Final

We have finished our thriller opening. In fact we'd finished it last friday but as the bell went when we finished and I had to go home, we left checking it over until today, and everything is fine. We have our mirror clone, sped up and slow motion sequences, jump cuts, and effects, and the music worked out tremendously. Tommorow we are putting it onto disk, as Miss Mapp wasn't in today, so after that we move onto evaluating.

title sequence update

We had a meeting about the title sequence earlier today and i have redrafted it with the changes there are still a few bits that we need to work out but as far as the title sequence goes

it will begin outside the garage with chris walking through he places the shovel down in the garage which will be dimly lit.
When chris places the spade down we will see a newspaper that will have the first of the names in the title it will say 'Chris Harding and carry on to read something along the lines of starring and co producing the next big thriller' he will then carry on walking through the garage until the utility door at the end which leads into the kitchen all of this will be point of view shot.
Once in the kitchen he will carry on walking through he looks at the fridge which will have the 2nd of the names Ollie Cracknell spelt out in fridge magnets.
after this he will carry on walking through the kitchen and across the hall to the living area which will then show the 3rd name Nicola Mooney although we are unsure where this name will appear.

As we walk through the the door ways we will have flashes of images the first will be of a knife. the second of this bible with the symbol in side on the piano next to a candle maybe, the third of a child by a lake with a balloon a happier childhood memory maybe, the next will be of that same lake with the same balloon but the child will be gone and the balloon will pop ( this will be done by us behind the camera out of shot shooting it with a bb gun or a spud gun so they cant see how it pops) and one of just the symbol maybe if we can fit it in if not the symbol will be in the bible which will hold significant value to the story later.

Chris will then perhaps fall asleep on the couch an the camera will point out the window an we will see the night fade away into day and chris will get up and leave the house via the front door which will reveal our title if the film this will then lead onto Chris's idea of watching him leave the house after.

Title Sequence Draft

Ive Drawn a story board for the title sequence which needs a few tweaks but so far we have the camera tracking through chris's house (in the movie), it will slowly move from one room to another going in each room to see it in more detail almost like a virtual tour. The camera will be facing down the hall way as if it was someone walking backwards.
As the camera goes through the door ways, random images will flash up like memory flashbacks these images will consist of childhood memories, images of chris, the sacred book with the symbol and such.
They will be quite quick but long enough for you to see what the image is.
As the camera moves from room to room you will also see the producers names either spelt out across the tables and walls or as ollie suggested spelt out in house hold objects such as magnets on the fridge.
For the main title i think it would look really effective if the last bit of the tracking could end up in front of the front door as if looking in with the title being in the room and as we walk backwards the door closes so we can no longer see the title and is just a shot of the front door.
The house will just be a normal house where chris lives with his parents but could hold significant clues for later in the plot hence why we see it in so much detail.
Once ive re-story boarded it i will scan it an upload so we can see it properly.
