Since the last showing our Title Sequence it has improved a lot. We have much more footage which completes the narrative. we have improved upon some of the original footage by re-shooting and we have experimented with multiple different locations in order to find one that is well suited to the genre and narrative. The sequence flows well alongside the soundtrack and provides a good insight into the film. Despite this, there are still improvements that we can make.

Shooting #3:
The change of location and narrative was really successful when shooting the ending scene for the third time. We used the space well to explore the story more and to show the control of the protagonist while also connoting more promiscuity. It consisted mainly of mid shots because the camera wouldn't focus if it was too close to an item. This was frustrating because we had planned to have an extreme close up while the drink was being spiked because it would've been quite visually pleasing to see the pattern that was created. However, we had to settle for a mid shot instead.
As well as changing the narrative, we also changed who played the male victim. We had still planned to use Kaan Gunduz. However, on the day we had planned to film he was unavailable. Therefore, we had to adjust quickly and George Loizou agreed to step in. He fit the character description just as well as Kaan did and he was relatively easy to direct and work with.
Production Log:
Location: Maddie H's house
Who: Maddie H, Niamh and George
Equipment: DSLR and Tri-Pod
Costume & Make-up: Black Dress with lace straps, Black dress with cut out dress, fishnets, Black heels, Red lipstick.
black suit, white shirt, black tie, black work shoes.
Props: Wine glass, whiskey glass, A pipit, Blackcurrant juice, A wine bottle, A beverage, A synthetic flower and red lipstick.
Purpose: Shoot Victims death scene
Duration: 2 hours.
The past two times we filmed we had used Kaan as our male victim. However, since he was unavailable at the time we had planned to film we had to quickly alternate and we chose to use George. Although, this meant that any of the previous shots we had, we were no longer able to use. It was the only possible solution we had at the time otherwise we would've had to reschedule shooting which would've restricted the amount of time we had to correct any errors.
We re-shot everything according to or new plan. However myself and Maddie were tasked with the role of cinematography in this shoot because Maddie B and Kelly's school schedule restricted them from filming with us at this time.

Typography Chosen:
The typography that we have decided to include are:
The opening credits/cast member names:
The company name:
The film title:
The sound chosen:
The soundtrack we have decided to use is Quirquincho. It is quite simplistic. However, it has a dark undertone which helps to signify the thriller genre. we will have to adapt the soundtrack in terms of the speed in order for it to sync in with the visuals. We feel this is the better option over Gordo Jose, which we were considering, because the sound of the drums are a lot less prominent.
Sound Poll:
Sound:
We found an artist that has copyright free songs. We decided on four songs of the songs by that artist that we think fit the genre of the title sequence well.
These are:
-Gordo Jose
-Quirquincho
-Gracias
As a way to decide between these four songs and which one should be the soundtrack, we're going to conduct a poll in which people can choose the song that they feel is the most suited for the title sequence.
