Filming our opening sequence
Tolu Lawal

Maria and I are about half way through our filming. We have encountered several obstacles along the way. We have had problems with finding actors for our opening sequence. We have decided our bullies should be male and to keep our main character female. Also the weather has been a major problem for us as it has continuously been changing so some of the shots we filmed on different days cannot be incorporated into our film as they look too different. In order to avoid this, Maria and I have decided to film a scene a day.

Sounds for our opening sequence

I watched a few trailers of thrillers and listened to the change in the sound as the story got more exiting. I found that they made very little use of popular music and the music fitted with the scene. It was synchronous and became more exciting and tense at the same pace as the scene. This is going to help Maria and I when we editing our video and adding all the music into it. Our music will also have to be synchronous and help to portray the current happenings of each scene.

Changing ideas

Maria and I have once again decided to change the some of the idea for our opening sequence. We have decided to change the gender of our actors from male to female. This is because finding an older male character was proving very difficult so we decided to employ female characters as we found it easier to find an older looking actress to play the part of the woman. This changes the bullies into younger female characters. also we have decided to have a female Psychiatrist because all the other characters in th The main story line of our opening sequence is going to stay the same. Also we have decided that there will be no murder scene any longer, we have finalised the story board and have decided on all of our shots.
