Group Opening Sequence

1) Exactly what is going to happen on screen.
- The camera will be focusing on the table and its arrangement.
- About 7 seconds into the scene, the mans hand will gradually come down to light the final candle.
- The camera doesn’t move, the hand is just now in view.
- He picks up the knife and fork which is laying also on the table, and we see his arm elevate away from the camera.
- The music starts to play at this moment and the credits fade on top of the scene.
- The camera steadily moves up (over the shoulder shot) to the man. At first the camera is shaky but it soon finds its place and is at a standstill.
- The man starts to have a conversation and the camera is looking directly at him.
- He then goes to pick up a bottle of wine wish is centered likewise on the table, the camera follows his arm down the table and afterwards a fade-in-fade-out is used.

The location changes

- The camera is still focusing on him pouring the wine and the music is still playing.
- The man looks exactly at the camera, and then it comes off the tripod and is a handheld shot.
- It slowly rises and more credits are shown on top of the scene.
- The camera finally pans around the setting until it is eventually in contact with the girl who is tied up.
- The final credits are shown as the scene slowly fades out.

2) Sketches and rough ideas of how the credits are going to look.

Although the font cannot be exact to how it is going to be shown on screen, here are some rough drawings of how we want the credits to come into sight. We want an old-fashioned style font and have already agreed, a similar one to ‘Zapfino’ from LiveType will be appropriate. This is because we wanted our film to be based not in the present tense, as mid to late 1900s is the time era our film revolves around. The credits will be faded onto the scene and be a bold black font, we thought this would have a better effect, as the audience will be watching throughout, instead of a cut away to the text being shown on a blank screen. As a result the tense atmosphere will be present throughout. 

3) Ideas for the music/sound.
It is essential that we get the music and the sound of the opening sequence precise; referring back to our questionnaires the majority of the people thought the music was the most imperative factor. Although we haven’t decided on the specific song we are going to use throughout the duration, we have agreed that the music is going to be slow, comforting and fairly soft. This is because we want the audience to have a reverse feeling to what is actually happening on screen, so when the location does transform it is unexpected, meaning narrative enigma will be created a lot more effectively.
