 My sequence starts off with an opening establishing shot showing the house.

There is a tracking shot of a car driving. 

It is dark.

It then cuts to the car arriving at the house.

When the car arrives 4 people get out, two parents and two children.

They get out and open the door to the house.

The house is empty as they have just bought it.

The dad slowly opens the door and he hears a scream.

It is all in his head, the family thinks.

The children run in as they are excited

The mum and dad walk in.

The mum goes off to go and see the rooms.

At the entrance, the camera pans to the right and reveals a piece of paper with blood on it.

There is writing on this letter that says something.

The dad then sees a young girl flash before his eyes.

There is creepy music playing in the background and then there is a build-up to the reveal. 

One of the children goes into one of the rooms. 

There is something there that makes her scream.

The sequence ends.

Group meeting

On Friday we met up as a group and presented Kais' idea to luke. The idea was able to be done but we still had more problems with the opening title sequence that we have to fix before we can go with it. We discussed after the meeting how we could fix some of these issues with the opening title sequence. Kis idea was a horror movie set in the peaslake house in the surrey hills.




Group discussion

 On Wednesday we re-pitched our ideas to our group. We all pitched our ideas which were developed more at this point. We ended up choosing Kais' idea as we found the idea the most interesting out of the three. The teacher thought the idea was able to be done so we decided that Kais idea would be the idea that our opening title sequence would be on.



 In media lesson we were taught about shot composition and the different techniques. The first technique we used was called the rule of thirds when the screen is chopped up into three sections horizontally and vertically. Where the lines cross in these shots are the points of interest and make the shot look more balanced and better.


Another part of shot composition is changing the camera height to match the subject.


The first photo of the shoes have the camera placed above them. In the second photo, I moved the phone camera down in order to match the height of the shoes making the photo more interesting. 

We also looked at lighting which was done to make the shot more interesting. I used the tv screen as a side light in this photo.


In this one I am using my laptop screen as a light.

Resarch for sequence fake blood

 I will be researching a tutorial on how to make fake blood for my opening title sequence. My opening title sequence includes to people getting stabbed and is action based so the fake blood for the stabs will be a good thing to research so I will be able to effectivley make fake blood to make it as realistic as possible. I found a youtube video online which highlited a tutorial on how to make fake blood. One of the recipies to make fake blood online. I researched different recipes on how to make fake blood.


The first recipe I looked at was a tutorial using honey. First you get the honey in one container. Then putting one drop of food blue coloring into a separate container, after doing that pour the blue food coloring into the honey to make it gooier. After that red food coloring should be added in order to turn the colour red.


Another recipe I looked at involved using soap. The soap recipe is a recipe that should not be in contact with skin eyes or mouth.

The fist step was to pour the 1/4 cup of  soap into a container and then using red food colouring to get the correct colour.

Full opening title sequence

 My idea is about a man that kills corrupt people in the world and the police are trying to track him down and arrest him.

The opening title sequence will start off with an establishing shot showing a buidling.

The camera zooms into the building and reveals a man in the office. 

The man is dressed in a suit and there are two bodyguards next to him. This shows that this man is in a high power position. 

The camera pans to the room shows him talking. He was talking about all of the evil things he has done before such as organizing countless murders. 

The man is laughing about it and joking about it on the phone.

The camera then zooms in on the man's chest. 

His chest shows his name tag. 

It then cuts to an establishing shot of a house. It zooms inside the house.

It then cuts to a bedroom.

In this bedroom, a man is sleeping.

He wakes up.

His bedroom is filled up with lots of gear and equipment. 

His room is also filled with pictures of all these corrupt people in the world that he hates.

He wakes up and opens his drawer next to him. 

In the drawer, there is a close up on a sheet of paper. 

The sheet of paper is titled, evil people.

It is a long list of all the corrupt people in the world that he has put down on this list.

There are a lot of names crossed out which clearly shows that he has killed many of these people before.

He looks down on his list and there is a name that shares the same name as the nametag of the person in the office. 

It then cuts to the man in the office again. He is just about to start another phone call.

It cuts back to the person in the bedroom. He is gearing up putting on his equipment and getting his weapons. This is where the opening credits start playing as he is gearing up.

It shows him leaving the house and getting into his car.

It cuts to the man in the office again greeting someone on the phone.

It then shows the person who has now arrived at the building, getting out of his car and going in. 

The person enters the building and arrives at the office where he hears someone talking. 

He is hiding right now and trying not to get caught.

The camera pans to the left showing the man in the office on the phone. He is on the phone and is organizing to have someone killed. 

He specifically says to choke the victim to death.

The person that is hiding pulls off an angry facial expression as he is disgusted by the man's actions. 

He accidentally makes a noise and one of the bodyguards goes to search the area.

The bodyguard walks closer to the man hiding and nearly sees him. 

Then suddenly the bodyguard gets stabbed.  

The second bodyguard runs after the man and attempts to kill him by shooting him.

However, the man is too fast and quickly stabs him as well, killing the second bodyguard.

The man in the office then tries to shoot but his gun gets hit out of the way. 

He is then shown crawling away trying to escape. He eventually begs for mercy.

The killer smiles and puts his hand on the corrupt person's neck.

He says you didn't give those people mercy, why should I.

He slowly strangles the person to death. 

He does this intentionally making sure to choke him to death, as the corrupt person had just planned for someone to be choked so he wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.

He stares into his eyes as the life leaves his eyes. 

The man then escapes from the building as the police have been alerted. Before he escapes it shows him crossing off one of the names in his list as he has just successfully killed this corrupt person. 

All this is happening while intense music is being played in the background.
