Font samples

These are a few ideas and samples of fonts for our titles in our thriller piece.
The fonts used in these samples are listed below.

1] Cracked
2] Survival Horror
3] Broken Ghost
4] Distorted and Scratched

We have decided to use the third font named Broken Ghost because it has a blood stained appearance and it stands out but not to the point that it is hard to read such as Survival Horror. Font one and four seem fairly average and bland, therefore they do not give a big enough impact to the viewer.

GarageBand Music

This is a screenshot of our GarageBand-made music piece to go with our Thriller video.

It is a fairly slow yet long lasting Piano solo, which ends with an orchestra. The length of this piece of music is around 60 seconds.

Student Thriller Example - Rohypnol

Rohypnol

In Rohypnol, the camera work was deliberately unsteady to create a sense of Action & Drama.
The video was masterfully edited to further the mood of action with translucent layers and fades in a "double-vision" style.
The clip was very stylised and although there were little props, apart from the car, the dark setting presented a realistic 'thrilling' atmosphere.
The backing soundtrack was relatively eerie and fitted well with what was shown on screen. The woman's exasperated breaths also added to the atmosphere.
The titles were original, as they moved across the screen a little, although it did not fit the type of clip they made. Because some were placed at the bottom of the screen, it was as if they were subtitles which had detrimental effect on the setting.
Overall, Rohypnol was a well edited clip although there were still improvements that could have been made.

The Silence Of The Lambs

'The Silence Of The Lambs' begins with an unknown woman running through the misty woods and the viewer gets the feeling that they might be watching a victim because of the ominous setting, but suddenly we see her running on an assault course.

The viewer then realises that we are in fact watching the protagonist of the film. we also find out later as the video proceeds that the woman is an FBI agent. At one point another FBI appears and tells the woman to go the office. We see the main character pass through the HQ and see other male agents part taking in training exercises. She enters an office and witnesses some photos on the wall of previous victims of violent crimes. The viewer assumes the protagonist has some knowledge of the crimes.
