Title Sequence (Final Ideas)

After doing some further research and looking into the feedback that we were given, Sarah and I have decided not to include the hallway scene as we want to create a more suggestive opening rather than including too much action.

We will be filming our entire opening sequence at Sarah's house, as we will not have to get permission and do not have a set time limit.

Our opening sequence will start off with a few titles e.g. Warner Bro's Cinema. This will be followed by a clip of a line up of dolls. You will then hear the sound of the humming becoming louder as Salem (Titas) stands in front of the dolls, showing his shadow, and picks one up. After another title, there will be a close up as he places the doll on a desk, which will then be followed by a clip of the equipment he will use (e.g. scissors, carving knife, scalpel). We will hold it on each clip for around 8-9 seconds depending on what we are showing. Next, we will hear the disturbing sound of a chair screeching across the floor as he pulls it out and sits down. The focus will then be on his hands as he slowly touches the equipment and selects one (scissors) picking it up carefully. Salem's hands will have plasters on them, and we will cover them with chalk so they look worn out slightly. As he uses the scissors and you can hear the sharp snip snip of his cutting, the focus will change to the wall behind him, which will be covered in pictures of women who resemble dolls. We will be asking permission of girls to take photos of them as their doing stuff, as we want the photos to look as if they had been taken by a stalker.


You will be able to tell that he is male because our male character (Titas) will be humming the tune of "twinkle twinkle little star" throughout the scene as well as a few grunts as he forcefully cuts the hair. He will be putting the hair in a wooden jewellary box that is already full of hair. Between these shots we will be using a black background, with a shaky font to show the titles.

We will be using a variation of close up shots and mid-shots, without showing any faces, as we want to create more emphasis on whats going on, and give an insight into our psychopathic characters actions and mind set.

The opening sequence will end with Salem placing the deformed doll near a photo of a girl that resembles the doll. you will be able to see his shadow against the wall and then see his hand open the garage door with a remote. the noise of the garage door will be creepy and add to the atmosphere we are going to be trying to create. the final shot will be of his feet walking towards the garage door on a blood stained floor and show the garage shutters opening slowly up until his neck, which is when the title "DOLLS" comes up.
