Vito - Afro Wig Prop

Halfway through filming I got a haircut  and we haven't finished filming yet. This is a problem as half the opening sequence will show me with an afro, and the other half will have me without. To counter this problem I have decided to purchase a wig of the same kind of size.

(The wig in the picture is not an accurate representation of the wig that i'll be buying, it's just an example)

Vito - Music For Opening Sequence

The opening sequence is going to have two different tracks in it. Both made by me. The first track is made to build suspense, so it starts off quite calm and slow and then slowly picks up the pace as it gets further into the track. It's also very deep music, which is what I was aiming for as everyone in my group wanted the movie to come off seriously.

Vito - Opening sequence credits

These are the credits that I created for the opening sequence. The names are all made up as we aren't allowed to use our real names in the credits due to the school disallowing the use of last names for safety purposes. I chose a classic 60s kind of font so it suits the time the movie is meant to be set in. It's a very fancy font with a 3D kind of look to it. I did this by creating a shadow behind the text, turning the opacity up to 100%, and moving the position of it. This gives the effect of a 3D look to the text.

Daniel - Filming and Editing

On Monday 9th January, we went to Brent Cross to film, I have so far edited around 40 seconds of the opening sequence with only basic titles to understand the idea for when we input the more advanced titles into our sequence.

Daniel - Sound Effects

To prepare for our opening sequence I downloaded a bunch of sound effects. These included, screams for background, footsteps. heavy breathing and many more.
This will allow us to create tension in the scenes.

Daniel - Techniques to use in Opening Sequence

I watched a Music Video by Yungen with the song "Cuffin' Season" and I noticed techniques that were used in the Music Video that I would like to use in our opening sequence.

Negative Space (0:02 - 0:12) - This caught my eye straight away and gave me a clear vision of what it looks like on screen and why it would work so well.

Close up (0:18 - 0:20) - Close up on Yungen's face to show his emotion and what he may be thinking - We may use this in our opening sequence to show emotions of characters in the sequence.

Non - Diegetic Sound (0:24 - 0:29) - The heartbeat used to show his feeling. We want to use this for the music scene, with it being diegetic in the boss' place and non-diegetic in the action scene.

Overall it was a good music video and it definitely allowed me to think more about more ideas or to confirm old ones to implement into our opening sequence.
