PRELIMINARY TASK

This is the unrefined Version of the Video: 

We did this on a afternoon to get used to the camera, teamwork with the other media studies students, software, cutting and editing. 

ORDER OF TITLE`s

Order of the titles in the opening scene. This helps us to create the right order for our own thriller.
So, I analyzed the opening scene of signs.

1) 0:03sec - Label that presents the film
2) 0: 10sec - Business that Produced the film
3) 0:17sec - The first actor is shown, who is the main actor
4) 0:23sec - The second actor is shown
5) 0:29sec - The name of the film
6) until her - 0:44sec - other actors
7) 0:45sec - casting by..
8) 0:51sec - Music by
9) 0:59sec - Visual effects Supervision
10) 1:04sec - Costume Designer
11) 1:10sec - Edited by
12) 1:15sec - Production Designer
13) 1:20sec - Director of Photography
14) 1:25sec - Executive Producer
15) 1:30sec - Produced by person X and Y
16) 1:35sec - written, produced and directed by..

I recognized that between most of the titles have a gap of 5sec between each others.

This relies to my first point. 

Idea

with Marcel Lex

My Ideas of my Thriller

My first ideas of my thriller were that i want to do a thriller, which is placed in between the subgenre Action and Horror. So on one hand it has to deal with powerfull and quick action and on the other hand it should be suspensfull with scary sound and darker colours.
Therefore i thought about a scene, happening in the evening, because it should be dark. Furthermore there is a victim, which is being chased, maybe through the forest or dark streets in a city. The victim might be male or female and it is on his way back home from work. So firstly you see the victim leaves the work, then it recognises that it is followed by someone, but does not react. After a while then it will notice that he is still behind her and starts to react in form of walking faster until she does actually run. Then there a close-up on the "killer", but not his face, only maybe his hand, where he holds a knife or something else. Then the action begins, maybe a run scene through the city or the forest. While that action, there must be an increase of tension, so therefore it should be in a dark environment and the camera should not really focus the exact action. It should rather switch every half a second between the killer and his knife, the victim and maybe teh facial expression of the vivtim, but just maybe. While the whole scene, the sound is very important. It should make the audience feel scared or not safe. So therefore you will hear the victim breathing and the definately running of the two people, like you hear the sound of their jackets when they run. Also maybe some traffic sounds at the background.

RESULTS of Questinnaire

We interviewed 10 people and now I present the results of our Questionnaire to find our potential target audience. Their will be a Video of one of the Interviews, as well.

(http://florianberberichasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/potential-target-audience-questionnaire.html) to remind you on the Question of the survey

1) 30% of the person answered that the like crime thriller ( Blue Area), 30% said they like action Thriller ( Red Area) and the most of the people prefered the sub-genre of psychological thriller ( Green Area). 

2) Most of the audience liked thriller and suspense ( 60%) in the blue area. The 40%, who don´t like tension in a thriller film where four girls out of the 10 persons. So, 4/5 girls akes say the dont really like this kind of device. 

3) 70% of the people asked said that the really fancy thriller film ( Blue Area), 20% the like these sort of films, but it is not their favorite ( Red Area). The last 10% are splitted into to 5% areas, the first 5% said the hate Thriller and the other 5% said the are not sure what thriller films are ( Green and Purple Areas).

4) The interresting thing in this question is that all answers of all 10 person included all the two names: Hitchcook, Spielberg. 

Other common names were Terentino and Nolan. 

5) This is again similar to question 4 many different answers, but some common names like Liam Neeson, Leonardi DiCaprio, Russel Crow and Jason Statham. 

6) Most of them answered this question with Gangster Squad, Psycho from Hitchcook and The Grey. This was the case, because I asked these question in my boarding-house and we watched these films recently with the whole house. 

7) In This question 3/10 said the prefer Pyschological (30% Red Area), 3/10 said the like Action ( 30% Blue Area). This is followed by 2/10 ( 20% in the turquoise), 1/10 were for Historical and Religious ( 10% Purple and Green). Nobody voted for Supernatural Thriller. 

8) This question, had a really clear result. 90% (Blue Area)  answered with "YES" a opening scene is really important. Only a single person said no they don´t really care about a good opening scene. Consequently, the rated the importance of a opening scene with 10 out of 10. 

9) 40%( Red Area)  said the like violence and crime in a thriller, because the thought is is needed for a good thriller. 40% ( Blue Area ) said the complete oppesite, again mailny the girls disaggred with this statement. 20% ( Green Area) said they don´t mind if there is violence or not.
