This type font appeals to me because it looks like pieces of matches combined which shows danger. A thriller is a genre that create suspense tension and usually contain cliff-hangers, as I can see the mans face seems to be in the dark which leads you to think in more depth of what this could be about the font is bright and its shaped as a knife and lights up.

He loves me, he loves me not.














This is a picture from He loves me, He loves me Not.
This movie appeals to the same audience as our movie, as it's very girlie.
There's a logo used - a heart, same as we have used the peace sign in our movie.
After I read feedback on our movie, I was very pleased that people liked it and they understood everything we were trying to show.
Most of the people said that it was very girly and scary in the same time, as 'The peace was disturbed' and everyone knew that something really bad has happened.
Our movie was aimed at teenage audience mostly, we said 16-24 years old and our class got it right.

Health & safety camera tutorial


Cameras & Health and Safety
In this session we was given a tutorial on how to use a camera safely. Our task was to film someone swapping bags, but we had to use different camera techniques to create suspense and tension.Before we started filming our scene we had to learn how to safely use a camera. We learnt how to insert the memory cards and the battery. We learnt how to put the camera on the tripod. the tripod helps us to hold the camera in one place which allows you to record footage without the camera shaking. It makes you tilt or pan the camera which makes it look less sloppy and camera is kept in a bag which has padding in it

The bag helps us protect the equipment and travel lighter to go to different locations.After the tutorial of how to use the computers we had to create a story board for the sequence we were going to create. Story boards allow you to know what’s happening and the order of your sequence.

After we filmed our match cut we realised that we done many things incorrect.
We did not stick to the 180 rule and the dialogue did not match. Our dialogue did not match which made our piece not confusing and did not match the parts we edited together.

Live type & soundtrack


Skills Audit: Live type & sound track pro

Live Type and Sound Track Pro are a software programme that we are going to use after the editing of our thriller. We were given a tutorial on this software. On the right side, there is a box where it is possible to add different effects to use the text and change backgrounds and on the left you can preview your title with the effects.
We experimented with different effects on this software. We were allowed to change the angle of the letter and the font and change the direction, change to different backgrounds. However i found it challenging to use and needed help to know the correct way but soon got used to the way it was programmed. We looked at the software of sound track pro. This soft ware is for sound it has many different ranges of sound and music to choose from which included beats , vocals and instrumental. We were allowed to play around with the sound and adjust the length, the volume and extend the sound.
we could put different sound together and play them at the same time. For me this software was much easier for me to adjust to and i enjoyed how music could make such a difference.

Bait Tutorial

Technical audit of Bait tutorial
we were taught how to use the editing software bait. This is what we will be using to edit our Thriller opening. This tutorial showed us the right way to use this software, so it can be less difficult for us to edit when it comes to editing our thriller. Our task was to try to film several different clips and make them into a title sequence.
We used the MACS where you are supplied with two screens one you are able to cut the clips and the other one allowed you to watch the clips. Below these two windows there is a time line which allowed you to see different clips and add sound effects.
We also came to learn Input and Out put this allows you to pick the part you want for your finished product, for this to happen you pressed the letter i then when your are fine with it u press the letter o then you can drag it your time line. We learnt to use the Razor this tool helps us to cut the product in half then add another clip. This helps because you can go back and forward to several clips.
I found this tutorial helpful. It taught me a different kind of soft ware and helped me be prepared for my tiltle sequence.
