This is our film poster for our final film opening. We decided to make it black and white so it gives a mystery effect to it.

Insitution
The companies that would produce these films are Lions gate and Paramount this is because they are big production companies so the film will be well known and a lot of people will want to see the film. They also release a range of different film genres so they would happily produce this film. Here I have explained why we picked Paramount and Lionsgate as our film production companies. In this video the reasons have been explained.
Shooting Schedule
Our shooting schedule for our film opening was pretty simple because we filmed everything on the same day. This was Thursday the 1st of December. However once we had put it all on premiere we had to go out on the school field and take a few more shots and film so diegetic sound to make it sound more realistic.
Once we completed our first draft we went back to Springfield to re film some bits to make them better. We filmed these on the 13/12/16. So we had time to re edit our film opening.

Props Research
We did some research of props we would need in a mystery murder film opening and there wasn't many. So we came up with our own props that we knew we were going to need. These were:
- Blood
- School uniform
- Dog
These were the three main props we used in out film opening, this made it look more realistic because the dogs helped find the body, the school uniform made it look like she was walking home from school and the blood made the death look real.
Moodboard of Films
This is a mood board of our film inspirations. Looking from the film posters you can see they all are mysterious and have the same genre of mystery/crime. These films also gave us an idea to what our film opening should look like. These films all have murders or some type of criminal case, which links to our film idea, of a girl being murdered and then no one knowing who has done it. Peer Assessment
Group Sequence: Panophobia
What elements of this sequence did you feel were successful? give at least 2 elements, and explain why they were successful.
The most successful parts of his film opening was the titles as they looked really effective and made the opening a bit more exciting and tense as you wanted to know who was burning the photos and why. Another successful thing was how they did a flash back to one of the memories they all shared.
Were there any aspects of the sequence which you felt were confusing/distracting/missing, etc? Be sure to explain your answers.
There wasn't really any confusing or missing shots to the film opening. The only thing was that the song could gradually fade out so there isn't just a dramatic silence while the two girls are making the 'com home Erin' video.
List 2 things which you feel would have improved this sequence and explain your opinion.
An improvement could be getting the diegetic sound to make it more realistic. Another improvement could b to make the pictures clearer before burning them as we couldn't actually see what the pictures were of.

First Draft Film Opening Feedback
First Draft:
The feedback we got from our first draft of our film opening was better than expected. Most of the feedback was about the voice over and how it wasn't very clear and that there was a lot of stutters. People also said that it was very fast so we have now improved this by re filming it with a different person to get a clear voice over. Before we let everyone see the film opening we knew that the voice over wasn't great but we didn't have time to re film so we were glad this was our feedback and we agreed with it completely. Some people also said that some of the shots of the setting was unclear and a bit blurry, we also noticed this and will take it into account for our second draft. We also got feedback about the titles because we hadn't finished them and because they were a bit big so we needed to make them smaller. However we did get a lot of good feedback which really helped us focus on what we could improve. Most people said that the genre was clear and that the speed of the shots were good as it created more tension. The setting was a good place to film because it was a normal day in normal time and was very realistic. Many people liked the use of dogs because it was different and they made the opening a lot better.

My idea:
All these are similar ideas to do with mystery, like the internet idea leaves you thinking who is behind the computer screen, and a missing persons case it is like where is the person? Was this person taken?
