Music:
For the muic in this sequence i didn't use music... per say, i used more just sound effects created within Garageband, namely the big gong sound and also the faint deep tone at the start while the titles are rolling. This helped create atmosphere and is a usual convention of thrillers as it creates suspense and a happy and cheerful tune wouldnt do that, would it?
Transitions:
The only transitions i used within my sequence were fades and cuts, as these are conventional in Thrillers, as they connote continuity and progression within the movie.
Effects:
The two effects i used within the opening sequence were brightnes and contrast, so i could achieve the flashing white then progressing to a fade to black type effect, as this connotes fear and haste. The other effect i used was the echo on the scream at the end, this was not fully the desired effect i had hoped for but it works with the movie, since i asked a few people around my class if they thought it was appropriate for this genre and they all agreed with me. The echo trailing of shows how the character is trapped within some sort of building and springs several enigma codes into your mind, such as "Why is she screaming? "Why is she inside?" "What is he doing to her?" which is the desired effect for the echo.
And now, a brief explanation on why i have not used the dialogue of 'You're Special' and this is because when the camera had filmed it, something had happened and for some reason when i played it back, the sound was not in sync with the video, thus making it useless, so instead i used another shot of the characters face, which is used to create more suspense and enigma codes.
And now, to end my blog i will give you a quote from the famous director, Stanley Kubrick:
"A film is - or should be - more like music than fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, whats behind the emotions, the meaning, all that comes later."
Stay classy san diego.
