During this week, we have continued to edit the film opening and have now completed the complete rough edit. We then consulted the teacher to gain approval. We got many opinions from peers and other media teachers who gave us guidance on how to improve our editing and mentioned that we needed to brighten up some of our shots.

Meeting (; Week 5
Today is the first day back after our half term break. This week we will be re-shooting some of our missing shots. We have also got together as a group and watched some more opening sequences for more inspiration and ideas. We have now completed the rough edit of the first half of our opening sequence.
This week we have also had to be ruthless with some of our editing, cutting out a huge chunk of our film. This is simply because the opening sequence would have gone way over the two minuite time limit.

Meeting (; Week 4
This week we have started our editing process. At the moment we are completing the rough edit for the final and complete edit.
Whilst doing this we have discovered that some shots are missing and one scene will have to be re-shot. In addtion, we have had to leave out many shots from within different scenes as the overall footage was too long. Therefore we have decideed to meet again at the film location and get the correct shots for more editing next week.

Meeting (; Week 3
During this weekend, we decided on the final location where our opening sequence will be shot. We decided that it would be filmed at a house giving the impression that it is a believable setting and would relate to many viewers.
We also decided that the film idea based around our opening sequence will be called "Life after Death". Everyone in the group agreed that this was an appropriate title, we also consulted our teacher about the name and she agreed that it was a good idea that was suitable for the story.

Character Description!!
The main aim of our characterisation was to ensure that the audience sympathised with the character and that the character portrayed hints of mystery due to the murderous outcome of the opening. We tried to do this by the characters gestures and facial expressions. The character is rebellious but also sweet and self-conscious. We tried to portray that the character - named Anna, is in a changing situation which through the opening will become more dramatic.
The protaganist is wearing a dress as the previous night she was out with friends partying in her rebellious nature. Her hair was made to look messy due to the murder that took place. We made the character have pale skin and lips to play a significant hint that in fact the character is dead. She also had very dark eyes to stress the mystery of the character and the scene.We also used make-up on her neck to show how she was murdered - strangled. However we did this subtly so that the viewer/audience would perhaps notice it but not realise its relivance until the end.
Furthermore, another cast member of this opening sequence is the mother of the main character. Even though her performance is minor she is still a significant part of the opening sequence as she is needed to put the storyline together. She is seen by the audience as a caring mother who is grieving over the death of her daughter.

Character shots!!
Part of the character photos. Olivia's character (Anna/daughter) face and shoulder shot and close up of the neck, to show she has been strangled!!
The second shot shows the characters dark eye make-up, pale skin and pale lips. It also shows her messy hair. All these factors hint to the viewer how the character was perhaps killed.

Storyboard!!
This is our second storyboard.
The first storyboard was used in our filming process. However, as we had to cut and edit out a lot of the footage based on our fist storyboard we decided to make a new one shown here.
As there are no artists in our group, we found it quite hard to get our amazing ideas down on paper, because of this some of the shots in our filming aren't actually on the storyboard as we added them in whilst filming
