Changing and adding scenes to our opening sequence.

When shooting our opening thriller, our initial ideas changed and adapted to ideas that looked much better when capturing them. We took out the interview scene, and replaced it with a dream scene which helped to create a story and make the opening sequence understandable. Im glad we added the 'Dream' scene as it builds up this sense of mystery and atmosphere which a thriller needs to have, it also establishes to the audience that the main character (Detective) has issues and problems that haunt him.

'Catch me if you can' thoughts about animation




This is the whole opening of 'Catch me if you can';


This is also another clip I found on youtube of other student's work that has used animation and I think element works really well and I'd like to include something like this in my own opening titles.

Mood Board of ideas for our own opening sequence


Influenced by 'Seven' and 'Shutter Island'.

Weather checks

We do not need to check what the weather is going to be like when filming on the 21/12/11 and 31/12/11. As all of our shot are established inside, and will not be affected by the outside weather.

Test Shots

These are test shot of the actors with there names and the roles they are playing within our opening sequence.

Location - 15 Eagles Road, Greenhithe
                  Kent, DA9 9QZ


  After asking Georgina's dad for permission, we went to Georgina's house to chose the best rooms to film our opening sequence in. We have chosen one of the lounges with is not decorated and we have taken down all the pictures and family stuff that was in the room. So it know looks like a unhomely room in which the Detective lives. 
  These are some photo's of our room for the 'Opening credits' and 'Waking up' scenes. Unfortunately there are boxes in the room as storage but they are being moved by the weekend so this will not be a problem. 




  The second location is in her office, in which we are going to turn into a interview room. We chose this room as it is at the back of the house and does not have big windows so it will look dark, which will build suspense. We will clear this room full of the items and storage it has in it at the moment.
  These are photograph of the room we are using for the 'Interview' scene;




  We chose these two locations as they are appropriate to our opening sequence, we also wanted to chose a location that would make our film look like a real film rather than a student project. 

Permission

We are filming at 15 Eagles Road Greenhithe Kent, DA9 9QZ. This is Georgina's house so we did not need to email anybody for permission, we just asked her father and he said that it is fine to shoot the opening sequence in his house.
