Final Film Opening

Finished 2 minute film opening:

Thud Productions

We also filmed our production company which has the theme of a ransom letter, fitting in the genre of our film. We cut out letters from newspapers to form the words Thud Productions and stuck them on a coloured board we found in the art room for a nicer background. Each word pops up with each beat of the music we found on LGFL Audio Site. We chose this song because it is catchy and although is does not really suit our genre, this does not really matter because production companies produce different genres of films and if we were a real production company, then we would too.

Changes And Improvements

After receiving audience feedback, we realised there were a few things in our opening that needed to be adjusted. For example, originally we had included a question mark after the title, however after hearing people didn't like it and researching a number of films we came to the conclusion that question marks are not used in film titles and make the title look amateur. 

We also removed a lot of the sound, as 'Laura' moves through the hallway up until the 'boot' scene the sound has been erased and replaced with the natural silence of the clips. This was to make the scene more tense and less cheesy and predictable. 

Here are the two different film openings to compare: the first in the original and the second is the improved.
