Main Menu (Final Film Beginning)
This is the Main Menu that I designed using Adobe Encore. On the DVD format it plays at the beginning of the film introducing the Films title. At the end of the film it loops back to the Main Menu. On the DVD format the Play, Credits and Quit text becomes buttons and are able to be selected.
The Birth of a Nightmare (Final Film)
The Main Menu appears at the end. This is due to a loop in the video, meaning that when the video ends it will return to the Main Menu page. I was unable to embed a DVD format file.

Evaluation - Textual Analysis: The Birth of a Nightmare
The film opens on a birds eye view shot, looking down at the floor. The camera pans and tilts in a downwards motion and tracks in slowly towards a wall. This is combined with parallel music which sounds gloomy and dark. There is synchronous sound of blood splatter and footsteps, which implies to the audience that someone was walking towards the wall but were attacked. The titles fade in, introducing the film and options to play the movie.
The film opens on a black screen with non diegetic sound of a build-up. This instantly enforces the genre of the film. The clip cuts to an extreme close-up of a persons eye and the music immediately becomes silent. This makes the audience feel uncomfortable as they are unaware of the characters surroundings. The clip cuts to a mid-high angled mid shot revealing a male dressed in black trousers and a white t-shirt who is on the floor. The camera tracks out into a long shot revealing more of the characters surroundings. The parallel music that is playing creates a spooky atmosphere and makes audience feel uneasy regarding the characters current location. The high angled mid shot and the lack of clothing (a t-shirt) suggests that the character is in a vulnerable state, the music also enforces this and is a modern representation of the male gender to be seen as vulnerable.
The clip cuts from a close-up of the male character to a close-up of a clock. This eye-line match is combined with diegetic sound of a clock ticking suggests that the character is thinking about what time it is. The clip is dark, which suggests to the audience that its late at night. The darkness of the clip could also reflect the characters status and imply that he is in a vulnerable state. This would be a modern representation of the male gender however in contrast the darkness of the clip could symbolise the characters personality or role of the film. The darkness could imply that he is the Antagonist of the film which would mean that he is strong, dependant violent individual. This would be a traditional representation of males as they are usually seen to possess those stereotypes.
The clip cuts to a high angled mid shot revealing more of the characters location. We can see he is in a small room, which can symbolise his introvert personality and that he keeps himself away from the rest of the world. The shot is combined with a plethora of effects giving the impression that he is being watched. The camera effect and high angled shot can suggest the characters insecurity and reinforces the suggestion of vulnerability. As this is a modern stereotype of a male, the characters suspicious surroundings generates a lot of questions for the audience as they are unaware of the circumstances. There is continuous editing as the character is shown to be walking around the building, each to high angled shots combined with effects to give the impression that he is being watched.
The clip cuts to another high angled camera shot of the character walking into a bathroom up to a mirror, followed by a close-up of the character. This creates the impression that he is looking at himself in the mirror. The clip holds for approximately 8 seconds and could suggest that he feels a lack of identity within him. Editing has been used to create what look like bugs crawling up the characters face within the skin. The clip immediately cuts to a point of view shot of the character walking back into the main room. The shot includes blur effects which give the look that he is struggling and on a path to faint. This could be seen as traditional representation as he is seen to be trying to fight it. However in contrast this could also been seen as modern representation as he seen to be in a weak state.
The clip cuts to a mid shot of the characters hand which are on the floor. This creates the image of the character fainted on the ground. There is continuous editing of mid shots of parts body that tilt upwards slowly revealing his state of unconsciousness.

Chosen Audio: Scare
I took an interest to this piece, as I believe it can be used to resemble a jump scene and scare the audience. I will use this audio at the beginning of the film.
Chosen Audio: Main Theme
This audio I have chosen to be the main theme of the first two minutes. It will play throughout the majority of the clip. By Aaron Riley
Chosen Audio: Bathroom Scene
I found this music a perfect fit for the bathroom scene. It has an echoic essence to it that creates the vision of a cave in a watery location such as an abandoned Lake. By Aaron Riley
Chosen Audio: Clock Tick
I have discovered a clock ticking piece of audio for the clock scene. By Aaron Riley
Chosen Audio: Door Bell
I have chosen this Door Bell Audio to occur at the end of the 2 minutes. By Aaron Riley
Chosen Audio: Tap Water
I found some Tap Water audio which would fit in nicely for the film. By Aaron Riley
