Planning Opening Credits- Miss Georgiou
When we being to edit our opening scene we will have to create opening credits. Opening credits within films let us know of all of the actors names who will be in the film and who the director of the film is. Opening credits are important to films as usually it will set the scene of where it will be based and ultimately prepares the audience to what may occur later on within the film. They are also important as they tell us the production name and the company in whom produced the film.
When we looked at opening credits for thriller films, we looked at the film 'Se7en'. When analysing the opening credits of se7en I looked closely at:
The editing styles used within the opening sequence of se7en includes many jerky movements. This enhances the effect to the thriller as the quick and unsteady movements of the writing makes the audience feel on edge and uneven as to what may happen throughout the film. Ultimately, we are led to believe that something bad will happen due to the jerky movements making it feel like we have only seconds until something will jump out as us or make us scared. This creates suspense and tension as we want to know what may happen and what is to come, this therefore engages the audience and makes them aware to what may happen.
The conventions of a thriller are used throughout this opening sequence often. However, the main one being low key lighting. This is used throughout the whole opening sequence and it convetnional to the thriller genre as it creates an eerie and tense atmosphere and the audience are led to think something possibly is going to happen. The lighting focuses on the main prospects what is included in the scene

When we looked at opening credits for thriller films, we looked at the film 'Se7en'. When analysing the opening credits of se7en I looked closely at:
- The colours used in the opening sequence (focusing on the colour of the credits).
- The Style of the credits
- The thriller conventions used which make it clear to the audience that they are watching a thriller.
- The order in which the roles appear on screen.

The conventions of a thriller are used throughout this opening sequence. However, the main one being low key lighting. This is used throughout the whole opening sequence and it is a highly generic convention to the thriller genre as it creates an eerie and tense atmosphere and the audience are led to think something possibly is going to happen. Also, the lighting focuses on the main prospects on what is included within the scene. This creates suspense for the audience which will engage them within the opening scene.
Within the opening scene, the colours used were conventional to the thriller genre as they all represented death, innocence and purity. The first colours noticed were grey and white. The colour white represents innocence and purity reassuring the audience that everything may be ok. Although, the grey colours could suggest that something may go wrong or that something may be coming to an end such as a life. Another colour that is used here is the colour black. Black is usually referred to as an evil, dark colour presenting something negative. Therefore black used here portrays that there will be death and sins withheld within the film. Another colour that is used, only once, is red. Red can be seen as the colour of blood and danger which represents to the audience that there may be a bloody murder involved within the film and preparing the audience for what is to come. Red also presents danger in which can portray that the film may be based around something dangerous and many dangers may occur.
Another convention used within se7en's opening scene is the use of diagetic sound, it makes the opening scene more intensifying and mysterious. It creates a more fictional yet realistic approach to the film. Sound is highly conventional to the thriller genre as it makes everything more engaging for the audience whilst increasing the audiences tension and making them more scared.
The order of titles is very simple. It introduces the opening sequence to the film whilst introducing the characters and directors to producers and camera men.
The order of the opening sequence goes as follows:
- Title and production
- Characters- Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman
- Title of the film- Se7en
- More characters
- The director
- Producers
- Company name
- Actors
- Title
- Directors (twice)
- Music Producers
- Costume Designers
- Editors
- Production team
- Camera operators
- Co-Producers
- Producer
- Written by.
As noticed, the Directors name is mentioned many times in this opening sequence as they want to inflate the importance of whom has made the film happen. The main actors were shown first to show the audience whom was in the film and inflate their importance as well as the directors.
I then looked at another films opening credits to give me more of an idea on what to include when it came to my opening sequence. The next film I analysed was Insidious, seen below, made in 2010 in which contained many conventions to a thriller. This opening sequence contained many different colours, all being very dark such as red, black, dark blue, white and grey. These colours contrast with eachother and make everything bolder and makes things stand out. The main generic conventional colours used within the opening scene are red and black. These colours connote darkness and blood, which implies to the audience something will happen throughout the film and therefore makes the audience sit on edge. These colours are effective as they are very reflective of the thriller genre and make the audience feel scared right from the beginning of the film. The red colour on the writing makes the audience think there are going to be alot of spooky scenes. However, the contrasting colour, white, suggests the innocence of the victim, whom may be murdered or injured within the film.
Another feature included in the opening scene is low key lighting. As well as being highly conventional of the thriller genre, it is effective for the opening scene of this film. It is made sure that the audience are unable to see the whole of the background, setting a mysterious atmosphere from the beginning which may carry on into the film.
