Animatic group feedback

• The class liked how we incorporated the titles and names into the sequence and thought it looked professional.
• They also liked the motion of the animatic and the way the camera zoomed in and panned onto different points of focus in the picture.
  
• The class suggested that we could incorporate different focuses in the clip which would reflect on the actual title of the film.
• The class described how the pictures were detailed and how easy it was to understand what is happening.
  
• Everyone suggested that a sound track is key, for the animatic set the atmosphere.
• Also the theme was represented well by zooming in on the pictures on the wall, this showed the state of the character and gives an insight to his state of mind.
  

Animatic storyboard completed

Our animatic storyboard is now completed however we have run out of time to upload sound to the video. If we had upload sound though it would of been dark tense music which would of had you on the edge of your seat and be wanting to know what was going to happen next. The next time we are making an animatic story board. We now know we need to manage our time better and we will take this into consideration when filming.

Analysis of Se7en title sequence

The title sequence of se7en starts of with a unknown man in his bed, he then switches on a device which starts ticking. This makes the audience feel uneasy because it makes use feel like it is counting down to something. This could make the viewer feel that he is possibleing going to be murdered, because sterotipicly murders happen at night when people are alown.
The scene then switches to another unknown person that we don't see. This character is shown to be very disterbed by showning him cut of skin of a dead persons hand with a razor blade.we then see that this person is writing something in a book, this razors question for the view and makes use want to know what the person's writing, and why is it so important?
We then realise that this person is creating something but what? This again draws the auidence in more as they want to find out more about what the person is creating and why. The audience then feel a sence of uneasyness as we start so see lots of disturbing images, which could tell use that the person isn't right in the head and that he/she is someone to be feared.
Finally the music throughout this scene is important because it makes the audience feel even more uneasy and has them on the end of the seat throught because the music makes use feel like it is building up to something.

Our idea for our thriller title sequence.

We have decided to set our thriller around missing and murdered teenage girls. We will open the sequence with a man in an apartment/photo development room. The audience will then see lots of photos of girls that have gone missing and have been murdered we would like to have a computer with lots of different windows and tabs to social networking sites and messaging sites with the 'villain' talking to teenage girls. The scene will then switch to a police station to show the investigation. You will then see pictures and newspaper articles over the walls of the people that have been murdered.
We want lots of short duration shots to set the mood and build up tension.
The setting also needs to be dark to set a spooky and mysterious atmosphere.
