Our audience really enjoyed our Thriller. They praised the unsettling music, the acting and they thought the argument at the beginning makes you empathise with the main character, so that by the time he gets kidnapped, you already care for this character.Friday, 28 February 2014

Finding Music
We found most of our music on Youtube and used a Youtube Converter to download it and import it into our film. (You can find several on the Internet.)
However, you can find other music on websites like www.mobygratis.com and www.freeplaymusic.com.
Choosing Your Font
The font used in our Ident and our Movie Title sequence came already programmed into LiveType, which is where you can create Title sequences.
However, you can find and download other fonts on websites like www.dafont.com.

Audience Research
Our Thriller is aimed at young teens and adults. I created a questionnaire where I surveyed how many young teens and adults like and watch Thriller movies and which gender like and watch Thrillers the most.
Do you like Thriller movies?
Yes: 14 young teens (8 male, 6 female), 10 adults (7 male, 3 female)
No: 6 young teens (2 male, 4 female), 3 adults (1 male, 2 female)
I don't know/Haven't watched any: 2 young teens (0 male, 2 female), 1 adult (0 male, 1 female)
This survey shows that young teens and adults commonly do like and watch Thriller movies, with young teens liking these movies slightly more than adults, and that males like and watch Thrillers more than females.

Existing Production Company Idents Analysis
Existing Production Company Idents Analysis
Miramax Films/Home Entertainment:- Known for distributing and producing independent and foreign films. It was a leading distribution/production before being bought by The Walt Disney Company for 17 years.
Their logo consists of the company name within a giant "M" for Miramax.
Its Ident Sequence in their movies consists of the logo emerging from brightly-lit city buildings (it has no signature theme tune like 20th Century Fox).
However, in one of the movies they co-distributed with Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui, the logo, after its respective Ident Sequence, then melts into an ocean where a bright beacon of light can be seen off in the distance (which is where the opening to the movie starts) while music from the movie's soundtrack plays in the background.
The Walt Disney Company/Walt Disney Pictures:- One of the "Big Six" film distribution/production companies.
The logo either consists of the company's nickname, which is simply "Disney", or it's full name at the foot of a castle.
The most recent Company Ident sequence consists of the night sky with a single bright star and then an overview of a city that zooms out and circles a giant castle with fireworks in the background until it finishes with a Long Shot of the castle, a tiny light (presumably Tinker Bell from Disney's Peter Pan) creating an an semi-circle of pixie dust over the castle and the Disney logo emerging at the foot of it. The theme tune that plays in the background is an instrumental of "When You Wish Upon A Star" from Disney's Pinocchio.
There are also several other versions of this Ident depending on the Disney movie, for example:
Pixar Animation Studios:- A CGI animation company owned by The Walt Disney Company.
The logo consists simply of the name of the company. Sometimes, it is shown next to the Disney logo, with characters from Pixar's films or the signature lamp (sometimes two lamps).
The Company Ident sequence consists of the mascot (the jumping lamp) hopping over to the "I" of the logo and jumping on it until it is squashed underfoot and the lamp looks directly at the camera.
