To give our group a good idea of what sound effects and incidental music to use in our opening we have done some research in order to narrow down some of our ideas.
Clips are from:

These are some print screens from the websites.
These are the clips that we are thinking about using.
This is a mood board of type faces that I have researched and are possibilities of fonts that my group and myself might use for our film opening. Many of the fonts that i have included in this mood board fit in well with the theme of Horror. I selected these because some of them are very eerie and creepy which fits in well with our genre and sub genre of Horror and Slasher. Many of these typefaces show connotations of insanity and blood which could relate to our narrative well. This could also help the target audience make the link from the typeface to the narrative. We have decided to use a darker colour like black for the typeface as it is very dark and ominous or we will use a vibrant red on a dark background to make it stand out, look creepy and give connotations of blood.
This shows the times that we will film our opening. We have included the days that we would like to film and some reserve days just in case crew and actors cannot attend. We have have also included the final deadline to remind us.
After completing the planning process and thinking about how and when we are going to film we have decided to change our film title from "The Conductor" to "Tracks of Damnation". We decided to change the name because we thought that the new name fitted in well with the genre and subgenre that we have selected. We also thought that the name "The Conductor" wasn't as creepy and conventionally what you would expect from a Horror or a Slasher film name.
When we were finalising our storyboard we decided to film our discussion about things that we should and shouldn't include in our opening. We thought that filming this would be a good idea because it enables us to go back and watch the videos to remind ourselves of our ideas in that discussion.
These are videos of my group and myself asking our focus group questions relating to our film opening and the genre and sub genre that we have selected.
