Comparrison to The strangers

For our film we got the ideas from The Strangers. We liked the idea of the white masks and the unknown killers.  We used these ideas in our film 'Sharp White'



This scene is from the film the strangers this scene is very similar to our film as there a stranger staring over in the distance as our film has a bullying aspect to it the strangers has a like ghostly aspect because it's only one in the room and in the corner.




This scene has been taken from our film sharp white as see the three masked strangers in the background, it's like the bird going for it's prey. 








This scene is also taken from our film Sharp White, it is also very similar to the photo up the top which was taken from The Strangers. In the strangers photo there is a masked stranger standing in the corner peering over and in sharp white the masked stranger is peering over the victims shoulder whilst the victim is looking in the mirror.





Research on existing film titles

I did a little bit of research on film titles before we decided what our would be like

Most film titles are the same in the way the lettering is arranges and how it is put together. Most thriller film titles have either white lettering or red lettering, they usually have dark or light backgrounds to add effect. I found these pictures of existing film titles, I looked at these titles because they are very similar to our film 'Sharp 

White'.




Below is the fonts we tried out before deciding what one we were going to use for our film. These fonts are from dafont.com, I found this website very useful to createlettering
