Blooper Take 2


Bloopers which occurred during the filming process

Inspiration For Film Opening

Seeing as our film opening is based on a psychological rom,ance thriller . These are some films that have inspired me to do mine . From the way they open to the way how they plot the storyline. Seven (1995) was inspiring to me as the opening of the title sequence was really in detail making it very interesting to watch.

Teacher Feedback

Hello group 16
It's been a while since you blogger - don't forget that we need to see what you are doing when you are filming and editing your thriller: photos from the filming sessions, vlogs of what's gone well and what needs to be improved, and screen shots of the editing process.  The blog is looking good but it can be even better.

Different types of film openings

There are many types of film openings
  • Discrete title sequence.
  • Titles over a blank screen which is then followed by a narrative opening.
  • A narrative opening, which has titles running throughout it.
  • A stylised edited opening





Seven (Or se7en) is an example of a discrete opening. It shows all the credits, and gives away very little information about the film. For example, you can't tell who the character is, where the location is, etc. There is also a few special effects used, such as the fading of characters names when they come up.

A stylised film opening involves more information about the film. For example, The Taking Of Pelham 123 shows trains and a quick tempo. This shows that the film will be at a fast moving pace and something involving  trains, which already gives the audience an idea of what could happen.

Thriller target audiences

Thriller films will be mainly aimed at a younger audience, preferably ages 14-35. It's aimed at those ages because, they believe it's more suitable for their taste in exhilarating films etc. It's also slightly aimed at young men despite not having a gender preference.

Inspiring Film Openings

Panic Room-
Panic Room has inspired my group to portray our film opening in a sililar way, as it starts with an establishing shot which reaveals the locatin. In the same way as our film opening, this film takes place n the city which is reaveaed by all the buildings. Our group is planning on starting the film by filming the city from on top of a bulding looking down at the city, we are then going to pan up the building we choose for our office to be in which will establish the location of our film.
