Shooting

The film opening sequence will take place in my house as we decided the layout will work particularly well with the camera angles and we can use it to build tension. It will need to take place in a house as that is the setting in which burglaries tend to take place, as apposed to an outdoor area. The main issue with filming at my house is the number of family members I have, as they will create background noise and difficult to get out of the house to film. To overcome this, we will have to film whilst they're working and at school or we may have to bribe them.

It should be fairly easy to control the lighting as we will be inside the house. On our first attempt of filming we found that the lighting was quite dim and the character looked more of a silhouette. We wouldn't be able see what she is doing or picking up so to improve the quality of light we will place a light from all angles to capture every aspect in the shot. We also decided to shoot at about 3 in the afternoon as it will be around dusk which is the exact atmosphere we need to match the genre and plot.

There will be two characters in the title sequence. Laura will play a highly experienced and well known thief who has their own mark which they leave to show it was them. She will be wearing all black, with a cat mask and black boots. I will be playing the innocent and unknowing victim of the burglary. I will be wearing a white top as it shows purity and innocence, contrasting to the villain which shows the clear difference between the two characters. The thief will be moving quickly and smoothly as she is professional in thieving where as the victim will be walking slow and hastily around as they are scared and could be in danger.
