Second draft

Proof of filming

This is us when we went out filming our opening sequence, one of these was taking in the wooded area the other whilst we were doing the start of the clip

Feedback on first draft

After showing people the opening sequence for our film to people we asked for some feedback, they said that the video was too long for an opening sequence so we should shorten it down to two minutes or less. They also said that when the music stops and it zooms into the sunset that the zoom doesn’t look as good and doesn’t go with the rest of the opening sequence. However when the watched the opening sequence they felt like it had a story to it and wasn’t just random and that it matches the horror theme. Everyone who saw our opening sequence knew it was horror straight away.  When the music ends in our opening sequence after the running scene, our feedback would suggest that we should have some more as the rest of our sequence is in silence. As we put all our name titles over the video and then the title was on its own screen it looked a little messy, they suggested that we put it over the video like the other titles, or change all the titles to be the same.

Make-up

We put the zip over our antagonist’s lips and then we put tape to hold it in place. In the triangle made by the zip, put the blood onto some tissue and then put it inside the triangle. Cover the zipper in the some blood and add some extra to her face, so that it drips down slightly. When we did this it didn’t work out as well as we wanted as the zip wouldn’t stay into place and we didn’t have the right amount of makeup to make it blend in with her skin colour. The person that we used was allergic to glue therefore we had to use tape this made it even harder to blend in with the rest of her face. However as you can only see her face for quick flashes it isn’t obvious that there is a clear problem.
