Font Analysis

The font that we will be using for this project is going to be simple.

This is mainly to make sure that our thriller is not over thought. So it will be like this font but possibly without as many flicks on the letters and slightly more bold to make the words seem more powerful and more overpowering.

We will possibly use this text it is called "Boris Black Bloxx". We have chosen this font because it is simple yet gives a good effect, because of the boldness and intensity of it.

Dreams of a Life - Evaluation and Film Communities

Dreams of a Life was a documentary about a women called Joyce Vincent who when found had been dead for a whole three years in her flat. It was never reported until found and no one checked on her for all of those three years.

The reason for the making of this film/ documentary was that it was showing how people are forgotten so easily. It is also trying to say. "Would anyone miss you?".

The reason we did watch this though was to see how English films are not as successful as the big budget Hollywood thrillers. We spoke and discussed the possible reason and some that arouse between people was that documentaries for isn't the types of films that is the mos popular genre in this society as much as it used to be. A lot of people want to watch thrilling and exciting thriller or very scary jump scare movies now a days.

Another reason that we thought maybe why this film had a lot of trouble getting in the cinemas was because it did not have to reputation of the films that are being made in Hollywood.

One of the best film communities in the world is in France this is because a lot of cinemas have agreed to show 70% French films this is so they can keep their film community alive however in the UK we just have mostly American block buster films and rarely are able to see a good English film anymore. We know this because Dreams of a Life was not shown in cinemas much after the release date.

Film Title Sequence Evaluation .

This film is called 8 mile. It is about a rapper in a very violent area. He is known by all of the people in the area by a low person who lives in a trailer with his mum. He is known by this because when he took part in a competition he choked and ran of the stage.

He then competes in the next competition of this and what's to gain respect. So he ends up going up against a rival rap gang that also try to force him to not show up because they know he is better than them.

The title sequence of this film is very simple it shows the actors and directors of the film. The video in the background is showing the main characters room to show the type of life he actually lives.

It shows he is very un-organized and it looks like his room is full of posters that are famous singers and rappers that he wants to grow up to be.  So the visual background is trying to how us what his life is and how music has effected his life.

The way the text appears is very simple this could be for different reasons for example its trying to show how it is a simple film that has a good simple story that is easy to follow. The effect that is used on the text is too make the title sequence flow better.

Point 3 - 10 will be going through while the Thriller is actually playing. This is so we can get as much detail in at the same time.

Paramount Ident.

This is paramount's ident they will change the music in the background to suit the type of film it is for example, if the film is sad it could be more slow and mysterious music. If it is going to be a quite happy and exciting film then the music is going to be a lot more upbeat. This has been improved over a long time as graphic features have been made better and better programs can be used to make these. For example Paramount would have probably made this ident on after effects cs6. This is one of the main editing programs used now a days.

The ident is to show the logo of the company and what represents them. Every company has one of these for example pixar use just the word pixar then a lamp jumps on top of the I to replace the I.

Past Student Thriller Analysis.

The Thriller I have choose to look at is called Independent Law. This is by the students:
Shelby-Jane Prentice,
Emma Sofianou,
Ahmed Sayed.

First Impressions by the title I would say it is probably a thriller about one person or a group of people that are going against the law for example maybe bank robbing or mugging people.

I have now watched the thriller. It is about a person who seems like they are a murderer or a cereal killer. I'm not sure if they have killed more than one person but it seemed like there was a reason behind the killing.

It could have been anything because when one of the people was killed the killer said. "You have one more chance". We do not know what he done wrong the first time or who the murderer is.

They used a good amount of techniques in the film. For example the back light when the victim is pinned in the corner. This is because we can see the killer but the person who was killed stays a mystery to us.






This was made by, Zoe Hunter, Perry Ramsey, Naima Khanom and Faustas Munikas.

My first impressions by the title are giving me the feelings that it is going to be about a stalker that follows people around at night. That they are vulnerable and alone.

Now that I have watched the thriller I now know that it was indeed about a random man following people around, but it didn't seem like the man knew what he was doing he seemed "brain dead" and maybe psychopathic.

They used a very good range of techniques for example when they were in the car and the man appeared in the mirror. Also what helped this scene to really be suspenseful was the music it builds up more and more until the final scene in the car. We have a slight hope that the women will get away but the screen goes black and the music stops this signify's that it is the end for the women and there is no chance for her.





This was made by Angela Chinnick, Rory Kennedy, Joe Barwick.

My first impression from the title is that it is going to be about someone betraying someone else. We don't exactly know the type of betrayal or why it has happens.

In this thriller it seems as if a mystery man has drug one of the boys drinks. We do not at this moment know the reason for why he has drug the persons drink but it is most likely to get revenge on them for a specific reason.

They used a good amount of shots in the video to express different moments and also the music in the background is at first upbeat and happy, but as we see the boy has been drugged and he is sat in a chair tied up it gets a lot slower and sinister.

The Manchurian Candidate Analysis

This film is about a former war veteran who does not know about his famous crew.

The story is basically about him trying to remember what happened to his crew. He remembers being in a big plain white room with his crew but he does not remember what happened after this.

Only two soldiers returned from that room one of them was Shaw he is known to have saved the platoon multiple times in combat. People think of him as a warm and kind man but deep down some people know that he is actually cold heartened.

As he starts to remember the story starts to unfold and we understand that Shaw was actually hypnotized by a man and he was ordered to kill his platoon except one of man.

These people are hypnotizing him to test if the technique actually works.

Raymond Shaw is then sent to kill a man but this man manages to stop Shaw by verbally drilling into his by saying things like. "The Queen of diamonds has no power over you". This is because when he was hypnotized he was told to worship the queen of diamonds and that is his true ruler. The man saying these things seemed to not have worked.

He was then told to carry out an assassination to kill the nominee called Robert Riordan instead of doing this he shoots his mother and father with a sniper. Then he commits suicide in front of the people who hypnotized him. He done this while wearing his badge of honor to show there plan did not work.

We didn't watch this film already the way through because it was skipped through very fast so we didn't have time to know what exactly happened. Some of this information is from the internet because there was gaps that I could not remember.

The plot twist in this film was when he killed his father and mother at the end and then committed suicide because we thought the nominee was going to be killed but all of a sudden he does not do so.
