Changing the opening sequence to Black and White

We decided to change our opening sequence to black and white to help our production as, as a group we decided that it looks better for our sequence and it is very different from other groups as not many people are doing black and white so it is original.

There are a lot off famous black and white thrillers like the stranger, as it is an opening the audience will question about why it is black and white and i believe it will add a lot more tension for the audience if it is black and white as it looks plain and boring in colour.


A modern film using black and white would be Tabu which was done in 2012.

It was done by a famous director Miguel gomes who is mostly famous for the silent movies he has done, this movie is in the old days and therefore they done this in black and white and at the start it starts in full sound and then goes to silent. Black and white allows us to change our story completely as it looks different in colour compared to black and white. 

In the famous film kill bill the colour switches from black and white to colour, they used this to mainly get the film as a rated R due to so much gore they had to change the colour to not have that much blood. this is what they done in the old films to not scare our audience but in modern day with the gore films there is a lot more more gore in colour like Saw.

Colour films started to come in 1930 but it costed a lot of money for the production companies so they only realesed 1 or 2 every year. The black and white film era didn't end quickly and still now we have black and white films as they are cheaper and are very different from normal colour films we have today.

I believe our black and white decision will pay off for the group as it will get originality as our opening sequence and plot is very different from other groups which allows us more room to change and edit our sequence.
