Horror Opening Sequence Indents

The video below shows the first indent we created. this indent was really basic and needed to be improved. Yaaseen had added sound effects to make the clip more interesting and changed the smoke to fire. Our first Indent name was 'Heated Production'.

 

The video below shows our second indent we created. We decided to change the indent name from 'Heated Production' to ' Green Eyed Production' and added a few more effects to it so it is more interesting to watch.



Now that we had two indents we decided to widen our creativity and add both of them in. This was because after we added the 'Green Eyed Production' indent to our Horror Opening Sequence we had about 30 seconds left so we decided to add both in. Making these Indents were not a big hassle. They were pretty easy and quick to make.

We didn't spend much time on creating the indents because we wanted to spend more time on editing the opening sequence to make it as effective as possible. I mainly concentrated on the editing and tried to make everything so intense for the audience.

Our Indents are good but we could have spend more time adding effects and sound to it to make it look more interesting.

Film pitch

Created with Padlet

When we made our Synopsis to show what our title sequence story line will be. After we made the Synopsis, I created an account with Padlet. When i made this account, people were able to read our synopsis and posted a comment on the wall telling us what we did really well and what we could change to improve our story line and make it more effective. I have embedded our Padlet and the Synopsis.

Most of the people who commented on our Padlet told us that our story line was something that they liked, however, they also said how we can make certain aspects better and much more effective to the audience who are watching our opening title sequence. I think that the Padlet comments really helped us as our audience have told us what they would like to see. We don't want to spoil the sequence for the audience but we want to know what they would like to see to make it look more scarier.

Horror Research

In this task we had different research tasks to complete. Our group had shared the tasks evenly and all did different types of horror research. The research tasks included Iconography of horror, a timeline that shows the history of the genre and how it has changed over time. The certificate ratings shows us what we can include for certain ages. This will be helpful as we can only add a limit amount of blood and gore. Our last research was to look at the sub genres.

By doing this, It will help us to find the best target audience and what to include in our Horror sequence when we come to make it. This research will also show us how to make a sequence that is suitable for a certain age group and appeal to our target audiences. Our research will help us to know what to include and what will attract the audiences attention

I started with the certificate ratings. this allowed us to know what we was allowed to include for certain age groups. It also showed us what the audience may want to see and showed us our limits to make a horror title sequence.

Amy then went on to producing the timeline. This showed our group how our certain target audience have changed throughout the years and what they now find appealing.

Yaaseen then went on to making the Iconography of horror. This research was very helpful as it would show us what props and costumes we will need to include for our sequence. It also showed us how effective each prop can be and what effect it has on the audience.

Finally, Yaaseen also did the sub genres of horror. This will help us as a group as our questionnaire will let us know which one is more popular and we will then base our horror on the most popular sub genre. This will be good as it will be what our audience wants and what they prefer.
