Moodboard

This is my mood board. It represents the main theme of my opening sequence which is British drama. These are all aspects of British gritty genre's that establish the genre. These are things you would usually expect to see in this type of genre.

Logo First Idea

This is our first logo idea. We decided to go with the name 'Halo Visions'. We made it in the form of an animation  and used a beam of light across the words to give it a holey feel to relate to the word halo. We also added a halo on top of it.

Title Idea 1

This is the first idea of our title that my partner and i put together. The grey background was used to match our grey toned opening sequence. This will be put at the end of our opening sequence after the reaction shot of our main character Bobby. The image does not look very clear and and looks 'distorted' which was intentional to relate our main characters life not being clear and uncertain and his life is in fact distorted.

Voiceover/Script

We thought that a voiceover throughout the whole scene would make it more effective after we decided to take out the flashback scene...

The purpose of the voice over is to make it different to other ideas that people have. My partner and i thought it would be more effective.

Black screen shows for a split second as the sound is peaceful and the sound of birds chirping.

Bobby: Fresh home.

*as he stands outside the prison gates on his release*

*sigh of relief as Bobby leaves prison*

Bobby: Feels good to see daylight as a free man. 

*looking to the sky, as if he is thanking God. A suttle grin apprears on his troubled face*

*reality hits, and his facial expression changes to that of a more serious one. His grin disappears. Kicks the stones on the ground and begins walking*

Bobby: Although, being in a box gave me time to reflect.  I found Allah.  I’m trying to live a good life, Inshallah. My past still haunts me everynight. Voices in my head screaming…”MURDERER, MURDERER!” Self defence can create demons.

*walks down the deserted street with one hand in his pocket, the other clinging on to the only belingongs he owns, the white jail bag.*

Bobby: Despite how much I try to convince myself it was an accident, my soul still remains in torment.  Flashbacks. Pain. Of which I caused.  A Mother still mourns her only son, a daughter still longs for her father…

*exchanges a glance with a passer by.  A boy the age of the boy he killed.  Guilt over takes him once again, as passer by looks at him suspiciously. He brushes past him unintentionally and walks into the train station*

*TRAIN APPROACHES PLATFORM AND BOBBY STEPS ON*

*sits alone on the empty train as he looks out the window, his thoughts over take him.*

Bobby: I can’t begin to imagine how my Mum feels. *QUICK JUMP CUT TO A DISTORTED IMAGE OF HIS MUM* My brother. My sister. My daughter.  The daughter I never got to see grow.  She must be beautiful now.  

*gets off the train and begins his long walk back to his flat*

Bobby: I deserve to be dead. In my head I’m dead already.

Bobby: I’m not safe anymore. 

*eerie music creeps in, as he walkes to his door.  Puts his bag on the floor. Hears noises upstairs, looks and walks up the stairs*

*SOUND OF HEART BEATING*

*opens the door*

*reaction shot of Bobby, he is startled to see this person in  his room, it is the victims brother*

Victims brother: Long time no see, whats good brother ? 

*CLOSE UP OF BOBBY'S FACE*

*Music Plays*

THE END.  Cliffhanger...

Audience Research

This is my audience research task. In this task, my partner and i formed questions that we thought would help us to better our movie and also find out which type of audience we are looking to aim it at.
We found out a lot of things about what people like and how it varies due to age. We asked our target audience about our opening sequence and had mixed reviews. We learnt that we need to further expand our idea to make it more efficient. We also needed to include more creativity in our idea and know exactly the audience we are targeting.
