The setting and location of our opening sequence is made to look like a prison we wanted to do this because it created mystery and make people ask why is he there? what did he do? our setting and location did this very well because of how we made look like a genuine police station mug shot setting.
Costumes and props, for our costumes we looked at stereo typical views of what someone who would commit a crime would wear we decided that the hoody best represented the thug look especially with our actor wearing the hood up which partially covers his face to make him look scarier as it made him look emotionless which creates fear. Our prop, the mug shot board was key to making the mug shot work. Without it as an audience we would not know what he was doing there so the audience would not be so inquisitive to as why he is there.
Camera work and editing, this part of the task was the most vital part of the process it alowed us to turn an ordinary shot in to something else with how we changed the lighting effect put sound in and also removed some background sounds. We could also change the order of when we filmed the shot as we filmed the scene that was closest to us meaning that if the location for the ending were to be closer we would film that first. In our camera work we used a variety of shots such as "over the shoulder" which speaks for its self and also "floating camera" which is where you hold the camera yourself which is makes the audience feel like they are in that persons shoes. We edited in music to create mood for our scenes we had to choose carefully because it can influence how the audience perceive something.
Title font and style, The title font is a very smart font that fits with the crime thriller genre as the black backdrop fits in with the gone without a sight title as black is a colour of uncertainty and disaperance. As a group we spent a long time searching through all the possible fonts on iMovie which is a film editing programme on the Apple MAC computers.
Story and how the opening sets it up, The opening of our film is where we have a phone which shows that a detective is ringing it. this is effective because a Detective is a important person so why would a detective be ringing somebodys phone without there being a problem.
Genre and how the opening suggests it, our opening suggests the genre in many different ways however i chose to discuss the scene with the kidnapper and the kidnappe in the same room because it is dark with an dark outline of the kidnappers body which may suggest to the audience that he is a bad person.
How characters are introduced,the characters in our opening scene all get introduced as how they are perceived to the audience, we first see the kidnapper when he comes around the corner wearing his stereo typical costume with the lighting being dark, he is immediately introduced as a threat to life.
special effects, The special effects used are the lighting effects these were used effectively while filming the close up of the kidnapped girl, we made the girl look like she had been kidnapped for a number of days by turning the picture into black and white, this made the make up under her eyes stand out to make her look beaten and unclean while maintaining the feeling of being in a dark cold place.
