Task 15: Company logo

I started with a clear, hd image of a gear symbol. I then duplicated the image, removed the background and filled it in white.  I then edited  the logo on Motion,...

Task 9: Casting Shots

For our casting shots, we chose to create 2 or 3 shots that reflected the thriller genre. In order to make them appear professional we took several shots and angles to give us a better idea of our characters. For example, the character Kali played by Annabel was instructed to channel her soft and shy side for the images whereas for Damien and Lilith's characters, we wanted...

This has influenced our approach to our opening sequence as now we are sure that our opening will focus heavily on the thriller aspects.

Task 7: Target audience and research

Below is the survey created in order to help us see what kind of age, gender and audience we had to aim for in our opening sequence. Initially we thought that our genre and film would no appeal to anyone under the age of 16 as the opening deals with adult themes such as murder, unlike films like Hot fuzz that also contain an element of comic relief. I also looked at IMDB...

Task 6: 25 word pitch

How did we create our 25 word pitch? We created this 25 words poster on photoshop whilst gaining inspiration from thriller posters such as the movie 'Red' and an alternate poster for 'Leon'.
