What your company makes and why your ident -

Our company is called 'Third Person Pictures'. We make films that focus on the gritty, psychological aspects of thriller.  the idea of the camera lens in our ident offers a significant link between the ident and our film 'The Pursuer'. The man you can see in the background of our ident also links to the synopsis of our film which is about a man who is 'hiding behind a camera' and taking pictures of innocent children thus we decided to include the flash to further enforce the idea of a camera. Our company make thriller movies and they specialize within the perfect balance of distinguishing thriller from horror. The font we used on our ident is bold and enters in an erratic way. This helps to symbolize the unique and original films our company makes and how they seem abnormal and clash with an idealistic world. the first flash is an establishing shot to focus the audience in on the camera lens. The reason we put the writing of 'Third Person Pictures' on after the first flash is so that your eyes are automatically drawn to it having examined the camera and what is already happened as it is now the only thing in the shot that is moving. there is a final camera flash once the title is fully established which we intend to be the flash of 'The Hunters' camera and get straight to the film.

What do you prefer a films story to contain?

I prefer films to have some sort of problem that the protagonist must solve because it gives the film a straightforward path to follow with a satisfying end. I prefer the story to contain action and drama to keep the story driven and enjoy twist endings.

Stanley Kubrick because of the extreme attention to detail, tension and immersion in his films

The differences between a trailer and the opening two minutes : Joshua Jeffs

The differences between a trailer and the opening two minutes

Features of a Trailer

• Can show various parts of the story 
• Shows mostly highlights/high action parts of the story 
• key features of the story are shown
• used to draw the viewer in
• little detail

Features of the opening two minutes

• Chronological (mostly)
• Only the start of the story is shown 
• Main features of the story are a mystery 
• viewer is told the start of the story in detail
• may not contain high amounts of action

Trailers usually show highlighted parts of the story containing high amounts of action to draw the viewer in to watch it and key parts of the story and shown but no answers are given.

In the opening two minutes the story starts off and is usually done in chronological order and displays who the protagonist is, it goes into large amount of detail about the story and why the protagonist is doing what they are.  

Credits/Font Ideas : Joshua Jeffs

Font ideas for the opening credits

What type of fonts are used in thrillers?

Usually thrillers use plain bold fonts that are to the point. but some thrillers (mainly psychological) use 'wall writing' style fonts that look like what you would see on a cell wall, we can see this in Seven since the main antagonist is insane the font reflects off of him.

What type of font would best suite our thriller?

Our thriller is going to be a psychological thriller, this could lead us to use a 'wall writing' style font but the credits will be playing over people walking around a town and this type of font would not go very well with the scenery, so we should use a bold and to the point font. 

Examples of what fonts we could use 

• Helvetica 
• Impact
• Pegasus
• Univers 
• Cornerstone

Favourite film genre :Thrillers 

What type of thriller go I enjoy most?

I mostly enjoy action thrillers that have a well developed plot but have a lot of fast paced scenes.

Psychological thrillers can be extremely good if done well.

What do I except from the first 2 minutes of a thriller?

In the first 2 minutes I expect that the protagonist has been defined and that the story is hinted at but not all answers are given.
