The title of the film is in Red writing on a black background so that it stands out from the rest of the titles which consist of a black background with white writing.
All of the frames have a different image from the opening scene in 5 different locations that we set our piece in; 2 frames show in the boiler room, another two show in the nature reserve, one other shows under the stage, a different one shows a hand at a back door and the final one shows the scene in the bedroom. All these settings are dingy and dark to set the atmosphere for the movie.
in our movie we used numerous props consisting of, masking tape, fake blood, bin liners and make up. These are all used to assist us in creating the atmosphere and tension that we wanted our opening scene to portray. For costume we decided to use numerous different costumes for different settings as it is meant to be a dream and set at different times on different days and someone wouldn't be waring the same clothes each and every day.
One of our group members Hayden Simmons decided to be the actor in the film as we had to substitute the actress we had lined up at short notice. Which left myself and another member of the group, Zak Wattiez, to do the camera work. We set the camera up at each location with a tripod so that the camera would stay steady for us to be able to film each shot. All of the editing of the film was mainly down to my two group members Hayden Simmons and Zak Wattiez as we had problems with uploading our film because of the high quality of the camera content, it had to be converted. We then had problems with the programme we were using and had to transfer all of the film clips onto another log-on to be able to edit them. After we had done this my group members done the editing in their free periods and when I was off poorly. They used the programme premier elements to upload the film onto and then edit the film adding in the titles and effects that made our opening more effective for it's audience.
The following shows how our film was edited using Premier Elements:
The story of our film is about a man who has a split personality disorder and we try to represent him as the victim right through the film so that the audience sympathise with him until the very end when they find out he's actually the killer. The opening scene sets this up because it see's a serious of events in his dream where he looks like he's a victim and he's been kidnaped, kept hostage and tortured.
Our genre for the film is a horror and the opening suggests this by the disturbing and horrible things that are happening to the man in his dreams.
There is only one character in our piece and he is introduced in many different situations all at once as he has flashes and repetitive part of dreams all the time of himself. His dreams see him as a victim which is what we want the opening and main part of the film to portray.
We used a rewind feature so that at the end when the dream is coming to an end all of the main parts of his dream rewind and seem to undo themselfs before he wakes up. we also used a fast-play feature which made a slow clip play in a fast version so it looked slightly distorted and not in sync to what it would normally and also looks effective for the image that we want to come across to our audeince.
