Evaluation

Finishing my final product i was very pleased with how it came out. I was happy with how the editing and my filming came together well and gave suspicious and thrilling effects. Finishing the media product i felt took much longer than i expected and mush more work put in also with preparation and editing. My feedback was that it gave a thrilling and suspicious affect which was exactly what i was looking for in how i put my film intro together. I also feel that giving the markers on the top and bottom of the screen gave a more cinematic film to my product also with the credits at the beginning.

Script

In my film i will have a slow zoom starting at a wide shot of the deranged killer, and the zoom will finish in a close up of his face. During the zoom there will be montage clips of the killers surroundings and quick short clips of him preparing to go out and kill for example, sharpening his knife, doing up his boots/jacket. In the background i will have the song Bela lugosi's dead by Bauhaus, I feel this song will work very well for my editing part of the filming as it has a very steady and slow beat that progresses into a guitar riff with an unsure type feel. During the zoom of the killer he will be wearing a stocking over his head so we can't quite work out and identify the killer, giving thriller type feel. In my editing i will have all background noises turned off so the music is very clear but i will only have the sound of the zip when he does up his jacket, the boots being laced up and the sharpening of the knife. When the zoom gets to the end and there is a close up of the killer's face his eyes will be closed throughout the zoom and then will open and stare into the camera with a disturbed type look in his eyes. i will have him dressed in inexpensive type clothes just dark tracksuit bottoms and a dark rain jacket, this will give a meaningful mise-en-scene as you are not likely to find a business class man who is well presented and in a suit in such a deranged type lifestyle killing.

Background music to Film Intro

on the thriller\horror films i have seen i noticed the intro music is always slow and a simple beat bringing the audience into the film gradually working its way into it, i looked at several different songs of a simple starting beat and felt this was the best to start of with by Bauhaus - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq2RXSboWMs

Analyzing the 3 film intros

Looking at each film intro separately i felt they all are great ways to start a film.
For example Se7en how the camera has been shot everything is close ups in this montage style sequence which gives you the impression that something is going on and it is focused on to the subject but we haven't got a clear view on exactly what is happening and who is doing this, this gives me a thrill type feeling as i am not clear to what is going on and want to find out.
In A Clockwork Orange i like the whole feeling of the slow zoom on the camera, i feel this gives an interesting view of what is happening and is almost revealing a picture to the audience, who are not aware of what is either side of the subject.
In Nightmare on Elm Street again i find thrilling how the film is shot yet again zoomed up so that the audience can't see what is happening, this gives a very intense view on the film yet again thrilling and would be good to use in my film intro.
