Me and Emily decided in advance that we don't need to schedule rehearsals because most the shots are pictures and others are just simple actions that the actors can easily do without practising e.g, walking down the street. 

How my research has influenced my planning

The title sequences we chose to research was "The Thing" and "Se7en". These are two completely different films yet are both in the same genre. This was useful to me and Emily because it helped us see different ways in which we could then go on to create ours. Both sequences inspired us by us seeing how they both use close ups, The Thing more than in Se7en. we saw that the thing used lots of extreme close ups so pictures become mysterious. Se7en used a lot of ideology in how it showed one picture but because of the genre, we new it meant something else. So this is what we decided to do. We've planned on using a few simple, innocent pictures but adding either some sound effects behind it or using a filter when editing to add a scary effect. e.g. a shot of a tree put into black and white. 

Neither title sequence use proper music, the thing used just sound effects which, I personally thought added a  really good effect, and Se7en used a few sound effects and a bit of music. we decided not to put any music in but have an audio script of people talking as if there leaving answer phone message. We thought this would be a good effect because it would seem more natural and realistic.

Time management

...

we thought of another few ideas to add as a still picture between various shots.
idea 1- a close of of pills fallen out onto a desk, with the packet behind.
idea 2- ripped pieces of paper and burnt pieces.
idea 3- see the man burning a love letter he wrote to the girl.

Story board so far..

Me and Emily have decided to take photo's for our story board as we thought it would make it more clear and be quicker. Beucase we were un-able to go to the location were the film is set today we decided to do it around colelge and explain what the actual room will be like.

Organisation (Location/Permissions)

Me and Emily decided to shoot the majority of the sequence in Emilys garage. This is for 2 reasons, firstly becuase it suits the genre well and secondsly becuase it makes it easier for me and Emily becuase we dont have to ask permission. We are also planning to film part of the sequence on a walk way, but we will choose a part which isn't outside any ones house or will effect anyone else to limit any possible problems.
