Incidental title music.

At the end of our film opening the title of our film will be shown on the screen in a font that relates to our genre, sub genre and narrative. When this music is shown on screen we hope to include a piece of music which will go well with the typeface and the name of the film.

I researched some different music genres like horror and thriller and found some tracks on 'Royalty Free Music'. The tracks I found were either creepy, eerie and also built suspense- this is the kind of music we had hoped to include in our title sequence.

I thought that this piece of music would be a good fit for out title sequence as it is very suspenseful and uses instruments which are conventionally used in horror sound tracks e.g violin and deep sounding instruments. We also thought that this sound track could be used in one of the shots where the face of the antagonist can't be seen. We think that not seeing the antagonists face and the eerie music paired together will give a more suspenseful and creepy effect on the audience.

Sound effects.

This is a compilation of a series of sound effects which we may be using in our film opening. We selected these because they are quite eerie and fit in well with our genre and sub genre. One of my team members researched online for different sound effects and these were the best ones suited for our opening.

Production Equipment.

This is the camera that my group and myself are using to film our film opening. It is a Nikon D3200 DSLR camera. We chose to film with this camera because it belongs to a member of our group so we will not have any trouble getting ahold of filming equipment. We also chose to film using this camera as it comes with 2 lenses which means we have can different lengths of shots in our film. The camera quality of filming is very high which will make our film look more professional and of a higher standard.

This is the tripod that we are using for our film opening. We are using this tripod because it is quite sturdy and supports the camera well. The tripod also extends to a good length which enables us to create shots at different angels to make our film look good.

Script

 These are some screen shots of our script was created on Adobe story. We felt that this look very professional and was a good layout.

Tons audition video.

This is Ton's audition video. We asked him to improvise a small piece of dialogue in his character of "thug/jock". We selected Ton as our replacement as we felt he was very experienced (GCSE, A Level, and partakes in after school plays.) We also thought that he would play the part well. My group and myself thought that Ton would be good because he lives in the village that we are filming in, which means that he will be able to come to filming and not have to worry about travelling.

Issue concerning filming.

Over the Christmas break we had an issue with one of our protagonists. The issue was one of the actors wasn't as committed to our task and we thought he was. Due to this we had a group discussion and thought about the possibilities and ways we could resolve this issue. We came to the conclusion that we had to replace Malachi. 

Our next task was to find a suitable replacement for Malachi. We discussed as a group and came to a mutual agreement that we would use Ton Wentink. We felt that he was experienced and would fit the part well and would also be able to travel to the location easily. 

Filming starts.

We began filming on the 2nd of January with one of our actors. We filmed a few scenes and whilst filming these scenes we took several shots so we will have a choice of the clips that we we will use in our opening. We found that the filming was very successful despite the cold conditions. We felt as a team we worked very well together and we were constantly bouncing ideas of each other and even had advice from our actor. Overall we were very pleased with the footage.
