Filming Day 3

On filming day three, we filmed the pub with two of the three actors. We spent a lot of time in the pub filming from different angles, but because of how dark it is inside we were unable to get all the footage we wanted. Although the lighting was difficult to get right,because of a large window directly in front of both actors we managed to get some successful shots that made the actors look silhouette like, and they can be used in the title sequence. 

To improve next time we should bring lighting with us to all the locations to make sure there aren't any problems with the scenes being too dark.

Filming Day 2

One of our actors was ill today, and unable to make it to filming, so we decided to get more artistic shots and cutaways to make sure we could make the most of the time we were given to film. During this time we were able to get permission from a local pub so we could film there the following day and create the right mise en scene for the bar/pub scene my group had planned.

Filming Day 1

The first day we filmed was very successful, we were able to film at an outside location of me walking along the road with the camera following. We were also able to get some 'arty' footage which we could later edit to improve our opening title sequence . Although the footage was clear and turned out well, if we explored other areas and filmed there, i think this part of the sequence would have been even more successful.
the location itself fit what we were going for in our opening title sequence, the dim, dark looking houses and wet roads worked well for our horror and created the right mise en scene

Font Choice

These are a few fonts we have looked at for our opening title sequence, using the website Dafont.com. we found fonts that reflect on our genre, which is horror.

we've chosen this font as most horror fonts can to be too complicated, and hard to read.The font reminds me of scratches in a wall, which relates to our horror theme as it connotes despair or struggle, which usually occurs in horrors.

This font is the more obvious horror font, as the splashes around the letters look like blood. The font reminds me of writing used for the Tv show ''Dexter''.  

This is the last font we've chosen. This particular font reminds me of paint brush strokes, this could connote to blood if it was being brushed across a wall, or messages written in blood.

Music

For a long time my group were disagreeing on the music we should use for our opening title sequence, until finally we agreed on the piece of music called 'The house on the hill'
    

We chose this music as it fits our opening title sdequence perfectly, the low to high pitch changes work well with our editing, Also sudden low to high pitch changes are usually used in horror sequences as the sound of quick change connotes fear.
