Storyboard

Story boards + Anamatics

We made a start on our story boards, and we further changed our ideas. We decided that we would add credits between shots during the suit up scene, the font of the credits will resemble a type writter to add effect and create a more professional feel. These credits allow the suit up scene to run smootly and not to appear to jumpy between cuts, and this will allow us to run the credits without obstructing any of the shots.




Credits

We plan to do our credits almost as if they are being written by a type writer on the screen, the inspiration for using this idea came from previous films and tv shows with the same effect.

For example;             RED OCTOBER

However the letters we hope will come on screen indivually as if they are being written.

Mise en scene

As we're making the opening for a historical film set approximately 80 years ago, Mise-en-scène is incredibly important for making our opening look believable, interesting and showing good continuation.
We wrote a list of items we could potentially need and went about trying to collect them. This ensured that when it came to filming we had a convincing set with excellent Mise-en-scène.

• Any bullets, bullet casings or shells.
• Any military style uniform, such as boots, military jackets and hats.
• Indicators of the location, era and situation the characters are in (war time) 
•  Documents and papers, some with black boxes over parts of the text.
• Ashtray
• A smoking fire/camp fire, or a campfire effect.
• Any replica weapons

Combined with our plans of making the titles and music represent the location and era, this will make our film opening look authentic.
