Filming

We started our filming in the Grafton centre in cambridge after getting permission to. we started off filming from the top of the escalators watching down towards the ground floor as one of the characters walked out of a passageway on the phone. Then went on to film our opening scene, where Stuart got out of the car and walked towards the the exit, and then Sam followed also on the phone, this gives the impression that someone is being followed.
the next scene we filmed was Stuart walking up the escalator which was shot in a few different ways, one of the ways was the camera going up the escalator following Stuart coming down the escalator. the final scene we shot was the following shot where we filmed stuart who just walked in front of us, then in editting we have sped it up.

Further Effect Research

We also researched the slow motion effect as a possible use in our opening. However due to the nature of the film the slow motion would not be relevant. Here is our video research.

Time Lapse Effect

For part of our opening film sequence we wanted to use a time lapse effect. We did some video research and found an example. We are going to use this effect to follow Stuart through the Grafton Centre, we thought this would be a good effect to use as it shows a long period time of time, in a very short period of time, and this would emphasise the importance of Stuart being followed.

We finished the title cards, each title was on a seperate layer in a single file. We did this so we could simultaneously edit every single title in the entire sequence quickly and easily.

We chose the Synchro LET font and applied a Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Overlay, Bevel and Emboss added.
