Recent Filming and Editing

During the last week we have faced various weather problems which have meant that we have not been able to film any empty shots of places outside. Due to the snow we could not film outside because the rest of the parts we have filmed have been in dry weather.

However we have managed to do some more editing and have thought about out titles and credits. I have looked at some thriller film openings and focused on looking at how the title and credits appear. From this I found that in most film openings the font of the titles is fairly small and the colour of the font is usually black. Therefore we decided to make our title and credits in a black font and the font we have chosen it quite scary which we feel suits our opening and movie. We are going to have the credits and title in the bottom corners of the film as we feel this looks professional and does not take too much of the focus away from the opening.
As well as editing we have been able to film a few more short empty shots. We have now filmed a few empty places. The places we have filmed are: the canteen, a classroom, roads, a field, a park, a forest area and an alleyway. We are going to make sure we film many more empty shots to make our opening believable and more realistic. We hope to also film in a church, a shop, more roads, a river, a highstreet and a babys room.
