Credits - Things to Include
Below is a list of things that as a group we should include in our opening sequence in the form of titles/credits. I will also have to consider how I think we should represent/show our credits - either on a coloured screen or over the top of the sequence itself. I think for our particular sequence we should have them over the action as ours isn't overly action packed so it would be more effective in my opinion to not break up the sequence too much as it may have the effect of making the opening too long and dull.

Our Group Opening: Rush
We edited together a rough rush for our opening which is below.
I feel that it looks good, yet still isn't quite thriller enough. It doesn't have that much suspense or atmosphere so as a group we have decided to add in a few extra shots.
Firstly we've decided to add in some shots of the kidnapper's feet walking up the stairs which we plan to inter cut with the sequence of the main character getting out of bed and walking down the hallway.
Secondly we have decided on a shot of the kidnapper's feet in heavy shoes behind the girl's bare feet in the bathroom to show that he is just behind her. Hopefully this will add suspense and also show the contrast between the two, bare feet connote vulnerability whilst big heavy shoes connote something sinister.
These additions should help to create a bit more tension in the opening sequence and also make the audience connect and sympathise with the main character a bit more because she seems to very vulnerable in the situation (as she doesn't know someone else is in the house and we do) but she doesn't appear to be a vulnerable character. She comes across as capable of looking after herself if a little reckless with her drinking and into activities which a lot of people can relate to which helps to make the audience feel a connection with her.
