Dear moderator

Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my blog, I am Karen Tsang. On here you can find my research evidence, evaluation questions and the final product for G322. I am in a group with Piers Harrop and George Thornton. I hope you will like my work, thank you.

My Film Opening

My Preliminary

Film title

Here is our film title- Faded. My group and I decided to keep it simple, yet mysterious. The title itself is simple, bold and creates contrast against the black background. We made use of a font that looks almost like handwriting. It doesnt have any special effects and nothing fancy and it can relate back to the film itself, which is very down to earth. This will help create suspense and familiarity and emotion within our audiences- verisimilitude.

Research on fonts

We went on Dafont to look for the suitable font for our title. They all belong to different categories, for example like handwriting, modern, destroy, horror and gothic.

However my group and I chose to focus on the handwriting genre as we thought it suits our film the best. 

Research on film titles

Before my group and I create or film tile, we had a look at different films to see how they made use of font, texture, background and space. Here are some examples.
Through researching other title sequences we noticed that other film sequence fonts were often kept simple, bold, in contrast with the background and often shaped into the landscape

Audiences feedback

We had a very sucessful viewing and gained extremly positive feedback from a group viewing of about 35 people during open morning at school. These people espcially enjoyed and were stunned with the climax
of the boy leaning and jumping over the edge of the tall building, especially with the cutaway. We heard comments such as 'I hope the boy isn’t dead'. This is very reassuring and provides evidence of the feeling and emotions I wanted to create verisimilitude. They also felt that the location was extremly realistic and made the situation of the boy even mroe shocking.

The viewing audience of our film included the targeted age group of 18-40+  with a mixture of genders. Both genders as appealed as the other. We also had younger age groups which were very intrigued and grabbed by our film opening. This suggests that our film may appeal to an even wider audience than previously thought and so the chances of our film becoming a sucess is extremly postive.
