editing techniques of opening sequence

Editing Techniques: Opening sequence

Cutting on action:

When the crazy man is cleaning his tools and then hears Molly scream and walks over to pick up a rock and throw it in front of her just to make her quite and scare her.

Cut away:
Ordinary cut away; for example when the camera was panning across Molly’s characters face it cut to a different scene of the camera panning the tools that belonged to the crazy man.

Fading/ focusing:
 When the camera is filming the pin up board, which has many pictures of the character Molly. The camera focusing on to it, which is very effective because it means that the visuals of the audience will be disturbed for a few seconds.

Glitch:
Just before the title “directed by Ellie Trayling”appears theres a quick glitch on the close up of the character Molly.

Fast motion:
The speed up of the clip of when the crazy man was stroking the face of Molly to freak her out.

Audience expectations

poster analysis of our genre

Image result for the shining poster

The front cover of this drama thriller sub genre movie can suggest that the audience may expect  to see a great amount of suspense and a threat made against someones life.This a can be shown from the facial expression of the crazy man who has put his face through the large crack in the door which is also shown to of been done with an axe. As the audience we can again tell that it is a threat to someones life because of the woman who is screaming in terror.

Memento Storyboard Evaluation

My memento short clip was a reenactment of the storyboard that our peers created,in class during a lesson. In my opinion i think that the storyboard was not done to a high standard and to George and myself it was unclear how some of the scenes should be performed, therefore you will be able to see a lack of direction in our acting. Our peers storyboard only gave a main outline description of what had happened in the opening sequence, therefore the performance was not really at a high standard.

Current Thriller sub-genre films showing at the Odeon


























At the Odeon the current thriller sub-genres showing is "Deepwater Horizon", right now there is not a lot of thriller sub genres available at the cinema, from my research i have found that the more popular genre at this present time is Drama, sci-fi and fantasy. Many films are available in that category; for example, Assassins Creed, A Monster Calls and Allied starring Brad Pitt.
The thriller synopses for the Thriller sub-genre that is showing at Odeon cinema starts off using the equilibrium theory, were we see a man, wife and daughter all happily together just before the dad has to set off to work and at this point is when gradual tension starts to build, and in some thriller sub-genres we see this as a very typical thing.
In my opinion this tells me that at this time of year a thriller sub-genre may not be what people are wanting to see in cinema, therefore making it a less popular choice at this time also telling me that my audience age group would not go and see our film sub-genre in cinema now.
