Gwynyth De Vera

• Our media product is the typical good guy and bad guy concept, this is

shown through the clothes they wear and the lighting that we use.

TITLE

• The title that we used gives that really

eerie and mysterious atmosphere and

raises questions such as “Who’s the

devil?” or “Who’s the defendant?” and the

opening would answer just that.

• We also made the title black font over

white to white font over black, which

shows a switch in the roles and could be

interpreted as yin and yang.

CLOTHING

• Abdul (Adam White) wearing smart attire, such as shirt and tie, shows that

he’s the protagonist of the film, holding more authority than the antagonist.

LIGHTING

• Tahir (Michael Kramer)on the other hand, we put him in a dark place, lower

on the ground presenting his inferiority.

He’s seen doing

sit-ups to appear

more masculine.

• In the beginning, we thought it would be best if our media product is

distributed in a Mainstream label such as Universal.

• As to why, it’s because mainstream thriller films have similar plots and plot

twists.

• Another reason why is because of our titling sequence. Mainstream title

sequences would usually place the actor/actress’ name(s) at the centre

highlighting their importance and to target the audience.

I assume that the audience that would be suitable to watch the film would be

in the years 15+ because it will contain violence and possible profanity which

would be unsuitable for younger ages.

I also think that it would attract those who have a strong interest in plot

twists, crime, detective and psychological films – which our film seems to

have.

As stated on the bottom line, we tried not to give away everything in the

opening sequence as it defeats the purpose of what the audience wants

making it unappealing, we ompleted this by:

PROPS

• The props we used represented

Adam well, through him having a

picture frame of his 2 daughters.

Illustrates that he has a ordinary life

and the responsibilities he carries.

• For Michael, we made sure that he

remains a mystery to the

audience, so we tried to make every

little information unidentifiable

allowing the audience to ponder on

what he would be like.

• Handling the technology to produce our media product was very difficult.

What I found the hardest had to be After Effects.

I found it confusing and rendering

had to be the worst, but in the

end, I was glad I managed to

complete what I had to do.

• A main factor is that without camera

recorders, our media product wouldn’t

have existed. So technology development

made it a lot easier and advanced from the

past where Linear Editing was used

instead of iMovie.

• Personally I think that making the titles were my biggest accomplishment in

the editing of the film.

• After effects was really hard to do, yet I tried to make it link to our thriller in a

way, this is due to the titles horizontally blurring, being clear and then fading

out.

Due to the title sequence having a black background with a

white font, it’s commonly found in mainstream openings.
