This is the sound track we have decided to use throughout the beginning of our opening sequence. We believe this is the best suitable sound track as it heightens the tension and seta the right atmosphere for our audience which was our intentions. This should be successfully achieved with this specific sound track.

Production Company Examples

Before we start to create our Production Company introduction, we thought it was best to do some secondary research before creating our own in order to give ourselves more of a guidance when producing the introduction. 

Here is a video showing multiple Production Company introductions, we particularly liked 'Intrepid Pictures' (1:18-1:25). We found that this was best suited to our genre as it used dark colours, such as black and red; red representing blood, violence, death etc. The music was eery and very sudden which gave off an uncomfortable impact that we would like to accomplish with our Production Company.
We found that the shorter the better, as it still gives a base introduction as to what the upcoming is.
We've come to the conclusion that we may need to slightly change our Production Company; making it short but affective as from our research this is the best example to help us when making ours.

Ideas for our location

We have had a group discussion about where we think we should film the opening scene; we have chosen to locate it in a public toilet in order to achieve our intentions of making it a horror genre. We want the setting to include the background being dull and unhygenic emphasising the infection of our protagonist. We looked at a variety of different locations where we could set the scene and atmosphere correctly and agreed upon this as a group, deciding that we will film in our school toilets. We chose this because it is easily accessible and fits our genre perfectly. These are our camera shots that will be included in our filming. However, we have also placed pictures of other locations that we looked at, but didn't fit our category.






One of our first ideas was to film in a house using one of our own bathrooms. An advantage of this was that we were in the comfort of our own home which meant that we could film constantly without any distractions, this would improve our product levels and how efficiently we worked.
On the other hand, this would not have been compatible because it was small and we wouldn't have of been able to get a range of shots that we required, such as a close up shot and over-the-shoulder shot. As we experimented doing this, it resulted in the background including the bath and shower, which looked too comforting and not fit for our genre.





A second location we considered was another one of our own. Again, it consists of the same advantages as above but in addition it has an antique affect to it, representing a haunted atmospheric location.
Despite achieving this atmosphere, we found that it was too cramped and would have of limited our shots.





We travelled to another location where we considered our filming to take place, however it had too much  of a modern day affect to it which wouldn't have of set the right atmosphere for our audience.
Although, one advantage of this location was that it didn't have a mirror in front of the sink which allowed us to use close up shots, directly opposite our protagonist, which would have shown full emotion and expression in our characters face.






This was another one of our locations that we considered, although it had the same advantage as Westfield's in London where there was no mirror blocking our shots, a disadvantage was that this was one of the main bathrooms available in Bromley, The Glades as this is a busy shopping centre; we came to the conclusion that this wouldn't be appropriate to film in as we wouldn't of been able to film consistently which would of affected our productiveness.

Group Discussion

Today we consulted with our media teacher about our opening sequence. As we were discussing our idea, we were told that our first opening shot was effective and that it would be a good idea to concentrate on that being our main focus, and our opening credits would come after.
We realised that it would be too long showing the daily routine shot after the credits, so we decided that we would include this aspect into a jump cut edit with our credits. This is similarly done in the film "se7en".

Below is a rough outline of what we would hope our opening sequence will look like. We hope to expand our ideas and create a more exciting opening sequence.

Production company logo and name

Our group thought of different ideas for our production company name and logo. We wanted it to be authentic for the genre yet subtle and realistic.

Firstly we thought about our production name. We wanted a word that associated with our film. We thought of words such as: Riot Production, Revolt Production, Smoke Productions and Twisted Productions as it is fitting for our film and our audience. We then eliminated the names we thought seemed less relevant so we decided to call our company ‘Riot Productions ‘. Riot Productions represents and emphasizes our film genre we want to target, also it attracts the target audience we are looking for too.

After choosing our company name, we then had to discuss how we would want to display our themes. One of our ideas were tap pouring blood, with the blood coming from the tap, it would spell out the company productions name. We also decided that the company name would appear in a special effect with fire behind the name and there being fire crackling noises. We also came up with a smoke bomb or grenade being thrusted onto the screen and the smoke appears behind the bomb. And finally we came up with a swirly smoke effect in colour which fades out, letting the company name appear in smoke and then dispersing whilst the name appears, crackling fire is heard; we decided to go with this theme as its subtle and creative, it also leads to a mystery which is resembles in our film.
