Journal 31.01.14 - story board for title sequence

In todays lesson me, Laxmi and Aaron, started to plan the story board for our title sequence. One of the ideas we primarily came up with was that we would film the train of a brides dress sweeping down a church isle, as doing so the floor would merge into the image of a rail way track. However due to the lack of time we have in order to complete the title sequence, this would not be possible to edit. 

Another idea in which we thought of was using a polaroid camera and taking photos of a wedding setting allowing them to float down on a black background with hand written titles bellow the image, however the more we thought about this the more simple we felt in would be. 

Finally we come up with the idea of having the titles based around the bride getting ready on her wedding day, the shots would start with the bride sat at her vanity fixing her hair. Using extreme close-up's we would then film the bride applying her make-up such as mascara. Then panning down slowly to her lips and applying red lipstick. We chose the colour red purposely as the colour red connoted sex and romance, therefore giving the audience a hint into what the film is about with out suggesting too much. The camera then moving slowly to then vanity surface itself to reveal to the audience two train tickets and red nail polish in which the female character applies and then blows dry. From this the camera will then pan left to a bed post in which would have a males black tie hanging off, panning up from this to an unmade bed, giving the suggestion of sex, perhaps even hinting slightly at an affair. The next shot will be of the bed side table with will have a photo of a happy couple placed next to it an engagement ring, in which the bride to be picks up again and places back onto her finger, therefore hinting again at the idea of an unfair and she has been unfaithful, from this her hand will move up to the image of the happy couple in which she places her hand on and pushes it face down onto the surface. This suggests to the audience that she no longer wants to marry her fiance. 

This is the story boarding idea we come up with:
