2. Title-True Colours Explaining the title True colours comes across as quite positive as not typically title that seems to be related to the thriller genre However this was deliberate as it challenges the audiences connotations of the film. The don’t really know what to expect. The title conveys the storyline in that these paintings come true though its still implicit in showing the horror of it all being that its destroying her life rather than enlightening

4. This would be an important part of the mis en scene In connoting clues of her being watched and the fact that the audience are given This shot was an overview of the paintings which because it was quite close up it would then help to relate it to what can be seen at the start when shes walking to the house as the mis en scene is the same it can be compared and therefore this connotes the idea that what the pictures show is going to happen. This was a match on action where when she opens the door the shot continues to the room of her opening It. This is part of the continuity in that though there is fragmented editing this is continuity The camera angel in this shot was a low angel to make her look weak in the situation and as she is unable to control her actions This shot was intended to create a build of to the climax. By having a freeze frame It emphasises the moment and builds the tension to its highest peak This shot was framed particularly to create the idea of her being vulnerable and the narrowness of the shot connotes her isolation in this unfamiliar area. Part 4

5. This challenges the stereotypical connotations of a thriller as It is in the daylight and thriller are usually shown to be in dark areas. Though this was to make it even more abstract in that there is an emphasis on the shadow which is a clue to the audience that there is another character but they are disguised at that particular moment, whether or not they will find out who this person is will only depend on whether or not they continue to watch it. This type of reverse shot is typically used in supernatural type of films and therefore it connotes this sub genre. Also as this is one of the many shots we included The typeography indicates the thriller genre quite clearly through the colour red as this is significant as it is polysemic it has many different representations as a colour. It can symbolise good/bad and therefore it is to the audiences interpretation though the way the letters are presented in paint letters quite precisely in an eerie manner it gives the audience the idea that Part 5

7. Some of the technology we used : This was effective as we used it for the titles in making them be presented in a way which it represented that it was a thriller rather than it just appearing simply. When it came to editing we did try out garage band even though we didn’t actually create our own music we did upload sounds and overlap the sounds to see how it would sound. As for the audience feedback I uploaded true colours and received quite good feedback which as well as reaching to people on youtube it created good word of mouth especially from my fellow peers. Also I used flickr to upload screen grabs of the sequence which also enables audience responses. This software was extremely useful as it allowed us to use the font that was available on the font website to paint out the letters when it was presented as the titles. This was used to edit the opening sequence it was a successful technology as it allowed us to add effects and select which shots we wanted to use Micro media Flash Garage band YouTube & Flickr Fireworks Mac& I Movie Post Production Used when filming the shots of true colours. The tripod was vital as it helped to take still shots rather than making it look hand held Though we had the camera to film having the mobile phone to use was help as well as it enabled us to record the shadow part when it came precisely when the sun came out rather than having to carry the tripod. The mobile phone camera was much more easier to use. Digital Camera & Tripod Mobile Phone Camera Production Used to create painting effect on phtotos for props –yes it was effective as we used it Though we didn’t actually use the foley sound that we recorded it was useful in that we were able to try out different sounds Photoshop Microphone Usb Pre Production Why was it used and was it effective? Technology & Example

8. Part 7- Technology used for Audience Feedback This is my media class when they just then they had finished watching True Colours just giving us their feedback on what they thought. The technology we used at this point was the flip camera which was actually where they were looking when responding to out questions which you can see when you click on the link to survey monkey As we broadcasted our opening sequence on YouTube we’ve been able to receive comments on it which have come in handy for evaluating on whether or not it reached out to the intended audiences and if they found it appealing. Now that we’ve finished creating it what is the outcome? Overall as you will be able to see in the video I would say it is positive feedback

9. Part 7-Technology I used Props-This website helped us to use the format of a newspaper to create our props for when Honey enters the house. This was useful as it was easy to use and it didn’t take too much time whereas starting from scratch to make it would be more time consuming I used YouTube to broadcast true colours Not only was this useful in trying to reach out to audiences we received lots of feedback as well through word of mouth. The technology we used to create the titles for puzzled productions was flash. This software was useful as it enabled us to customize the title so that It appeared in paint letters as well as the away it was presented to connote that it was a thriller.

10. Part 7-Technology used for Research Survey Monkey We used this website to assess peoples views of a thriller. It was very useful as it allowed me to include open and closed questions. Therefore I was able to gain subjective as well as objective responses. IMBD Furthermore I went on imbd to research more about thrillers and common sub genres of a thriller which I came to find many had supernatural,horror,mystery and drama. Though in order to narrow this preference down I decided to conduct a survey to find which two were the most common

11. Photo bucket When creating character profiles for the two characters in true colours I used photo bucket. This was useful in allowing me customise it the way I wanted to. Also during the production of true colours when it came to editing the titles it wasn’t until after I found I could use this and so if I were to improve it I would use to this to add more effects to the titles. http://www.freesound.org / We used freesoundsproject in finding our sounds for true colours yet we did try changing it to fit different parts of the sequence through using garage band. Part 7- Technology used for post production Sounds we used for true colours Click on to listen to sound Fireworks -This software was used to add effects to the logo for the production company puzzled productions. This was useful as it consisted of the various tools to change the logo to the way we wanted it to appear in the beginning of the opening sequence.
