Titles & Sound

The title itself was easy enough to design and place. We opted to go for a simple black background with crisp white writing. We thought that the more simple, the better. The only struggle was deciding on the name of our thriller. Because our initial idea changed 'Rich Kids' no longer worked. Here is a brainstorm of the different names..

A lot of these names were inspired by Carl Jung and his theory of 'the shadow'; 

"Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." It may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts, which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind.

This relates well with our piece hence why we chose to use audio clips of a lecture on his theory of the acceptance of ourselves and others, aswell as an interview with Jung himself where he states that inside we are all evil in some way or another. We included diegetic noises such as the punches and kicks, which were made up of soundclips such as a can of dog food being emptied, a punching bag being hit, a baseball being smacked and footsteps walking in mud. These are all unconventional noises but when edited carefully and layered on top of each other they make very convincing punching noises.

The last thing left to do was watch our opening sequence carefully, and go through each section to ensure that the continuity and transition were smooth. All we have left to do is post our clip unto the Hurtwood Media Youtube Channel.
