Supernatural Shots For Title sequence (How We Done It)

On this post I will be explaining what I done over the half term to push the title sequence to it's completion. I went to the apartment with the owner and we took some shots of the loft opening by itself and also the door closing by itself so we can chuck this in the title sequence to give the audience a gist of what the genre is. As I explained on the previous post many people thought that the title sequence looked more like thriller than a horror. If people continue to think it's a thriller even after some of these shots have been included than we may have categorized our title sequence wrong and therefore we will have to change the genre for it to make sense.Perhaps a better genre would be a psychological thriller or supernatural thriller.

First of all we went for a basic shot of the door closing by itself. Dan (main character) Walks into the apartment and left the door open so basically all I am doing here is going behind the door and slamming it shut. Once with the light on and once with the light off because the shots might look on screen. Sometimes it looks 5x darker on screen. A video on showing how we done is below.

Secondly we went for a shot where the loft door is opening by itself which the audience will presume is a supernatural being of some sort. We had luck with the loft door only being shut by a lock so when you unlock it, it drops automatically. So Steven (owner of the apartment) went up in the loft and held it and then let it drop.

 The video on the above will show you how we done it. Below the text is a few more shots of the loft opening. We only are going to use one of the shots  but I wanted to take quite a few shots to cover some angles. We will be doing editing with the loft video so we can alter the brightness so it looks a lot more darker and creates more of a tense atmosphere.

So hopefully these shots will work with the title sequence. I am still coming up with more ideas for the title sequence such as draws opening by themselves but we will see how it goes. My next aim is to get some foley sounds of the door slamming and the loft opening.
