I had decided to grade the film as Black and White as I felt it added to the tone of the film nicely. Because there is a but of a thriller/horror/slasher element to the short I decided to add a splash of colour to the end titles by punctuating each credit with a splash of blood coupled with a gory sound effect for extra impact.
It works great and has a nice tongue in cheek humor to it.
Today I saw the new trailer for Quentin Tarantino's new war epic Inglorious Basterds.
The trailer is riddled with the same title/splash of blood effect.
I know its nothing new having blood splashes in credits sequences. Hell, there are B movies a-plenty that share this technique.
But I just want to put the record straight, as both films will be going public roughly around the same time, that I did not rip off the Tarantino trailer, although thats what I'll be accused of.
End of rant.
PS I'm really looking forward to seeing the new film. I, ahem, "found" a copy of the shooting script online but have refrained from reading it as I don't want to ruin the film for myself, it looks long (its a PDF). I want to see what takes 10 years to write.
