Titles

We have started to create all the titles that we are going in include in the sequence. There is a list of the names we are using in a different blog. Pat has been doing the majority of the titles while i edited together the footage we shot over the weekend 12th-13th of February

Taken opening sequence

how does it fit with genre: no defining genre from opening credits, could become any type of film.
has a very similar opening sequence to 'The Game' directed by David Fincher. opening sequence shows film reels of a small girls birthday (most likely main characters daughter). Sub Genre: we cannot tell there is any sub genres from the opening credits because there is only a short film of a birthday then a face on view of who must be the main character.

Tittle sequence

We have made a title sequence for our production logo. It uses spirals and bright colours for visual effect. We have made the title sequence in photoshop and we have edited it in final cut also we added eery music for a thriller effect.

Filming over the weekend

We did all our filming over the weekend 12th-13th of February at All Saints Passage near the town center, we got a friend of Pats called Jess to play the female character in the sequence and Pat playing the male character and me as the Cinematographer. We all worked well as a team getting the majority of the shooting done over a couple of hours. We improvised a crane shot by using the tripod and lifting it into the air and leaning it forward, we got a high angle shot that looks like it was done by using a crane so it increased the range of camera angles we used in the sequence.

Film Sequence

We have edited together the footage that we shot over the weekend. we are still deciding whether to re-shoot the footage as some of the shots have to be cut shorter then we intended due to mess ups. we also don't have some of the shots we wanted, and our sequence when edited together is shorter then we wanted so we need to increase the play tim of it so we can edit in all of the titles and credits.

Music sample

This is a sample of the sort of music we want to use in our Final Piece of the Thriller. It includes piano,Guitars,Violins and a drum kit potentially. i will be getting friends to record the piano and Violin parts and play the guitar parts myself. I will be writing all the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrzGo0Oic6c
