Titles Map:

To make sure that our filming goes productively we need to ensure we know exactly what we are doing. This is why we made a titles map which will show us how many seconds we need to film each shot for, where the shots will be edited to and to see how smoothly our story-line runs.

This is our Titles Map:

Shot For Shot: Final Opening sequence.

To make filming a little easier i have made a shot for shot guide of what will happen in our sequence, This will make doing the storyboard and the titles map easier also:

Communications: Actors.

In order to film our sequence we have to find some actors. I asked my friend Hayleigh Brampton to play psycho girl by text.

This is the exact conversation:

Connie: ''Hayleigh, will you act in our media Thriller opening sequence? We're filming over the christmas holidays. You'd be needed for two days, a rehearsal day and a shooting day?"

Hayleigh: "What do you need me to do?"

Connie: "I need you to ask as a girl, who half ways through the scene dresses as a man. This girl then kills a man. The locations are in Stone and Dartford. The fasttrack stops at Stone and we will al commute together"

Hayleigh: "Sure, of course i will"

Connie;"Thank you! I will inform you when i find out the dates/times"

Test Shots: Actors

When planning our final Thriller opening we needed to get photo's of the actors we will be using. In the opening scene we are introduced to two of the main characters. Here are the photo's of the actors:

 Actor 1- Psycho Girl:

 Actor 2- Detective:

I chose Actor 1 to play psycho-girl because she has scary eyes and in our sequence there is a emphasis on the eyes. She looks rather old which is bonus because the characters are in there mid 20's. I know that Actor 1 who's name is Hayleigh has lots of previous acting experience which is important when making our sequence look professional.

I chose Actor 2 to play the detective as he looks very business-like in a suit which suits the character. The actor's name is Kieran and he also has a lot of previous acting experience. 

Permission For Location Use:

As part of planning we have to get permission to film in the locations we have chosen.

I have been given verbal permission by the owner of the bathroom to be able to shoot in it providing that we do no damage or stain any other the counters ect. Permission agreement given by Sharon Stribling on the 8th December 2011. Any damaged equipment must be replaced.

This is the bathroom:

Group Meeting: 1st Dec

As part of group planning it is important that as a group we meet up regularly to discuss and plan. This is what we did when we met up:

Connie and Katie are working on The Usual Suspects: Title tagging, whereas Chloe is editing the shots from the remake using Final Cut Pro.
