The aim of my project is to plan and shoot an opening title sequence to a fiction film, my chosen genre is a thriller. we have 3 weeks to plan this and we will be shooting sometime in January.
i have chosen to work with Chris Johnson in this project
the opening title sequence has to be about 2-3 minutes long.
in class we watched a various number of openings my favourite one was Se7en by David Fincher. we found this very clever and inspiring because of the typography and lighting and framing. my favourite part of this is the cutting of the fingertips so he don't leave no fingerprints,i think this is really clever .
When me and Chris come to shoot our opening we will consider the way Fincher uses confined space in the frame and the scratchy writing and images that appear.This film is not the reason that me and Chris chose a thriller,both me and Chris chose a thriller from the beginning before we knew what we had to do.
At this moment we have no strong ideas but we have some locations in mind like where i live in thamesmead because there's loads of unwanted land that is deserted, by the Thames because i live again near it and we can get extremely close to the water,these are just ideas that we have come up with to start.

We have both now decided that we will not shoot it at the Thames but we will be shooting it in school because we have the facilities e.g. we need a dark room. We have been told that we can use a big store cupboard for our title sequence that will be ideal because it has no windows so we can light it precisely and we can take advantage of the darkness.
this is our continuity piece,we had to include openin and shutting a door and a brief conversation so we chose a prison visit. tha camera work was done by chris johnson, the prisoner was played by me, lucy hart and the visitor was played by emily peachy.and lastly the prison guard was played by shazna khalique. this took us about 1hour to shoot and about 1hour to edit.
