Draft Video;

 After just putting all our ideas into one video, there is no real order and it doesn't really make much sense, which we quite like, but there is still a lot that needs to be refined or changed. For example, we think at the moment it looks a bit too much like a trailer, the "You Are The Victim" section really gives it that feel, which it shouldn't have. e will most likely change this to credits of some sort.
Also, the huge spaces in the video where there is no visual need to be changed, this shows that it isn't completely finished yet. 
Moreover, the reflection effect put on to one of the shots, doesn't work with the rest of the title sequence therefore should be changed, we were going to try some layering on the shots instead as we feel this will work much better with the sequence and fit better.
Furthermore, the sound needs to be synchronised much more exact to the visual then it is, for example the eye part of video is synced very well and gives a lot of significance to this part, we need to put more of the shocking shots on this sort of sound.
In addition to this,  the quote needs to be moved to the start of the movie or just completely taken off as it is in the middle of the title sequence when it shouldn't be, the title also appears quite slowly, we think too slowly so we will speed this up a little.
There needs to be more casting credits or who the film is starring also, as there is only one.
These need to be in the correct order what they usually come in, so we will have to search for this order.
Yet we do like how the title comes up with a hand beside it and feel like we should replicate this type of shot and effect with most of our credits.

I will re-upload the video when these issues have been resolved.

Choosing fonts;

 have noticed in many title sequences the font is quite small but not too small and is usually aligned the right or left hand corners if not in the centre. Choosing the right font is crucial as it has to link or represent something related in your movie. Especially in thrillers as it has to come across some sort of mood.
We have chosen the font to be Unfortunate Events.

Titles in the title sequence

From watch the titles sequence of: The Departer, Narc, Shutter Island and Mirrors the titles come on as follows:

The distributers(main company's)
then Presents...
In Association with..
Directors name
The title of the film


The last movie: Mirrors also included the name of the casting directors, music, costume special effects, co-producer and editor. But I don't feel as these are relevant for a 'low budget' movie, which this would be.

Risk Assessment;



As you can see we didn't encounter many risks or hazards due to most of the filming taking place in a safe environment: Bedroom, although as some footage was filmed in the back garden we encountered minor cuts.
