Post Production

We had a lot of trouble getting all of our title sequence edited and finished in time to show it due to lack of time, the servers being down and it not saving multiple times. However, after we stayed behind after school and working hard in study periods we finally got it done ready to show. I am personally extremely proud of it and I think it's successful and I think we stayed true to the storyboards and our original idea and vision. However, we did change certain things, such as the nursery rhyme in the background. When we eventually put the nursery rhyme on the video, we thought that instead of making the title sequence more creepy and eerie, the rhyme made it cheesy and it just didn't work. We did make significant changes from our storyboards as we cut many shots out including a shot about a foot in the stream because we realised that it didn't look good.

Production

During the Christmas break we started and finished filming our title sequence, we got in all done on a very cold, long, stressful day. We had made sure that we had all the equipment we needed, such as camera, tri-pod, extra water for the stream and more. As we got to the Woods, we realised that we didn't need the extra water as we found a usable stream and instead used the water to clean off our muddy boots.      ---->
We also faced a lot of problems when it came down to burning the dolls house and pictures but eventually we resolved the issue by moving into a less windy area. Filming in the woods was quite eventful as we faced the issues of  how to get the right shot. We often referred back to our storyboards when we couldn't remember what to do.

Opening Sequence Progress

At the moment, I feel as though our work is going well. After the panic of thinking we wouldn't be able to complete the pitch idea under pressure and in time to present it, we successfully pitched our film. After we were given feedback about our pitch, we made improvements and were happier about it. We are now on our way to creating our title sequence.

We made an audience profile, however we struggled because we were unsure about how to do it correctly and what to actually include. Then to help us think of different ideas for our sequence we created a brainstorm and then decided on the best ideas. 

We've already begun discussing ideas for the sequence and also creating some storyboards for it.
