Moby Gratis Approval;

We received an email back from Moby gratis and they approved for us to use the two pieces of music. 

Name of our Thriller;

When first deciding on our name for the thriller, we were thinking of a name to do with revenge, e.g. sweetest revenge. However we began to think of the story line and Georgia suggested the name 'love hurts' as he wants to seek revenge on the one he loves but she no longer love him back. 
Our final decision was to call it 'You're Mine'.

Moby Gratis;

Today my partner Georgia and I requested two songs for our Thriller on mobygratis.com. One of these songs seemed to fit the whole of our video, and the other song sounded as if it would fit credits well. We are now waiting for the confirmation of the licence.   

Our Ident;

This video is the final idea of our Ident, as we were unable to load the garage band music onto it we uploaded it to YouTube and used a piece of music that YouTube provided.

location research;

 The following images are of a location that we are going to use for our thriller;

Soviet Montage;

Soviet montage is when two different images/ clips are shown when they have no link whatsoever, but as they are shown together between eachother it makes the audience link the two things together and decide what has just happened.
A great example of this is in Hitchcock's Psyco. Which shows clips of the main character screeming in the shower and clips of the knife but no clips of her being stabbed by the knife but the audience figure out themselves that she is being stabbed.

Organisation of the group;

As there is only two people in our group it is very simple to keep in organisation with each other, the hardest bit was to organise times with the actors, as they are not always free.

Garageband;

This is a screenshot of when we used garageband to create our background music for our Ident. We created this with different tunes/melodies that were given by garageband, we also used different instruments to create a better piece of music.

Livetype;

This image is a screenshot of our ident on livetype. We added a background, Production company name, and an animation for the name. However we are in need of background music that we will make using garageband.

Photoshop;

This image is a screen shot of attempting our robot on photoshop. However this came with great difficulty as my partner and I both have not had a lot of experience with photoshop. As of this we left our photoshop robot and made two images at home with the paint accessory on a windows computer.

making our Ident;

We had many ideas for our Production company's Ident. Firstly we thought of filming a cat (pet) meowing, and putting it into something like a ring, which is alike to MGM's (Metro Goldwyn Mayer) roaring lion.


However we felt that this was too complicated for the time in which we have. Following from this we thought of creating our own icon on photoshop, we decided on a robot. After halfway through making this robot we thought that we could have the robot doing a robot dance. So we made two images of a robot in different positions, and put them together using final cut express. This was the following outcome;  
We decided that it just didn't look right and wanted to have the clips pass by quicker. This however did not seem possible therefore we decided to leave this idea and come up with a much simpler piece using LiveType.

Graphic Match;

In our thriller, we have decided to add quite a few graphic matches, to change from one clip to another. A graphic match is something that links two clips together by a object in each clip resembling eachother in shape and size. It seems as if the objects merge into each other. This keeps a smoothly running transition.

The following image is and example of a graphic match. The objects that resemble as you should see are the bone and the space station.

Lighting experiments;

The following image shows are experiment of low and under lighting;



This image may be useful experiments for our thriller as it does not give away alot of identity and give a spooky effect.

Panic Room;

The title sequence of Panic room i feel stands out. I think this because the font of the names are big and bold giving the names more attention. Another thing that draws more attention to the names is the simple background shots, which are long shots of the city in which the film is set. Finally this title sequence stands out as the backing track is deep and solumn to begin with and gradually gets faster with an added ticking noise, giving tension and suspence.

Se7en

Seven.jpeg
I think that the title sequence for se7en is also very effective, for many reasons. Firstly the background music seems very chilling and spine tingling. It also shows the names in a font that seems to be 'scratched in', giving more of an thrilling effect. Finally i feel that the footage it is showing has somewhat of a creepy effect to it as it shows some sort of planning of a crime or a series of crimes.
