Title Research: The Woman In The Window


  1. What titles are displayed during the opening  
    sequences? 

There are only 2 titles shown in this opening sequence. The first one is showing a title showing what studio the film is presented by. Then there is another title showing the name of the film. Both of these titles were in a red hard font. These are the only titles displayed in the opening sequence. 

  1. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

There is a theme of what types of images are used. Mostly seeing dark empty, lifeless rooms across a very large home. Also included in the opening sequence were images of a man being choked on a screen. Both images were prioritized in showing the “emptiness” and the building of suspense. 

  1. What connotations do these images carry? 

These images may seem subtle but build eerie suspense. The dark rooms create a connotation of emptiness. The images of the man being choked show slight aggression and perhaps foreshadowing to what may happen later in the film. 

  1. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from  
    the outset? 

You can immediately feel the thriller genre set in in the opening sequence. The slow movements and darkness get the viewer on the edge of their seats. The images as well as the font used in the titles being red and just the nature of them builds suspense. 

  1. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to  
    its target audience? 

The target audience in this film would be young adults looking for a suspenseful/horror/thriller film. In order to reach this target audience, different strategies are used. For example, the main protagonist shown is a middle to younger-aged woman. This woman seems to be struggling to wake up and has a long day ahead of her. When viewers can relate to the characters, they are more likely to be engaged. Also, the slow movements keep the viewer wondering where they will be next. 

 

  1.  
    How has technology been used effectively? You want  
    to consider camera angles, transitions and editing  
    techniques. 

Technology was used very effectively in this opening sequence. Shown in the film were a lot of slow-moving shots. For example, a pan shot over dim lighting of a very large home shows the vast emptiness. Also showing this was a tilt shot yet again in dim lighting of a very large staircase. As stated before the strong red font used for the titles is a strategy of technology that builds suspense in a thriller film.

Backseat Difficulties-Filming Blog

As I stated previously, I was the one who recorded the film. Adding one more person (Addison) not including Sean’s dad to the cast and characters. This person was Addison. Due to there being so much people, filming the car scene was a little difficult. Thankfully Seans dad has a minivan. This minivan has multiple seats however it is still crammed when you are trying to film a video. Some issues I had with filming were trying to get everyone in the frame. This is because Beckett was on the left side and Sean was on the right side but there needed to be space in the middle so that Addison driving could be seen clearly. Although I do have experience with filming this was still tricky. However, with some adjustments that were made, I figured it out by using a wider angle with the phone. Another issue I had while filming was mother nature taking a toll. When we were filming there was great weather however it was windy. As most people know when wind hits the speaker of a phone it makes a dis...

Scheduling a film Schedule - Production Blog

 When we first started filming, Me and Camille had to figure out how we were going to finish our film on time. Me and Camille are very busy, so it's critical that we plan out how we can film without interfering with any of our other activities. I have Water Polo and work after school, so I wouldn't be able to work on our film after school, so filming on the weekend is the only option. I had the bright idea of filming each of our individual parts in our spare time. Fortunately, the majority of the short film can be shot separately, with only a few scenes needing to be shot together. I will be filming my scenes at my house, while Camille will be filming hers at her house. Camille needs to film the scene where Courtney is at her house planning how she will embarrass Macie. She will eventually find an embarrassing picture of Macie, which she will then send to the entire school. I think Camilles mom is going to help her film this. My scenes will be shot at my home. I have to film so...

  Today, we are planning out our schedule for the first scene in our short film. The first scene of our film takes place at Macie’s house. We decided to shoot this scene at Camille’s house because it has a better set up for what we are looking for. When planning out what day we want to film, we both decided that it would be best to do it over the weekend since we are both very busy during the week. Julie will come over to my house around 11-12 pm to film the first scene. In this scene, Macie is getting ready for school. She will be “waking up” in my bed and getting ready for the day. Some of the props for this scene include a hairbrush, makeup, and for her costume, it will most likely be a plain shirt with either jeans or leggings to make it similar to what most highschoolers wear. Macie’s mom is also in this scene, so my mom will be able to play this part. If we have extra time, we may even film some of the other shots that may taken at my house. If something ends up changing, or ...
