This opening sequence from the film called 'Shrooms' is very similar to how we wanted our opening sequence to look like.
We have used similar panting noises, similar setting and footage.
This film really inspired us to create our storyboard.
The film cutting and editing is sharp and quick, however it has longer phrases to create the tension of some clips.
Take a look,

8th Febuary, Music
Today we carried on editing and We have built upon the footage we have already got. We have had guidance from both teachers on how to improve it and what the pace is like, if we are using the right shots in the right order, and so far, I think everything should be good. There were a few differences between our group however we worked through that and managed to find some music to use in the title sequence.
This music is called 'ghostpocalypse'.
Today we introduced some effects to the footage, we have decided on some that we like and where we could use them. We are aware we do not want to do it over the top on the effects because that would undermine the atmosphere of the footage and make it incredibly predictable. However there are certain effects that do look good,and work, also make the footage more realistic. For example on the scene where Dulcie is running as this shot is already shaky cam, however we added a slow motion effect and slowed the pace down to create tension.

Editing
A week today, on Friday we got some more editing done. Tim was a little late to the lesson, but we managed to log and capture the shots form Wednesday's filming and start the final editing.
We all cooporated well and we all got involved with the editing, with including our own opioins and views. There may have been some creative differences but we worked through them and have hopefully used all of our ideas in the project and this will be shown with our Final Outcome.
We wrote all the shots down in order of what we wanted so that if anything went wrong, we had the shots already to put back again.

Final plans of editing
In Wednesday lesson we all had a situation where we decided we needed more indoor shots to contrast with the outdoor running, and so we had to grab a camera and finish filming in the college. It was our only option to be completed by Friday the 12Th deadline. Our filming occurred in 4 stages; one second half of a media lesson, where we got some footage of the 'missing persons board'.Another we went off site and managed to shoot the main scenes of the project like the running and the train and Tim in the forest etc. Another time we filmed at the back of the college field, these are the shots with the bags and the Natalie Grey tag, where Dulcie and Lainey are talking.
On the Wednesday we filmed some more indoor shots of Tim in the dark room, developing some pictures, and of Tim's grubby hands. We also shot some footage of Tim drawing on the missing persons board.
All of these little indoor shots will hopefully just break the sequence up and disorientate the viewers slightly, which is the feel of the footage we are going for.
We do still have the final editing, effects and credits to place in and only have a week and half left. We are certainly feeling the pressures of the project and there has been some slight tension in the group, but this hasn't effected us. We are going to hopefully come and do some editing in our Free's so we can move forward with the project.

Film credits
To find which order the film credits needed to appear in the screen, Dulcie and i went on YouTube and typed in "catch me if you can". This is a good and clear example that shows you what film credits and order to have them in.
It is shown below.
Common opening credits order
While there are numerous variations most opening credits use some variation of the basic order noted within:
(NAME OF THE STUDIO)
- name of the studio that is distributing the film and may or may not have produced it (Buena Vista, Columbia, Lions Gate, Universal, etc.)
(NAME OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY)
- name of the production company that actually made the film
- name of the investment groups or companies that financed a substantial part of the film (usually credited as "in association with")
(PRODUCER NAME) PRODUCTION or/and (director only) A FILM BY (DIRECTOR or PRODUCER NAME)
- director's or producer's first credit, often "a film by XY or "a XY film"
STARRING
- principal actors, ( Sometimes the stars' and director's credits will be reversed, depending on the star's deal with the studio)
(FILM'S TITLE)
- name of the film

Captureing and editing
On Friday the 29th we captured all our shots on the computer. After this we started to do a rough edit. we are halfway through editing.
Lucky all 4 of us have been present the last week or 2. This has made it very simple to film and have all our group ideas involved.
Today is Monday the 1st and we are editing. We don't need to film any more. This gives us the chance to spend more time editing.
Tim is absent to day, as he is very ill. However Lainey and rich both received a messaged and phone call from him this morning.

Filming 2
On Monday the 25th of January, we went of collage site and filmed some footage for our main task. We now think we have all the correct footage we need to log it and have a rough edit of it. From then we will know if we need anymore footage or re-capture.
