Murk: Drafts 5 & 6

Planning
Upon receiving constructive criticism, we decided to make the opening titles more interesting.
Draft 5
 I did some conceptual sketches of the mask that the killer wears to overlay the title slides.

Draft 6
This is the draft where some animations where applied to the sketches overlaying the titles. 

Murk: Drafts 3 & 4

Planning
Draft 3
In this draft, we added the second part of the sequence before the third. It shows the process of Alistair waking up after a nightmare and leaving for work.
Draft 4
This is the version where we began applying filters. In order to make the opening less bright and more visually appealing, I experimented using the leave colour tool. I decided that I would make the red stand out (due to it's frequent occurrence throughout the opening). We decided to use red as the 'key' colour due to its' association with blood and danger. The colour of his tie provides a link between Alistair and his unknown, murderous alter-ego.

Murk: Drafts 1 & 2

Planning
Draft 1 
Draft 1 consists of the third part of the opening, which is where Alistair goes to work. This is a very rough version, where we've put the clips in order and roughly cut them down to where they should be.

Draft 2


Title sequence planning

Planning
As we are doing an opening, we need some credits/titles. These are as follows:

Unhappy Life Pictures Presents
A production by Ewan McConnachie and Luke Warren
Directed by Amber Castillo-Roman
Screenplay by Emily Rose Sharp
Joshua Huke (actor name)

Update 1

I created the overlays or frames for the titles.






The idea is to have these titles between clips. As our opening will be about a minute and a half, this will add some time to make the opening closer to two minutes, as intended.

If we find it breaks up the sequence too much, I'll then overlay the titles over the clips.

After these titles are shown will be the final clip showing the antagonists' picture pinned up. We will then proceed to the main title as follows:




Equipment

Planning
Before we film, we need to know the equipment we need and where were going to get it from.


Camera - we'll be using a school camera, which we will borrow for a weekend of filming.

Tripod - we'll also take this from school - if there aren't any tripods available, I have my own for emergencies.
Laptop - for research purposes and inevitably editing afterwards.
Torch/artificial lighting - just in case the lighting is insufficient or could be better.

Script/sceenplay

Planning
As a collective, we worked on creating the screenplay for Murk, seen below.


After creating this screenplay, we discussed that we may make amendments after the creation of the physical timeline and storyboard.
