SOUNDTRACK

Here is just the soundtrack to our film opening, we spent a lot of time choosing how we wanted it to sound, in the end we settle for this:



The music begins with a string instrumental, very slow tempo but a high pitch, this opens the films and gives it a typical thriller feel. The next big change in the music is the start of the main melody, which is a guitar instrumental we decided it fitted in well with our film, as both show modern elements it also highlights the youth of the girls and appeal to a younger audience. After Elizabeth says the words 'she got what she wanted' which is echoed on our voice over, this reinforces the message of Caitlin's power. however as this plays the music changes to a different melody, another guitar instrumental but this one at a fast temp and lower pitch, presenting the chaos of the our main characters emotions and thoughts as she remembers her traumatic past. Finally the melody fades out to leave a fast beat as the opening comes to an end.

CLASSIFICATIONS

We have decided to classify our film as a fifteen, seeing as there will be not be a lot of strong language in our film and little to no nudity but there will be strong violence we thought it would be appropriate to classify it as suitable for peoples of fifteen years and over. Having the lowest possible classification will also enable us to have higher viewing potential as a larger percentage of people are able to view it legally.

RESEARCH INTO FILM TITLES

Our Group had to decide whether to have the title of our film, once we have chosen one, either coming over an existing shot, or to have a black screen to show the title, or to have a specialist title shot such as our 'montage productions' shot at the start.

I decided to research into some different titles of films by looking a number of film openings and deciding which would suit our film the most.

The title of 'Ghost Ship' appears over an existing shot and does not cut of the sequence this allows a continual sequence of the opening credits. I think that this is effective as it does not draw attention away from the film, which is setting the scene, but also allows the title to stand out as it is in large pink font.

I think that a title over the top of our establishing shot would be best for our film.
