September 4th

As homework we were given the option to watch some sort of film.
I chose to watch a psychological thriller called "The Number 23", as i was told it had a very good introduction.

What i thought made it a good introduction, was the:

Sharpness and Focus of the Camera
I thought this was really good, as it gave it a slight edge, and the way it was slighty scratchy and jumpy, gave a mood of suspension.

Simple Moving Shapes
This i thought was good, as it was easy on the eyes, and you didn't have to concentrate to hard, to follow and understand it. It was also good, because if there was lots of fast moving more complex shapes, along with the music and the colours, it may have been too much, and then looked messy and rushed.

The Use of Three Colours
I feel this worked well, because anymore colours and it would have looked stupid and out of place, but due to the colours being Black(the ink from the typewriter) Dark creme(the colour of the Paper) and Red(the colour of Blood), it makes it seem personal, and as if someone is writing it. The way text is appearing as if someone is typing it also adds mood, and tension

The Suspence Building Music
The suspence building music, at the begining adds tension, and it causes a build up, and it makes you think that at the end of the introduction, something bad is going to happen.

The Font and Scribbling Makes it More Personel
This i feel this is probably one the most important things in the introduction because with the use of the three colours, the sharpness of the camera and the way the text is appearing, it makes it feel more personal and if some is stressed, and needs to make it right and needs to write down as much as they can.

All of this used in the introduction are all reasons why i belive it's such a good introduction, and i think that all of these work together in making it better, because without one part of it it wuoldnt be as good.
