Final Institution Logo

Final Institution Logo

 

 

This was what we decided to have as our final logo. The reason for the choice was because this was a very simplistic but effective logo which really portrayed the Thriller theme. Also this logo is really bold and clear which clearly stated what the film is called and what it could potential cooperate.

Institution Logo Designs For My Film - The Chase

Institution Logo Designs For My Film

 

I decided to create several different logos for our film incorporating 'The Chase' name. Through the use of researching different logo's I discovered that most thriller logo's where simple and in black and white which impacted the way in which I created the logo's.

Art Of Film Titles

The use of the text se7en  is  very bold and has a 3d effect which is instantly  eye catching and grasp the audiences attention. Its presented with very dark contrasting colours which helps shows the important that sev7en might have on the film. These colours and use of the 3D help to give a sense of mystery and unknowing which is highly linked with thriller.

Similarly to the Se7en logo the Inception logo is also in black and white. Contrastingly there is a large bold font but this time the font is primarily black with a shade of white and grey. The 2 dark smudged marks above and below Inception are used to represent the effect of a gun shot. This indicates that there will be some sort of action or fighting throughout this film.



This logo for the film psycho is very simple but effective as it bold and is instantly related towards the film. It has small breaks within the letters which creates a aggressive, broken and almost not all there effect which is represents the conatations of the word psycho.

The Chase Draft #1

The Chase Draft #1 

Here is our first draft of our film the chase which we received feedback on and as a group we went back and reedited it to make the film have a better thriller feel throughout it.

Production Diary 15

As we started to editing we shortly realised that we needed to make a clear change to our film. This change was simply changing the colour scheme to black and white instead of colour. This in turn had a huge impact throughout the film and really added to the Thriller feel. From this we decided to put some thriller style music onto the film which added a lot suspense and tension throughout the film. We then as a group decided to put some voice overs to enhance the key moments further.

Audience Expectations

Audience Expectations

A target audience expects a highly intense, suspense, a high level of anticipation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension. These are key conventions of what most successful thriller films consist of and what audiences initially expect to see. The target audience wants to see at least one clear plot twist within the film and they want to be in the unknowing through most of it. Through secondary research I have identify that audience expect a strong start and they want to be on their edge of their seats with them not knowing what’s going to happen next. Through the primary research that we already conducted we understood that music was a hugely important element of a thriller film and the audience find a clear relationship between a thriller and its music. Key Characters in thrillers that audience expect to see are convicts, criminals, stalkers, assassins, down-on-their-luck losers, innocent victims.

Filming Test Shots

Filming Test Shots

Me and my group member Wilson filmed some test shots before we filmed our film to help give us a better understanding of the shots that we wanted to include. It also helped us to identify the specific shots that we wanted to include and it gave us a better understanding of the effective that it would have on our target audience. Also by having these shots we could do some practise editing so we could get a understanding of the effects and editing techniques which we wanted to have in our production. By conducting these practise shots it has given our group a advantage so that we will know what is needed for our production.

Scouting Locations

Scouting Locations
Before we decided to create our story arch's as a group when had a idea of the main locations which we wanted to film in. These where Brentwood High  Street and the Woods near Shenfield Common. We went and scanned around Brentwood High Street first to get some ideas of specific places that we waned to film in and places where we could use certain shots. From this it gave us a much better view of sequence and how we can use the location to have a strong effect amongst our target audience. The concept of actually using Brentwood High Street was as it very busy it helped to add the mystery behind who the chaser actually is as there was so many people about. We next scanned our next key location which was the Woods near Shenfield common and there we identified certain spots that we wanted to film from. We also scanned the location for potential hazards and risks that we could encounter when we where going to film.