The style of credits in Insidious are relitavly simmilar to the the film Se7en. It introduces the opening sequence to the film whilst introducing the characters and directors to producers and camera men.
The order goes:
- Association with- Stage 6 films
- Alliance Films
- Global Presentation
- Haunted Mones Production
- James Wan Film (director)
- Film title
- Actors
- Casting by
- Costume Design
- Music by
- Edited by
- Production Design
- Director of photography
- Co-producer
- Executive producer
- Produced by
- Written by
- Directed by
The way in which Insidious' credits are shown, is noticably different to Se7en. They have ensured that the company they are partnered with have come up before anything else. This shows their importance in the film and it allows for the audience to know who the film was created by. It then goes on to the directors and actors in which is highly as important. Unlike Se7en, Insidious includeds all the poeple in whom had an input towards the film, including the directors of photography and the costume designers.
Within my group and I's thriller sequence, we will look at our research into opening credits and use the connotations which will include the colours of red, black and white. We have decided to use these colours as we wanted to make the audience feel as if danger is about to happen, which is connotated through the colours red and black. Because of this, the audience are led to experience the three S's, Suspense, Shock and Surprise. We have planned the order of the credits carefully as we wanted to make sure that the most important people who had most input when creating the sequence would be put first. This abled the audience to see who made the film and who were partnered with for 'sponsers'. Low key lighting will also be included within the sequence to emphasise on the thriller genre and on the darkness of the thriller which will make the audience more engaged within the film.
The order of our credits will go as followed:
- Association with
- HCF Film
- Director
- Film Title
- Actors
- Costume designer
- Music by
- Edited by
- Production Design
- Co-Producer
- Executive Producer
- Written By
- Directed By
Doing this research into opening credits, it has helped us to come up with our own opening sequence order which is completed to a different standard to the others. We have made sure we have included the conventions of the thriller genre. We have also included the main elements for the opening in way that we are able to ensure everybody involved within the sequence has a mention in the opening sequence of our thriller.

AS Evaluation- Question 7
The purpose of the Preliminary task was for my group and I to begin to understand and learn how the camera, tripod and editing software worked. The purpose of doing a preliminary task was for us to use the equipment for the first time and when it came to filming, then, we were able to know how everything worked and would therefore have no troubles when it came to filming and editing our sequence. I believed that the preliminary task was very useful for me as I believe that I learned a lot, especially about the editing software and camera. I got to grips with the technology I would be using to create my sequence. I also believe that without the preliminary task, the filming and editing process would of been a much more difficult task to complete, but with my prior knowledge, it was an easy process.
When the group and I first got given the camera and the tripod, we were unsure of how to use them correctly. For example, we were unsure of how to zoom in and out on the camera. We were also unsure of how the camera attached to the tripod. In order to overcome these problems, myself and my group took it in turns to film. I was the first person to film the first part of the clip, I made sure that I was holding the camera steady and I ssuccessfully zoomed in and out. As well as making sure of these things, I used many different camera angles when filming. I did this as when it came to filming the thriller sequence, I knew how to manoeuvre the camera correctly to create different angles. I also did this to test out the different angles that we could use and then see which ones looked good and then ones that wouldn't work as well.
The tripod was the next piece of equipment that my group and I had to use within the preliminary task. When we were first given the tripod, we were all unsure of what use this would have for us when filming. Myself and my group believed that the tripod would not be needed when filming our thriller sequence. However, from the preliminary task, we understood that actually the tripod would come in great use in order to create different cinematography effects. We used the tripod in the preliminary to create a steady long shot angle. This is seen when I am sitting on the floor and Freddie Conway, one of my group members walks in past me. Because of the success this had on the preliminary task, we encorporated this angle into our final sequence. During this task, we also learnt how the camera successfully attaches to the tripod, how the tripod can be used and how to manouvre it correctly.
The final part of the preliminary task was to edit the clips we had filmed during the task. The editing software we used was Final Cut Pro X. This part of the task enabled us to see how the software worked and what had to be done to edit the clips together and make the clip run smoothly. The software at first looked hard to use, however, having time to look at it and practice on it we were able to use it successfully by the end of the task.
