Font

We decided on the font we wanted to use, although he had drawn up an idea we found it hard to do on photoshop so we looked the internet for a font and we found this font on dafont.com
called Pulse it works perfectly for our film. Everything is starting to take place :)

Looking into other opening title sequences.

I decided to look into other opening title sequences to get an understanding into what they should be or look like. The Sixth Sense opening title sequence that I looked at, was creepy and setted the atmosphere it was a point of view looking at buildings, the font they used was simple but as it dissolved it created a spooky atmosphere. It was also in black and white which also helped to create tension and hold the audience attention. I am think of doing my sequence in black and white.

Work of Kyle Cooper

After researching Kyle Cooper, I started looking into work he has done, the title sequence he created for Spiderman I really enjoyed not only did i enjoy it because its one of my favourite films but because of the font and pictures he used. The font made me feel like it was flies trapped in a spider web they were spaced out with the actors names in captial letters to make them stand out they also fly away at the end which adds to the feeling of trapped flies that I get. The colours used are black and white with red and green. The music catches the audience attention.

What's Next

Location: A flat in Dartford, it had two bedrooms and is a modern flat, we choose this flat as it sets the mood for the lonely doctor. It sets the tone for a bachelor pad, and is ideal for a doctor living on his own.
Costume and Props: The doctor's main costume is a suit however he will also be wearing a white jacket as this is associated with a doctor. He will also be wearing a name badge that we will editing in final cut pro, to show a person's name and their position. Another prop will be a sleeping pill bottle which we will also be editing in final cut pro. We will also have a licence plate that will have the name of the film (TR4C3s).
Characters: In our title sequence there is two characters the Doctor and a female ghost. Daniel Pye will be playing the Doctor, and I will be playing the ghost.
Music: Our music will hopefully be recorded by Ian Elmslie on the piano, it will be a bed time story as this relates to the situation of the film.
