Progress Update and Plans for a Second Attempt at a Film's Opening Sequence

As I was unhappy with the result of my finished opening sequence, I have decided to create a second edit and update the research and planning accordingly to accommodate these changes.

I will be condensing the current footage into a shorter time span of around two minutes, removing the low quality shots that use basic camera angles and don't have immediate relevance to a plot. This will become the title sequence which will be followed by a new scene which will be scripted, storyboarded and added after the old footage to form the start of the film "Sub-Rosa".

I have created an updated film synopsis which will fit into the "Thriller/ Horror" genre, meaning that I can reuse my previous research, planning and footage and simply update and adapt this to fit my second attempt at an opening sequence of a film.

I will attempt to write weekly blog posts explaining the changes I have made. I will start by adding detail to my research into target audiences for Thriller and Horror film genres using audience theories, the classifications made by Young and Rubicam and details on demographics from Mosaic and YouGov. Then I will script and create storyboards for the second (new) scene of my film's opening sequence. This will be accompanied by an updated film synopsis which has a more secure plot line than my previous attempt. Once updated production schedules have been created and the new scene has been filmed and incorporated to the old footage, I will update my evaluation.
