from books, which will be shown throughout as we see
    the images of teenage girls. We wanted to have the speed of the opening to be quite fast
    so lots of shots will be faded on top of each other, as the opening proceeds the speed of
    the shots and music will get faster then at the end will stop which will show the title of our
    opening “Attraction”.
•   As we were inspired by the film opening of
    “Se7en” we wanted to have lots of props
    crossed converged throughout the
    opening. Props that will be shown in our
    opening will include a bible, crucifix,
    photos of grave stones, statues and our
    main prop, images of girls.

Another shot of the facebook page   On top of the previous shot there is some   Black screen with the title

Ideas about sound: Sound ideas that we have is throughout the opening of the thriller there
could be spooky dramatic music playing over the video whilst the man is looking at all of the
photographs of the young females and whilst the camera is panning over the items that are on
the table. We are going to use a variety of sound from sound pro software on the mac and
maybe get sound from other existing clips or if we need to add more sound then just create it
ourselves.

                                   Production schedule: In the next two weeks we are
                                  going to be quickly preparing for our thriller opening
                                  bringing in any props and costumes that we need,
                                  filming and then editing later on to create the final
                                  piece which is due in March. We are going to plan
                                  three days where we are all available so we can film
                                  properly even though we don't really have to film
                                  much because our thriller opening is pretty simple.
                                  We need a room that will be available every time we
                                  need to film, we are just going to film in a decent
                                  sized room with a table and chair.
Risk assessment: In our thriller opening we are using equipment like scissors and needles
which if not handled properly will be very dangerous and may cause injury. So to avoid any
accidents or injuries we will have to handle these equipment with care throughout our thriller
filming. The equipment we are using to film maybe a risk throughout filming especially the
video camera, which is expensive and needs to be looked after and handled delicately. Also
the memory cards we will be using to film needs to be looked after properly so all of our
filming memory will be safe so our filming shots will be ready to edit and complete.




                       Skills audit to date: We have all learned over the past months about
                       equipment, software and blogging. The equipment we need will be a tripod,
                       video camera, microphone, maybe extra lighting and all the props we will need
                       to film. We have learned that the equipment needs to be handled with care and
                       everything needs to be remembered before we start filming so we will have
                       everything before filming so this won't waste time. We have also learned how
                       to work with the video camera so we can get the exact filming shots that we
                       need and require. The software we have used is final cut pro and sound pro
                       we have done a lot of editing on them so we are all familiar with what to do and
                       the effects and any transferring that need to be done. We have also been
                       blogging about our project, blogging is good because we have learned that it is
                       easy to keep track of what needs to be done and what has been done already.
Institutional Detail:-
Which film company would produce your movie and how would that affect PDE?

The film company that would produce our movie would be Miramax Film as they produce
well known Thrillers such as Reservoir Dogs. Other well known films are Bullets Over
Broadway and Undisputed.

Audience detail:-
Who is your target audience and what would appeal
to them about your film?

I think the target audience for our thriller film would
have to be anyone over 15 as thriller audiences are
usually set close to those age and I feel our Thriller
contains much disturbing scenes and violence which
will not be suitable for anyone below that age group.
In most Thrillers, films are set to my chosen age
group but could be set up to 18 as it all depends on
the levels of violence which some viewers may find
very challenging. Both males and females find
Thriller movies very interesting and entertaining
whereas horror contains too much violence.
