It came apparent that our initial plan to produce a horror was difficult to put into action. Our footage was too complicated and ultimately gave away too much of the storyline, which is not the goal of a title sequence. However, my team and i discussed this issue in a group meeting and decided to use elements of our horror idea and put them into a new idea to effectively create a thriller.
As these genres are close in relation to eachother there was not much excess filming to be incorporated into our work. Using the new location of the TV studio, we re-shot our footage with a simpliar vision in mind using bluescreen to creatively produce a sillhouette effect of our protagonists. The effect of this is that it would maintain suspence as the audience cannot see the faces of the protagonists and will see this as a reason to stay focused and keep watching to find out the overall story-line. This corrects the mistake we made first as we will not give too much away and the characters identity lies unidentified until the movie progresses. However, the audience do get to see body language of the protagonists and establish a sense of what will be included during the film wich will immediently keep them hooked.
This idea of using blue screen was inspired by the iPod advert which is effectively dependent on the actors body language to sell their product.
Costumes and Props for our new idea have also changed and have proven drastically simpilar.
As the actors are going to be presented as nomore than just sillhouettes, there was no need to fuss about costume. Props that we included were very simple and consisted of only a chair and a paper rolled up as a cigar to fit the conventional idea of the male protaginist being a person of high status and importance.

All in all we believe this new plan will allow us to show off more of our creative side and demonstrate simple yet effective media techniques.
