PRIMARY RESEARCH

Researching into a potential target audience.

Questionnaire for target audience.

1) what do you expect to see in thriller title sequence?2) what music do you expect to hear in a thriller title sequence?3) what color schemes do you expect to see.4) what kind of shots do you expect to see?5)what kind of font do you expect to see?

I asked this questionnaire to 3 different people to try and understand what to add in my opening title sequence. I've done this as its important to include additional information i may have forgot about also to get a better judgment of opinion by using 3 different people.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT FROM RESEARCH

I have gained many skills from trying to understand filming and creating and has given me an idea of a few other shots ideas that I can use in my final Production. Also I have learnt vital skills such as adding titles to products. Also working with a camera and gaining knowledge and experience in that area that I will be able to do in my final product. So I have been able to develop greatly and improve on my original prelim and recreation. Therefore making my final production more streamlined and professional and being able to add in the right image and creating relevant themes and conventions used in professional real products.

Continuity editing is the predominant style of film editing and video editing in the post-production process of film making of narrative films and television programs. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots.

In film making, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first.

Cutting on action or matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. Although the two shots may have actually been shot hours apart from each other, cutting on action gives the impression of continuous time when watching the edited film. By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge, which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.

Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

Construction

From the information on the other slide i have been able to use many of the skills involved to create my preliminary as well as my final product . Comparing them i can see a huge difference in professionalism and consistency as my final product is improved greatly.
