When making my opening I thought carefully how I wanted to show the characters. since we could only do the opening I had to go for more subtle methods and as a result I went for the colour of their clothing and their performance. Although they might not have the voice acting I wanted their body language spoke more that them. I chose specific colours for each character to represent who they are without and sort of backstory which if people look carefully they will understand how the main protagonist it.
The music I chose at the start was to fit in with what the protagonist can hear but at the same time I wanted to make it hard on the ears to apply discomfort to tense up the atmosphere. I was looking for a song that contains a piano as the piano can be quite sinister depending on the tune however, I went for a more peaceful tune to throw off the view from what was to come. When the music changes near the end I wanted it to fit in with the situation but also provide a sneak of suspense to go along side it. The questionnaire shows that people like how the music goes with the situations making the opening seem creepy.
The font it nothing amazing as the reason for why I chose it was because I thought that it looked nice and fit in with the opening. I chose to make it fairly transparent because I wanted to make it more subtle yet effective and due to the lighting I picked white to make it noticeable. The font for the opening titles and the title name are fairly similar as people can read them clearly but they are also bold to make them stand out as well. Although I didn't ask in my question sheet about the text people have said that it works and that they can clearly see who is who.
When making the company logo's I originally made 3 however, two of them had the same idea behind what I wanted them to be so I changed it to not only shorten it but to also fit with the music which was excecuted well. The final company logo's shown in the opening have been presented well and have positive views about them making them one of the key features in the opening.
The title of the film was originally 24 seconds long because it included sound and different effects but it would of increased the run time of the opening. The change to make it shorter was vital and effective making the whole opening flow into one.
