Costumes

We didn't have much costumes in our title sequence as not many people appeared in it. But we did have a shot where we film one of us walking in the grass. The boots that we used were: 

Other than the boots we didn't use any other types of costumes. 

How we based our title sequence on a true story?

When we started thinking about ideas for out title sequence we knew we wanted to revolve our story around someone going missing. So when we were looking for ideas we researched on the internet loads of missing boy cases. We then found one boy called Etan Patz who is the boy that we have on our missing poster that we used to burn. He disappeared in 1979 which was the time that we wanted to set our title sequence in. We decided to base our title sequence on a true story because it would make the film more interesting and the audience would be intrigued in our title sequence. Below is a picture of the missing boy we based our narrative on:

What will we do tomorrow?

What will we do tomorrow?

Tomorrow we will continue to film and edit our footage. We will also add all of our typography to our title sequence and hopefully by tomorrow we will be finished with our title sequence. We will also go through all our new footage that we have shot and see if any shots need to be re-shot. 

What we did today - 04/03/15

Today we showed our title sequence to our media class and got their feedback which you can see on another blog post that I have posted. Once that was finished we stayed behind after school and used one of our free periods to go through our title sequence and make the changes the class suggested to us. We also decided to film more footage so we can cross dissolve each piece of footage to make all of the shots flow. We got this idea from the title sequence for True Detective which was one of the title sequences that I researched into when starting this piece of coursework. From looking into this title sequence I liked the way all of the images flowed into each other and there were different backgrounds like buildings and taps etc. We wanted our title sequence to have a similar look to this so that is why we started to film more footage. 

Typography feedback

Typography feedback -

The feedback we got back about our typography was that most of the people we asked like the font that we originally chose for our title sequence but we wanted to have other fonts people could look at if they didn't think the one we chose fitted our genre. 

This is the typography that we have chosen to use in our title sequence and this is how the title will appear in our title sequence. Below are the other types of fonts I chose that I thought would go well with our genre: 

The reason we didn't pick any of the other fonts was because we thought they didn't suit our genre as well as the one we chose did. This is because we thought that most of them looked like they belonged in a horror film which isn't the same as our genre. But I liked the font that we picked because it looks formal but not too formal and its quite distorted which is something we wanted to portray in our title sequence. In our title sequence, all of our credits will appear on either a black screen we put in between shots or it will appear within some of our footage. When we start editing again tomorrow we will decide whether we want our typography on a black screen or on our actual footage. 

Animation

This is the animation for our title sequence. It is quite short but it isn't going to be this short and this just gives us an idea of where we want each shot to go. 

Improving on parts of our shots.

When we first filmed the sink scene that appears in our title sequence we had very basic shots: 

When we presented this to the class, we got feedback. Then we re-filmed this part of the title sequence and added a shot of our teacher washing his hands. We thought to include these kind of shots so the audience were put into the murders shoes and the title sequence just made more sense: 

These shots that we used had more tension added to them. When we were editing our title sequence we decided to make these shots black and white as it would add more suspense to our sequence.
