We know that he has a mental illness however we do not actually see this develop in the opening sequence. Also known as the Main Character.

8. Shooting schedule

This is our shooting schedule. By budgeting our time properly we can remain on task and get the shot we need when we need them. We've found creating a shooting schedule really does help us get an understanding of the time we have.

3. Shot ideas

By not revealing the characters identity it leaves the audience questioning to whether this character in the cutaway is actually the main protagonist. We could reveal his identity at the end with a graphic match.

We planned to use a crane at the very beginning in order to disorientate the audience. The crane will set a pace that will make the audience feel comfortable with the main character.

A close up will allow the audience to build a relationship with the character. He can express the emotions we want the characters to feel in his face.

5. Storyboards

This is a short animation that we created in iMovie that we thought would give a feel of how our real opening sequence would look like. Creating this has given us a clearer view on timing, framing and the order of our shots. This is beneficial because it will save us valuable time when filming, and was also an opportunity to get to grips with iMovie.

4. Sound research

Idea's for the score :-
 


This piece of music is very different from the previous two, but could be a unique approach because it is slower, calmer and challenges what is actually happening on the screen in our Title Sequence which is based on the Thriller genre. I also think that this piece would work well because it has deep and meaningful lyrics, and our main character is suffering from a mental illness, so there is a strong link.

6. Props, costume and loction ideas.

Props-

A phone that the main protagonist can use at the beginning.

The usual house furniture will need to be moved around in order to get the best shot.

The piano used will allow us to have a more extensive range of items in the mise-en-scene.

Costume-

Smart casual wear.
 A combination of collared shirt (such as a dress shirt or polo shirt), cotton trousers (such as khakis or blue, green, brown, or black trousers) with a belt. Jeans are not acceptable business casual attire. A blazer or business jacket can optionally be added. This will assert the status of the male character as we dont want him to seem like a complete degenerate.

Pyjama's.
Consist of a jacket-and-trousers combination made of soft fabric, such as flannel. This will show the main character in his natural environment.
