Today I and my group had a discussion about the ideas we had for how we wanted the opening title sequence to look, we discussed how we wanted to present these ideas, I suggested that we all go off separately and visualize how we want the opening title sequence to look like, this way we could take ideas from each other's visualizations and create a piece that takes a part of everybody's own visualization. My group agreed and we decided that we would present our final rough ideas to each other tomorrow. This way of approaching it I found to be beneficial as it allowed us to have three plans that we could re-visit if there was a problem with the idea we choose, this way we also got to see different ways of how we could present the horror itself.
I personally went off and created a very rough storyboard of how I think our opening sequence should look:
Scene 1: A 10-second establishing shot, panning from left to right of a car with the family inside arriving to Peaslake house (mental asylum). Slow creepy non-diegetic music starts playing and diegetic sound of the car driving up the driveway on the gravel can be heard. Credits begin to appear on the bottom corners of the screen.
Scene 2: A 5-second over the shoulder shot of the family walking into the house, music continues. Dialogue can be heard from the wife making a sarcastic comment about the look of the house. The camera zooms onto the children running through the house. Diegetic sound of the children giggling can be heard. Creepy non-diegetic music continues.
