Production meeting 1

This is the opening credits to the film Se7en.
This inspired our idea, which is a hostage situation horror.

The lighting is dark to give the feeling of gloom and depression throughout the piece, close up shots show detail and keep us from the whole story, creating a feeling of sincerity. The music intensifies the action and attracts the audiences attention whilst building up tension throughout as the action builds. Selective focus issued to add mystery to the areas not in focus, making the audience intrigued. The writing used is mirrored to suggest out of the ordinary or something backward is going on. The color red is used to signify danger or death, giving the clip more impact to an audience. The other colors are dark adding to the mystery of the clip. The clip flickers like an old film this makes the clip unclear at times so that the audience cannot grasp exactly what is going on. The ammeter style of the old films suggests to the audience that the killer is ammeter. The reference to God contrast to the rest of the scene making it more intriguing for the audience. THe objects shown throughout the clip show a creepy side to the character and through a collection of objects we begin to see into his messed up world. The hands shown in the clip are light and dark, this could reflect on his personality, perhaps a good and bad side. A dutch angle is used throughout the piece this is used to show an unsteady mind, in the case of the kidnapper.

The effects used in this sequence will influence our piece. We will use the same lighting techniques to create the same atmosphere of darkness and danger. we may also use the same sound and music as the way it builds up creates tension and we hope to successfully create tension in our piece. we will use the same shots as in this aka close ups as they show detail and let the audience understand more easily know what is going on in the sequence, we will use close ups when the ransom note is being cut out, this will let the audience see the mans dirty hands portraying to them that he is a bad person.