Overall, from the preliminary task to my final product, I feel like I have learned a lot during the process. When filming for the final product, the process of this was quick and easy as I had previous knowledge on how to use the camera. During filming, I learned a lot more about the camera I was using. I learned that you could turn the screen around, so, when you were filming yourself, you could see what you were doing. This became extremely helpful with the handheld and close-up shot of the main character running as Heather was able to see what she was doing, enabling for the frame to be successful. The next thing I learned whilst filming for the final product was about the editing software. During the preliminary task, editing was a difficult task to complete as I had never used it before. However, because of my previous knowledge I had some idea of what had to be done. I learned a lot about Final Cut Pro X when editing. The first thing was the effects that could be put over the top of the clip. I added an effect on my sequence in order to create an eerie feel as the effect darkened the film. The next thing I learned was about the sounds that could be included and also taken away from the sequence. My group and I decided to add a soundtrack over the top of the sequence in order to create an eerie and suspense building feel. We downloaded the sounds onto the computer and then imported them onto Final Cut Pro X. The next thing I learned to do was deduct sound from the sequence. I wanted only the soundtrack to play at one point of the sequence, when the character is running away. In order to do this, we had to turn down the sound from the original clip and turn the volume up of the soundtrack. I was unaware this was possible, yet, whilst editing I found many things that could be done.
I believe that the preliminary task was effective and extremely useful for my group and I as we learned the basic skills of how to film and edit and then use these skills when filming for the final product. However, looking back at the preliminary task and the final product, I feel that my skills had developed vastly.

AS Evaluation- Question 2
Within my sequence I included 3 characters throughout the scene. The first character and whom is only seen twice throughout the sequence is the boyfriend of the main character, his name is George. The main character in our clip is the innocent girl whom is home alone, her name is Heather. The final character is the killer, who kills George.
Each character within my sequence is represented differently and uniquely, each to portray different characters of everyday life.
The first character we are introduced to is the main character in my sequence is Heather, she is portrayed to be an innocent girl. This is inferred through her clothing and actions. The clothing in which she wears is her pyjamas, I decided on pyjamas I believed it portrays her innocence fully as she is unaware that something is around her, it also makes her look extremeley vulnerable. Her actions also portray her innocence. When the audience are introduced to her, she is cooking and preparing food, this is refelctive of her age and as well as her innocence and independency. I included this character in my opening scene as I believe tht she is conventional to the thriller genre and would increase the audiences awareness to the sequence. Another reason to why my group and I included her within the opening is to appeal to the targetted audience, with her being 17 years of age and the target audience being 15/16, therefore being almost te same age, it increases the realistic feel of the sequnce and the dramatic feel.
The next character included in the sequence is the killer, although being played by a girl, we dressed the girl in to boys clothing in order to present the killer as a boy. We dressed her in a baggy jumper and jogging bottoms, we did this because the stereotypical clothing that boys wear are tracksuits. Also, because of the baggy jumper, we were able to hide the girls face successfully and hide the killers identity creating a myseterious feel. Throughout the sequence we were not able to see the killers face, this creates the character to be scary and leads the audience wanting to know more about him. When thinking about certain social groups within society, this character links to them. The mysterious and uncertaincy which the character represents, links to social groups as such groups also present mystery and uncretaincy to society. Adding such a dramatic character to the sequence builds to the effect of the dramatic twist.
The last character is murdered victim. As we are not shown this character often, he has no dialogue, the audience are unable to know what his purpose is. By showing him murdered, the audience are led to believe that he must of done something wrong or upsetting in order for this to happen. My group and I included this character into the sequence to present fear to the audience. When the audience see him dead, they are led to believe that something may happen to the girl. This character also links to certain social groups.
Within our scene gender is represented in a stereotypical way. This is shown to us in many different aspects through most of the characters. The girl is shown to be oblivious to what is around her and that someone is in her house. This portrayal of the girl enhances the stereotype of girls, seen to be silly and oblivious. Again, the next stereotypical aspect of gender is shown through the killer. The killer is shown wearing a tracksuit with the hoody covering his face as we are unable to see his face. His clothing is stereotypical of boys as the clothing is associated with boys and what is typical of what they would wear.
Each character appeals to the intended audience. This is because the characters within the sequence are teenagers and the audience we have aimed the sequence is teenagers, also. Because the characters and audience are the same age, the audience can relate to the sequence and feel a sense of realisation as they are led to believe that it could happen to themselves. The rating, my group and I decided, would be a 15. The narrative in which we had decided to go with for our final sequence, allowed for the audience to build relationships with the characters. The young girl home alone relates to teenagers of her age and her gender. With her being home alone, this can relate to many teenagers as they have been in the same situation. This then builds the fear as they could believe that it may happen to them. The characters may also appeal to the audience, I believe this as the characters and the audience are the same age group and will therefore be interested and what to know more and watch the thriller. The way in which the characters are portrayed could also appeal to the audience, the intimidation of the female character makes the audience interested and will want to know more.
