Here I have done some research about which Film Company to use for our thriller opening, this includes what intro company is going to come up in the beginning of our thriller opening.
After doing some research I found that Warner Brothers Pictures having produced quite a few successful thriller films. They are an American Entertainment Company that produces film, television and music entertainment. Warner Brother Entertainment is "a fully integrated, broad-based entertainment company and a global leader in the creation, production, distribution, listening and marketing of all forms of entertainment and their related businesses." In addition to their success the thriller films they have created and released over the years have brought great success with them.
This includes; The films 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' (which are both Thriller films) are the top two most successful Warner Brothers films to date, 'The Dark Knight Rises' made £1,084,939,099 worldwide gross. Furthermore, I think Warner Brothers should be our opening for our thriller not only because their most successful films to date are thriller films but also 'The Dark Knight Rises' is one of the highest-grossing worldwide films to date. Meaning their ability to make thrillers is highly respected and acknowledged. Some examples of thriller films that they have produced include; Inception, Gravity, Interstellar, The Shining and many more.
After discussing this with my group they agreed to use Warner Brothers Pictures as our entertainment company for our film. In addition, I went on to research different themes that the Warner Brothers Pictures use. As many people know Warner Bro's base a lot of their openings on the type of film they have made (instead of it being the original logo) to give the company character and connect it to that particular film. I think this is a very creative way of representing your company before the film starts because it not only gives it character but promotes the company more. Here are some examples of the different types of logos that Warner Bros have created and used.
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
- The Dark Knight
- Warner Brothers Animation
- Man of Steel
- Suicide Squad
- The Matrix
- Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
- The Lego Movie
Its clear from these logos that Warner Brothers take characteristics of each individual film and create the logo inspired by it. For example; The Lego Movie's logo is made of Lego, the Suicide Squad logo turns, twists and ticks to replicate the twisted and crazy characters in the film etc. After looking at all of the different logos I went on to research which one of the openings we could use at the beginning of our opening, in order to match the thriller theme. To do this I researched more thriller films that Warner Brothers have made and the intros they begun with. I found a couple that I liked but here is the opening that I found was the most effective one to use as it related to our film and its storyline.
This particular opening was from the film 'The Invasion' (2007). This particular film is also a thriller which makes it not only relate to our film but also contains similar characteristics that thrillers normally have e.g. action, tension etc. This meant that the unique opening would fit with our film. What made this opening more effective than the other Warner Brother thriller openings was the colours, flashes and overall on edge feeling it gives. Throughout that opening the same dull colours (like black and blue with hints of light) are used to give a more mysterious and scary feeling for the audience, preparing them for the rest of the film (as it is a thriller). In addition to this, during the opening there are various flashes/cuts, that almost replicate a flashback. This I found was the most effective part of the whole opening as it related to our opening/ film as we have included flashbacks and fast cuts, as part of our storyline. Our character Lydia has various flashbacks which look back at her terrifying past and can be shown in our opening. This Warner Brothers opening prepares the audience for what is to come, adding tension and mystery, whilst also making the opening as a whole flow better.
