Special effects

The special effects we have chosen to use are addictive dissolve and non addictive dissolve between each shot, to make each shot to move on effectively. We have also put to shots together to make the illusion there being watched even more real by having eyes also in the shot.

How characters are introduced

There are two character in our thriller which we see, there also could be another character, but this is only hinted at. We are introduced to both of our characters right at the beginning the beginning of the thriller; we see Olivia and Amelia coming down the path of the park. This is when we know that these will be our to characters. There is also a part in the thriller when there is a hint at another character; we see a point of view shot through a persons eyes; whose we do not know, and then again at the end of our thriller we see the eyes of someone we do not know.

Genre and how the opening sets it up

The genre is evidently Thriller.

The use of quick succession shots, or montage, sets up the thriller genre as it, along with the music, will create tension and confusion.

The light and open area's in which we will film will create a normality where you don't expect bad things to happen.

We have deliberately chosen to have no dialogue in the opening sequence as we believe this to be the most effective way of beginning, both from experience and from our audience questionnaire results.

Story and how the opening sets it up

Our thriller is very simple, it is about a young girl who is baby sitting her little cousin for the day. All is going well until Olivia gets a phone call from a friend. she looses her concentration and stops paying attention to Amelia, when she turns around after her phone call Amelia is not there and all which is left is the ball which they were just playing with. At first Olivia thinks Amelia may be hiding from her, but after a few short seconds she realises this is not a joke and Amelia has gone. she frantically runs around looking for her, but cannot see her anywhere, she finds a dummy on the floor with Amelia's initials on it, this is when it all becomes real. After this more children start to go missing, but no one seems to be able to solve what is happening. There are no clues to what is happening, people have been questioned and places have been searched and yet nothing. People are starting to believe that anything is possible and nothing is beyond belief.

Title font and style

Snatched is the chosen title of our film. We created it in Motion and we used a font called Skia-regular.
