Presentation and Feedback

The devils task from Aaron Persico

We had to deliver a pitch for our opening sequence in order for it to go ahead.

Horror - there are good generic conventions suggested

Story-line - we got asked what will be the location for the therapy session?

• the location of the therapy session will be in Aaron's house, also we will represent that Jake is possessed by using different color contact lenses to represent that he has changed.
• Ben and Grace come into the scene by talking and telling Margaret what is happening with Jake.
• We decided to go with a therapist as this relates to the paranormal/horror theme, this is because a therapist would know about possession and other weird things.

Production Update!

Here is a picture of some of our editing footage

However....

Filming update: After we looked at our footage on Premier, we have decided to change our story line because we felt that the story line wasn't strong enough, and the location wasn't very reliable for us to use frequently.

Now we have produced a new story line, this will mainly be based on the Tarot card theme of the opening sequence, but the therapist scene will be removed as we feel that it reveals too much information for just an opening sequence as well as the location being unreliable for us to work with. The opening sequence will include the camera focusing mostly on the tarot cards with a range of different angles, with the credits over these shots and suspenseful music over these shots as well.
