Location

We originally planned to film our title sequence in an attic as we wanted to tell the audience that the box was old and had not been looked at for many years.We came across any problems with this as we could not find an attic that we could use.We then had the idea of filming in a shed we used a shed which on the video looks slightly like an attic so it does not seem like a completely irrelevant destination to the storyline . We filmed the montage scenes in both Welling and Bexleyheath.

Inspiration

we used this as inspiration for our title sequence as this has a similar narrative to the one we wanted t create and structure our idea on this also gave us different  ideas on how thrillers are normally filmed and edited to create certain effects.

filming day

We plan to film on the 16/2/16 as we could all film on this da for the whole day.We hope to film the main bulk of the title sequence on this day so that we can have it filmed and edited in time for the first screening of the first edit.We plan to film the scenes inside of the house and some shots for the montage sequence.We have set aside a whole day to film as we are unsure how long this will take us to complete.

Vertigo analysis

The title sequence for vertigo depicts Saul Bass' well know style , we the use of both graphics and actors. He shows a female character assumed to be the protagonist of the film looking scared and afraid. We see an extreme close up on her face and then the camera is brought up to her eyes where we see the fear and then we see the screen start to enter geometric shapes with bright colours it continues to get bigger and then leaves the screen another one talking it's placed quickly  afterwards. 

Saul Bass

Saul Bass is an American graphic designer who was born on May 8th 1920 in New York city.He is best know for his title sequences which use simple geometric shapes and stand alone images to crate a stong message.Bass started out in print based work such as movie posters and used shapes and images going away from the main style at the time which used mainly the actors face to sell the film to an audience. Bass was well know in the industry and his first well know title sequence was for "the man with the golden arm"by  Otto Preminger the film was about a heroin addict and spoken about by many due to the main topic of the film being extremely controversial.Bass kept to the style of simple shapes to create an image of an arm. 



He also created many title sequences with Alfred Hitchcock he created things such as the title sequence for North by Northwest (1959), Vertigo (1958) using his simple geometric shape style including strong colours with high contrast.He enjoyed making his title sequences a short visual metaphor or creating a story with them.Bass died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Los Angeles on April 25, 1996 at the age of 75.
