Colour Blindness

In our film, the killer is going to have a symptom of tritanopia - a form of colourblindness in which the victim is only able to see shades of red and blue and a few other dark shades, as seen below.

We are going to start of our film in a normal colour whilst viewing the police officer and the when changing scene to the killer, we will edit in the tritanopia spectrum so that all will be seen is the colours of what the killer would see which will bring the audience deeper into the mind of the killer.

Directors

There have been many directors of thrillers. One of the best known for early thrillers was Alfred Hitchcock, who directed Psycho, Rear Window and North By Northwest. More modern directors include Christopher Nolan, who directed Inception, Memento and Batman Begins and Dark Knight. I think his work is brilliant as he seems to get really great performances from his actors. I also like Ridley Scott’s work on the Alien film and Hannibal, both of which are very atmospheric.

Cape Fear

This remake stars Robert de Niro as a rapist released from prison who seeks revenge on the prosecutor who put him behind bars. He is covered in tattoos and he mentally tortures the family – killing their dog, intimidating them in a cinema and flirting with their teenage daughter.

The music in this film is very effective and when you hear it, it makes you sit on the edge of your seat as you know something is going to happen.

Credit usage in prelim

This is our preliminary task where I have put the credits that we are thinking of putting into our film. This is useful as we are able to learn how to put credits into our film. I have also found that we need to find out how to fade our credits out of the image so they can look more mysterious. Also we need to learn how to put our credits behind everything else so that our characters do not walk past or through the credit.
