Analysis of sound effects chosen

Analysis of sound effects chosen

The sound effect that we chose was the effect of a magnetic pull attracting things. This was because it gave the title a dramatic way of introducing itself. There were three other sound effects that we could have chose from but we went with the first one.  We chose this as we thought that it could match the action of the title. We wanted the title to be introduced by starting slow and speeding up to give it a really sharp look. The sound effect matches the action which made it more realistic and effective. Whilst making our title, we wanted it to appear small, but then enlarge itself to the foreground and in time with the effect. As I was editing this I made the title appear with the movement of the sound effect, this gave our title sequence so much more emphasis as it wasnt just plain and boring. The effect gave our title sequence the effect of a weapon being thrown towards the screen. To make the title sequence alot more effective we added in an effect of smoke that could support the title. The smoke fades in and begins to fade out as the movie starts. In the end we came to a conclusion on using this sound effect, in which it turned out very successful.

 

Making Our Ident

Making Our Ident

We spent very long on our Ident to make sure that it is engaging and it is as good as the studio Idents. We thought about the name wisely and we came up with a name that would relate to the Media industry. In this case we came up with the name 'Ellipsis Productions'.
We then went on looking for music. We wanted to be unique with the music and give our ident an unordinary sound. We used an instrumental that had an unusual sound which was very different to all of the other studio idents. 

The picture to the right is the first editing process of our ident. It included the music that we chose and it included presenting titles. The presenting titles that were included was the Production Company and the director. The ident included a picture of New York city of which we wanted our film to be set. Our production company name is then introduced as it comes in as it is being written and then fades out altogether. The music goes along with the film throughout.



The picture underneath is the final editing process of our ident. We did not change the way that the Production Company was introduced or the music. However we changed the way how the titles were presented. We listened carefully to the music and on every dramatic particular beat, a new title would occur. This gave the titles a really good effect as it moved with the music. The titles were then made to fade out as the new title would appear on the beat of the music. As the music started to fade out towards the end of the titles, the titles would also fade out with it. The rest of the titles would be added to the beginning scene of our thriller.  These effects really improved our ident and titles as it made it look more dramatic and more intriguing.  

The clip underneath is the final Ident and titles shown as a clip. This ident would be added to the beginning of our film to introduce the production company along with the begingining of our titles.

Format Of Titles

Format Of Titles

Whilst planning our film, we also had to create an ident. An ident is a logo which presents the movie company in which it is shown before any movie begins. As I am producing the opening scene to a thriller, this means that I will have to produce an ident too. The name of the production company we came up with was called Dice Productions. However, we did not really think this was unique and it may have been used before. Because of this we came up of a Company called Ellipsis Productions. 

After the ident has been introduced, the Production Company then present the film. In our case, would be shown as " Ellipsis Productions Presents". However it does not go straight to the title of the film. It goes straight onto " A film by *director*". So for our ident it would show up as " A film by Bleona Iliazi and Lizzie Grant" 

For our ident we wanted to add the credits onto the first scene of the film. This is because we thought it would look more exciting if something tense was to be shown on the first scene. The credits that will be shown (in order) will be main Male actors-(Michael and Bradley), main Female actors-(Aleksija), more actors,  Editor-(Lizzie Grant), Cinematography-(Andrew Faulkner), Screenplay and Music-(Bleona Iliazi), Producer-(Lizzie Grant) , Director-(Bleona Iliazi). This will all come up one by one once the first scene of the film is being played. 

The title of the film "The Game" will then show up at the end of this which will then lead to the next scene which will be set in the casino.
