Finally, our group finished filming for our new opening sequence on the 17th January. Whilst filming we chose not to emphasize the man's face (antagonist, but main person in the sequence), however we wanted to show that he was mature and sinister. Using make-up Meg accomplished this. Euan was playing this role.
We took many close up shots of the books we used, the lit candles, the flames and drawings of runes. We really wanted to emphasize the ritualistic approach to dark magic and the context of this character. By not giving away too much, we are hoping to create an enigma.
Here you can see our custom made titles by Stephen, we've made them in Motion and with it, make the titles themselves fit the atmosphere of our sequence. Various letters in our names will change into runes, keeping the dark ritualistic theme, as well as being red in appearance, to symbolise danger (relating to footage of red candle wax).
Here is our candle shot, twice we will see this and we've been playing around to see what we can do to emphasize this moment. One idea is to reverse the track, so that once our sequence is over, we can play it again and its as if our antagonist is going round in a vicious cycle, redoing his dark events.
We're now at the stage were all we need is a complete soundtrack, which Euan and Stephen have been working on, to put with our rough cut and we will hopefully be at final cut.
