S1-19 : THRILLER PROJECT 2008/9

Monday 6 October 2008

Inspiration continued



The 'Saw' title sequence is one that i think is good because it shows clearly that the film is going to be really gory and mysterious. It starts by showing lots of splashes of blood to immediatly give the audience a feeling of anticipation about whos blood it is and where it came from. Then it pans and there are hand prints in the blood to show it was a human struggling. There are plenty of shots of different types of weapons like guns, knifes, hammers etc and i think this is to emphasise the violence of the film and to show that the 'villain' is prepared and willing to use many methods to cause pain, also the names of people featured in the film/took part in the makings' names were on the weapons which i think is an imaginative and original thing to do. Towards the end of the sequence there is a quivering hand covered in blood with 'Saw' written on it to introduce the film in quite a expressive way which then focuses on a flickering TV screen and slowly zooms in, to show that things arn't right. Eg they are in a dormant place so the TV doesn't work. When it zooms out there is a close up of a man waking up under water which gets straight to the point of the film really as everyone people just wake up in a random location...
