Example sound clip for sequence (made on GarageBand by Shauna)

Soundclip by user375308

This is a short sample Shauna made on GarageBand to experiment with the type of sound we would hear in our final edit of the opening sequence. We wanted the sound to be different to the typical horror sounds you heard in a horror film, so she combined a variety of 'suspense' and 'ambient' sounds that were defaulted from GarageBand.

Shooting Schedule

Shooting Schedule

This is a list of shots that we were planning to use in our opening sequence that I made. We had to state specific detail about each shot, including whether the shot was going to be filmed indoors or outdoors, the time of day and if there were to be any actors in this shot.

This is the pitch Beth made to give companies more information about our opening sequence and ideas. 

Storyboard for Opening Sequence

 This is the original storyboard that I drew for our opening sequence to help plan our shots and camera angles/movements etc. This will later be made into an animatic with added commentary.

This is the Treatment sheet for the planning of our sequence. This adds more detail onto the Call Sheet and explains the original ideas for our film (for example: The Witching Hour).

Call Sheet - Three

Call sheet for three

This is the call sheet for our opening sequence which Shauna made. This basically explains the location we planned to film in, including a map of exactly where that would be, and contact information in order to get hold of actors or group members. It also includes a list of props we plan to use in the opening sequence and detail on the lighting in the film (for example, if natural lighting was not to be used we would need to use torches/candles/other light sources).

Audience Research

Audience research

Shauna word processed this research that she gathered on Audience Research. She used sites such as BBFC to read about the different age ratings on films and what they had to include to be certified to that certain age. She used this research to come to a decision to award our opening sequence as a 15.

Institution Research

Institution Research

This is our institution research. We used sites such as boxofficemojo and the-numbers.com to research on what type of sub-genres within the horror genre were most popular, with the help of cinema ticket sales and profits. The research showed us that supernatural was said to be the most popular sub-genre, therefore to gain the most profit from our film we decided to stick with the most popular choice in the film industry.

The Unborn 9 frame analysis

This is Shauna's 9 Frame Analysis of the horro film The Unborn. She watched the opening 2 minute sequence of this film and analysed 9 different frames/shots. This would give us some ideas and inspiration for our own opening sequence.
