So I decide to us free demo's from sound cloud which the owners have consulted to the use of their music in my movie. Also, all the music featured has been for the advertisement of the owner of the music. I used tracks such as "Because I can Kill" & "No Excuses" by Robert Luna to create a form of mystery and cryptic element. However, I used "TSL (Take so Long)" by Pride to show the emotional connection between the boyfriend (Bolaji) and his girlfriend (Zara) when they were have having a conversation over the phone.

Mise En Scene
Setting/Location: I decided to set my opening sequence firstly in the soft seating area in the sixth form block of Rainham School for Girls (Derwent Way, Gillingham, Kent ME8 0BX). Originally, I wanted to set my opening sequence in my home, which would have given the idea of a relaxed homely environment. However, I decided to film it within the school to create a more professional appeal. By setting it in this environment I have been able to give the illusion of importance of what the men are discussing, which means the audience would want to pay more attention to the opening sequence. The second location I used was the field/ forest of the school. I did this out of sheer luck I originally wanted to shoot the woodland scenes in the Walderslade Woods because it has a very ominous appeal. However, I decided too use the school woods because e filming within the woodlands would have required a lot of artificial lighting due to the darkness created by the trees arching over. in addition to this the weather was too good to pass up on the fog added mystery without completely handicapping the ability of seeing/clarity of the footage. |

Rochester Castle : Rochester, Kent ME1 1SW
Lighting: I used artificial lighting in the first location because it was a confined location, which without being heavily lit would not be visible to the camera. however, I made sure the lighting reflect the right amount of ambience to encourage the boy to share his feelings with his friend. If I was able to use to reshoot my opening sequence I would want to use equipment such as soft boxes, barn doors, umbrellas and a flash head reflector because it would eliminate any grain in my movie.Costumes
Best Friend: A Burton Suit , Alexander Wang Smart Shirt, a M&S Tie and a Pair of Salvatore Feragamo Plain Toe Derby shoes. I chose this outfit because I wanted him to reflect wealth and formality. By him wearing this outfit he is unconsciously placing him self higher up the chain/ corporate ladder.
Boyfriend: A pair of black H&M skinny legged chinos with a black Armani T-shirt, a pair of Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Black Canvas and a blue(teal) vintage parka jacket. I picked this to give the illusion of him being dressed down and open. by dressing him like this the audience is able to see a contrast between him and his friend. However, his shoes demonstrate his class and that he is abler to afford designer brands.
Girlfriend: A pair of Primark acid wash high waisted jeans, a New look print scarf, a Matalan penguin jumper, a Matalan Green Parka and a pair of white All Star Converses. I decided to choose these clothing's because they do not signify any form of drastic wealth. Fonts
I looked at various fonts, and one thing I noticed among all of them which was a common factor was the lack of clarity. A lot of the fonts appeared to be aesthetically pleasing but where un-distinguishable: which meant that the audience would not be able to even read the title. This would play a key factor in to whether or not people wanted to watch the film or not. For example by using the font 'Outline' I would only be directing my film to Mostly pre/teenage girls as they would believe the film would be about varsity/cheer leading topics. I decided to look at fonts such as 'Centurio' because they are universal and have no set age groups and also is very clear.
I then went on to look for the colour in which i wanted to set my font in. i decided to look for a font which would portray the thriller theme and would also sit well on a black background. I decided to choose red because it is a universal symbol for emotions such as hatred, anger, warning or death. All the Characteristics which it represented where all in my film. I also, decided to go with a black background because of it represents bad people, mystery, or secrecy. These where also factors which played a part in my film.
I researched into Titles and there orders and found the common trend of this order:
