Eye created a schedule for location scouting day and or filming day. This made sure that we finished our film opening by the deadlines.

The timetables which Eye made.

8. Risk Assessment

Non-Diegetic music:

Diegetic music:
Paper scribbling

Paper cutting

Water droplets 

6. Casting

Our initial actress requirements were:

• Hispanic: we referenced from thriller genre films such as Mama(2013) and Julia's Eyes(2010) in which we found that hispanic actresses and actors were very successful 
• Thin: this would make it easier for us to enhance the bone features for the backchat where we see the spine
• Long haired: provides a sense of secrecy in shots where hair partially covers the character's face 

Our chosen cast:

Tailia Boonkul (Tan)

Unfortunately Tan was very busy with school work during the week we were filming. As a result we spontaneously had to change our actress to Claire.

Claire Lu (Claire)

Claire kindly stepped into to play our main character as she has 2 out of 3 of our requirements. We also decided that using an asian actress would give a unique feel to our opening.

5. Inspiration : Fonts and credits

Here we found examples of fonts in film opening of both we liked and dislikes to see what elements of the different types works and which didn't. By doing so we are able to adapt elements which we liked into our own film opening.

Examples we disliked: 
Silence of the lambs 

• White boarder around the text makes it become cartoon like.
• Bold, does not blend in with the background
• The position of the text mean the intention was for it to standout

Examples we enjoyed.

Interstellar

• The spaceship toy has connotations of what the film may be about
• The text blends in with the colours present in the shot.
• The font which we assume is Linotype Didot® is crisp and clear. Which provides an elegant feeling.

Westworld(HBO)

• Monochromatic
• Clean and crisp
• Close up shots builds up to the overall image
• Simple font - goes along with the theme of the film opening/film

4. Creating a character

Character

In today's lesson we looked into characters with a similar concept to the old lady we aim to create. This would allow us to observe how the message of a person with an obsession with youth is conveyed.

SILENCE OF THE LAMBS : (Buffalo Bill)
-kills women for their skin to make woman suit

-wants to become a woman

-has a workroom in basement

-dress up as woman

TANGLED : (Mother Gothel)

traps and keeps rapunzel in tower to use her power to stay YOUTHFUL

SNOW WHITE&THE HUNTSMAN:

(Evil Queen)

-Captures young women in her kingdom to drain their youthfulness

-Be Immortal, Young, and beautiful forever

ORPHAN : (Esther)

-Looks like a young girl (9 years old)

-Is actually 33 years old

3. Overall Mood

We wanted to create an overall mood-board after discussing our ideas to make sure we are on the same track.
