DIARY ENTRY 8

MONDAY 17TH DECEMBER 2012
We stared filming and we filmed the last scene of the title sequence because. The only scenes left to film are, the interview scene and the first clip of the actual movie. I was the one who acted in this part and filmed the phone camera scene but we used a flip camera. After talking to Jack we have decided that the newspaper i created on photoshop will be added on as an effect on logic pro because the will be no need to actaully film the news papers. I then decided that the scene we film today will not be good enough so I decided I will film it again.
These news papers showed the way the world will be destroyed and the end of the human race from only one zombie found to the world being over run by zombies.

These newspaper were created on photoshop and doing this increased my knowledge on how to use photoshop because before this project started my knowledge on photoshop was very limited.

LEANNE'S COMMENT VIDEO ON MY BLOG

There were good comments on my blog, she said that the blog was up to date but there are something on the blog that does not really need to be on the blog like audience notes because they are not relevant to the course work but I should use the knowledge of it through out the work.

She said that the zombieland analysis was really good and there was a good use of media language but I should up lines between them because when it comes on blogger it is quite difficult to notice the paragraphs. I have corrected that and I added extra lines to the title analysis for better presentation.

She said that the homework is good and the notes for the title sequence Seven is good and that it relates to the type of title sequence i'm doing. She also said that the Dawn of the Dead title sequence analysis is good and there were really good use of media language, however, I should put the lines to indicate paragraphs which I have already done.

She said to get a higher mark when I analyse a title sequence I should say how it influences my own title sequence i.e stylistic ideas or content of the sequence.

Good diary entry, however it should be be about my decisions on the title sequence and how it fits with the film industry.

20 points at this point is really good, its well organised, and of a good standard. I have corrected all the mistakes that were on the blog and I have keep the diary entry up to date.

RICHARD MORRISON

Creep is one of the 150 title sequences created by Richard Morrison. At the beginning of the film before the visuals are shown, there is a  screechy distorted sound  and a very bright yellow color is shown. It zooms into a visually  blurred scene and this creates a disturbing atmosphere in the audience.
This shows that the film will be associated with disturbing images and mentally disturbing characters because of the unstable visuals. This opening sequence is like a perspective of a character on the film, disoriented and unsettling.

The iconography in the scenes helps the audiences identify the sub-genre and helps the foreshadow what is going to happen in the film and what to expect in certain scenes in the film. The scene that zooms into the knife witch blood stains and the knife is on a table like a surgical table but it is not the typical surgical equipment so this creates enigma for the audience as to why these dangerous equipment like knife is on a surgical table. This scene foreshadows what will result in the use of the knife, but on who?
the camera then zooms onto a blood stain and the audience can see  that the blood is coming from the knife and this creates enigma as to what the knife was used for and the audience will at this point believe that the knife was not used on an animal because  of the music and the unstable visual.

The typography was written in a scratch will indicate how the characters will try to escape. The way the light goes through all the titles suggests to the audience that no one will survive.There are short scenes of a woman being tortured and blood stains on her towards the end of the sequence. the woman is in pain and a shadowed character uses the knife and bloody equipment shown at the beginning of the sequence on her and the makes to audience pity her and this suggest to the audience that  the characters will be torture and this also make them wonder the significance of a woman in the film. As the woman tries to escape she is caught and this suggest to the audience that the villan is mentally unstable and psychically strong and that the characters might not have a fair chance against him.

The name "CREEP"   at the end of the sequence and the light that went across it was like a flash light suggest to the audience that the victims in the film will be searched for but may not be found. This alos suggest to the audience that the creep may not be found.
The title sequence creates tension before the actual film starts and it introduces the themes of the film.
