Finished Opening Sequence
Finally, the thriller opening is complete. It has all reach an end... for now. I hope you have enjoyed, as much as I have, each step of making this opening sequence. It's sad that this project is complete but it just means that there is time for another. So I do hope you enjoy and share the opening sequence to my first ever thriller opening: 'Obsession'.

Evaluation - Question 7
Looking back on your preliminary task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
Looking back on the preliminary task, it becomes evident that I have learnt a tremendous amount more about how to create a film opening than I did at the beginning of the year. Now I understand the different stages of creating a film products.
The preliminary task involved filming and editing someone walking across a room, walking up stairs, opening a door and sitting opposite someone else for a short conversation. The task included different angled shots including shot reverse shot, 180 degree angle and match on action. The only sounds used where diegetic sounds and the camera wasn't always steady as it was handheld. Also, there was no special effects included into this clip.

On the other hand, when it came to creating the thriller opening sequence there was a lot more to be done. Titles, music/audio, lighting, props, costumes, actors, location, editing and effects all needed to be added to create an effective thriller, most of which were new to me as I had not used them in my preliminary task or anywhere else previously.
Most of the shots in my preliminary task were either long shots or medium shots, while my thriller consisted the majority of the time by close and extreme close ups, followed by middle shots.

Evaluation - Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
From the beginning of constructing my thriller opening, I have been learning to use a range of new technologies that I hadn't even heard of before. Some proved to be more of an advantage than others. I needed to go through different stages in the constructing of my product and each stage required different technologies. Check them out!

Evaluation - Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media project and why?
Entertainment One is one of the premier names in
independent film distribution in the UK and Ireland. This means they
would have the means and money to successfully distribute my film,
Obsession. Furthermore, as they have a distribution deal with
Universal Pictures, which is one of the Big Six, it would be more
likely to have help from them than a company not in partnership.
Entertainment One also owns or has a third party content to 3,000
retail partners through its networks across Canada and the U.S.
Therefore, there is a much larger distribution service to help my
film.
After researching the different media institutions
that would possibly distribute my media project, I have decided that
the most likely company would be Entertainment One, also known as
eOne.

independent film distribution in the UK and Ireland. This means they
would have the means and money to successfully distribute my film,

retail partners through its networks across Canada and the U.S.
Therefore, there is a much larger distribution service to help my
film.
Entertainment One would be ideal when distributing
my film as they have in addition worked on distributed thriller films
which have gone on to have sequels, such as 'Insidious' and 'Woman in
Black'. Another successful film that they have released is 'The
King's Speech', a British independent films such as my own.
My thriller film wouldn’t require an enormous
budget as the actors would have to be unknown to the audience to make
it more believable. It could also be shot in public areas for
authenticity, however this will be part of the cost due to the rights
to film in the locations.
In my thriller opening I have used my 'Frightmare Productions' logo. However, if eOne were to distribute my film then their name would also be among the titles. Frightmare Productions would market the film through viral
marketing as people would not have heard about my film. On the other
hand, with the help of Entertainment One, my film could also be advertise in theatres as people would be
familiarised with the name Entertainment One, or Universal if they are also
involved, and would therefore be more willing to go watch it as it would have grasped their attention.
