Reasearch: Opening credits & Typography
Reasearch on opening credits:
What are opening credits?
Opening credits are shown at the very beginning and list the most important members of the production. They are usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show. There may or may not be accompanying music.
What is their purpose and what do they provide?
Opening are used to show the audience an idea of what the film they are going to watch is going to be like this can be shown by typography used and music used in the opening credits also it is used to show the audience the most important poeple to do with the movie they are going to watch their order of importance is shown by the order their names appear in the opening the order is usualy production, actors,casting, music, costume, editing, producer and dierector.
How do opening credits make the audience feel?
Depending on the type of film you going to watch the opening credits can make you feel different ways for example if you are going to watch a thriller the goal would be to make the audience feel on edge and uncomfertable from the start of the film.
Thriller opening credits analysis:
In the opening credits of se7en they use dark lighting and colour is used throughout the opening credits low key lighting is used to make the audience feel on edge an uncomfertable throughout the opening also the colour red is used throughout the opening by the use of red filters and red blood splatter on the book pages in the opening this is used to show that the film will have lots of blood and gore throughout and also helps to give a uneasy feeling for the audience at the beging of the film. This conventional to thrillers because the goal of a thriller is to create an uneasy scary atmosphere for the audience
Also the slow eery music used makes an uneasy atmosphere as the scratching sounds and radio tuning sounds make the audience feel uncomfertable and uneasy because they are strange and anoying noises for the audience to hear. This conventional to thriller movies because thriller want the audience to feel uncomfertable this makes them feel uncomefertable from the begining of the movie.
Conclusion:
In my opening credits i will be using the order of importance and i will want to also make the audience feel uneasy and uncomfertable like the opening credits of se7en as they are very affective and make the audience uneasy from the begining of the movie.
Reasearch on Typography:
What is typography:
Typography is how writing is presented to the audience through font, style, size, letter case and colour in film.
Typography and its connotations:
Action: These are the opening credits to expendables big bold thick style of lettering is used to give as an uderstanding that the film is going to have alot of action related content also the font i quiet big with an army style to the lettering this gives us the idea that there will be alot of action in the film.
What typography i want to use:in my thriller film i want to use the scratchy typography used in se7en examples of this are in the opening credits above i want to use this typography because it is good for making the audience feel uncomefertable and gives the opening credits a eery feeling for the audience. i will also want my typography to quiet small but big enough to be able to be read by the audience the colour i will use will be white becuase our film will be quite dark so this will make the writing stand out for the audience.
Reasearch: Age Certificates
Reasearch on Age Certificates:
What is the role of the BBFC and why are they important to the film industry?
The BBFC are the board in britain which decide which films are aloud to be realiesed in the uk they decide if a film needs to be censored, scenes need cut or if the film needs to be completely banned the BBFC is important because they help to keep people safe from from things would not want to see or there children to see when watching a film they are the people unacceptable content from being able to be viewed in our cinemas.

The different age certificates are U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, 18, R and X in England the age ratings only go up to 18 and in America they have two extra age rating which are R and X ratings.
The 12A age certificates:
The age certicate 12A is a very new age certificate it was made when there was a argument over the film spider-man the first spider man movie was scene as to violent to be shown to young viewers as it was seen as being to violent to be watched by children but the people argued that the film should not be band as the spider-man is part of many children child hoods and they should not be banned from being able to watch the film the BBFC then brang in 12A rating to give adults a choice if they want to take their children who are under twelve to wacth these types of films.
What age certificates do thrillers tend to get?
Thriller films tend to get the age certificates 15 and 18 this is because thriller films tend to have very graphic and grosome content for example blood, torture and weapons.
What age certificate would i give my thriller?
I would give my thriller the age rating 15 a the film will be quiet scary and will have some blood and weapons used this would not be suitable to be viewed in my opinion by pople under the age of 15.
Conclusion:
I have learned what certficates are needed or what types of films and what certificates are needed when looking at the content of a film.
