Title sequence planning

Planning
As we have some titles in our opening, we decided to see what these look like. The titles are:


Unhappy Life Pictures Presents

A production by Ewan McConnachie and Luke Warren

Directed by Amber Castillo-Roman

Screenplay by Emily Rose Sharp

Joshua Huke (actor name)

Update: Emily has created some overlays and frames for the titles














This will break up some of the scenes, which could help break some of the unease of the previous scene.


Update 2: we have made the Title cards more interesting with "concept art" of the costume and the investigation , written respectively by the murderer and detective.

Equipment list.

Planning
Camera
This is vital for us, as it will actually film our scenes


Camera Case

This  is useful for carrying the camera when we are not using it, keeping it safe. It can also carry some other equipment so we don't have to drag everything around with us.


Tripod

A tripod is absolutely essential for keeping the camera steady through all of our shots. If we don't have this, the filming will be very low quality.





Computer


This is needed to store our files, as well as edit them. a laptop would be better for this task as it is portable and so we could access our blogs and/or edit files easier





Torch

As this is a horror film, it could be quite dark for the cameras and since lighting plays an important part, a way of altering the light to our bidding would be advantageous.






Prop planning

Planning
Today we discussed and planned our props that we are going to use in our opening.

We thought of five props that we could use, but we also understand that 2 (the badge and the mask) could be costume and so we are omitting these from this plan. 


The first thought for a prop was the detectives badge. even though it is a part of his costume at first, we thought it would also be a prop when he uses it to open doors. The same could apply for the murderers mask.The knife, as it is the murder weapon would definitely be needed. We thought the knife would make these murders a lot closer, making it seem personal
