Equipment for Filming Opening Sequence

The camera we used to film is a Hitachi High Definition Video Camera DZHV595E. It is able to film in high definition, as well as do things such as zoom and time lapse. It's quite small so it wasn't a hassle to carry around and it is good to shoot with because it is easy to travel with. This was good for us because we shot outdoors and didn't find it to be a difficult task. 

Here is the tripod that we used. It is a Hama Star 63 Tripod. It was adjustable so that we could get the shots that we wanted by changing to different heights and different angles. It also has a handle so we were able to pan when needed. 

How Did Our Filming Day Go - Video

In this video, we talk about how our filming day went. We discuss what went well and what could've been improved on our filming day.

First Cut - Main Task BLOOPERS

FIRST CUT - Main Task

This is the first cut of our main task. It is not the final cut yet, as we must change the names on the opening credits to ours. I used fake names for this cut because I wanted to test out how this cut looked with different names first. We also need to improve our first and second idents (Orion Films and Flight Pictures) because they are unclear and we could like to improve their quality. The film title screen must be changed as well because it is not very clear and we want to make the font suit the film a bit more by resembling someone's handwriting. Additionally, we would like the door scene to be a bit faster because we want the pace to resemble how the protagonist is feeling.

Filming Schedule for Opening Sequence

Here is the filming schedule that we used to keep track of what we were doing on the day of filming. We kept to it most of the time, but we were conscious of it getting too dark so we tried to speed up the final scenes that we shot a little bit. That being said, the rest of the schedule went to plan.

Costume and Props for Opening Sequence

We want Lauren to be dressed in clothes that resemble a teenage school girl. Therefore we have chosen typical clothing such as black skinny jeans. Also, white converses are typical for a young person to wear. As well as this, her hair will be up in a ponytail to show her innocence in the opening sequence.We are thinking about putting glasses on her to make her seem more vulnerable to the viewer as well. Her props involve her iPhone, covered in a case that makes it evident that she's young, and her backpack is to make her seem as she is coming home from school.

Tinika's costume is different because we want her to also look childish, but have a creepy element to her so it's obvious that her character isn't normal. She will be wearing a dress and a cardigan, which are normal items of clothing for a young person to wear, but the prop that makes her whole costume is the mask she wears. She will be wearing a mask so that the viewer can question whether she's the antagonist or not. Also, the mask hides her identity to create an effect that suits the genre (thriller).
