Final Pilot Questionnaire

After several of our target audience members and additional audiences for variance in perspective, I decided to create an improved survey. The main feedback was that there were a wide variety of questions, but non-film fans were unaware of the meanings of the terminology involved. Therefore, this Final Pilot Survey Questionnaire consists of descriptions of the confusing language or conventions.

Film Noir/Horror: Character and narrative theory research.

Possible shots to include in our trailer

We like the use of the setting here, as it is clearly in an interrogation room. The low-key lighting on the interrogator creates secrecy, and draws the focus onto the suspect who is sweating, connoting anxiety. The level provides the interrogator with realistic power.

This is an establishing shot, which is seen in 'Third Man' trailer. The location creates a sense of the unknown and connotes that the character is running away from someone, setting the idea of a chase. The use of the silhouettes increases the climatic tones and the lighting in the centre of the shot signifies a place of escape.

We like the use of dry ice here, creating smoke, conventional for Noir. Also, the darkness has created shadow outlines of the characters connoting mystery.

This close up creates a sense of verisimilitude because we feel close to the character, and the camera viewpoint takes the natural perspective of another character. The shot denotes his determination, representing a typical Noir Detective hero, thus we will consider using a shot like this.

We like the use of a mini in the background because this is another generic convention within Film Noir. The lights within the darkness creates a sense of hope, connecting to the foreground's characters clear plea for help, perhaps representing a Damsel.

Response from the church

The church officials require more detail about our adaptation of the film noir genre, we can't give them a detailed response until we come up with a complete plan for our production therefore the response would be delayed.

Font Research

Font research

The font for the film 'The Honesman' is Cheltenham Bold Extra Condensed. Saban Films have likely chosen this font for this Drama/Western because it creates a sense of roughness and violence, perhaps connoting the sand and desert location. We personally like this font because it looks classic, with modern details, allowing the presentations to be denoted in a similar way to what we desire.

The font here is Times™ Roman. This choice of font is used in Lucas Film Production in order to provide recognition and unity within this franchise. In my opinion, it works effectively with the title lexical choices, in the way that we can instantly see the key words.

The font used here is Industria™. This font is used for classic crime films, and I think that the size and the tightness appropriately reflects the 'silence' and eerie atmosphere (both being Horror conventions.)

This font used is called Egyptian Bold Condensed, commonly incorporated in a Warner Bros production. This was effective for the Romance/Drama genre. The white colour signifies the wind and it effectively juxtaposes the flame colours.

This font was used by United Artists in 1988. Caslon 540 Roman is suitable for a Drama with a melodramatic style. This font is effective because it is synchronised and neat, perhaps suiting a straightforward idea. Also, the white colour adds to the simplicity.
