Days of Darkness

CONVENTIONS WE USED IN OUR THRILLER OPENING:

CREATE ENIGMA• We created enigma with the use of the black and white effect throughout, the suspended

music and different sound effects such as static noise and camera editing such as slow motions and jump-cuts

ESTABLISH TO THE AUDIENCE WHO IS INVOLVED• It is made clear to the audience that the whole world is effected in our film. It is also

shown how big the impact is as we have the voice of the president in it towards the end

MOSTLY MUSIC PREVAILUSE OF MUSIC SUITED TO GENRE• Our music was created by a member from our group, Matthew. We wanted the opening to

be mostly music prevail as we all felt the music he produced successfully created enigma and tension – qualities a thriller should hold

IMAGES/ACTION INTERCUT WITH TITLES• We made all our titles overlap images throughout our opening

NAMES OF PRODUCTION COMPANIES AT THE VERY BEGINNING• The production companies we came up with are “Enigma Productions” and “Imperial

Productions

CLEAR POINTERS TO NARRATIVE; RELEVANT TO GENRE• The majority of our narrative was taken from the original news reporter scene we shot,

which gives the audience an insight of the our film may be about, without giving away the plot
