Lighting Tests

We did a few experiments with different lighting effects. The first still was taken while only the one spotlight is being used whereas the second still has both the spotlight and 'full' light are on. The result we came to was that the shots without the 'full' light on gave an overall better look.

Title Font Styles

These are some ideas for fonts which we have thought to use for the title of the sequence, "Judgement".
The font names are listed next to the samples themselves.

Animatic sequence

This is the animatic sequence that we have made. In this sequence we intend to use lots of long-shots but also many others including close-ups. Our story will be based on a character who has lost members of his family due to a murder.

Here are the storyboards we made.

This is our moodboard for our crime Opening sequence. Our inspiration for our opening sequence comes from the 2007 film Death Sentence, here is the link to the IMDB page for this film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804461/ It is an exciting tale which explores the fine line between revenge and justice. This moodboard shows some of our characters and possible settings. These include the victims (morgue photo), the killers, some settings (crime scene/courtroom) and our main protaganist (centre photo).

MP4 of Logo

This is the animated version of our Hysteria logo. We used a variety of techniques including fade ins and blurs.
This logo was aided by the use of a tutorial from the website "Photoshop Dragon". The original version of the gas mask image was a dark grey but because we wanted to have a black background we decided to invert the colours on the image to make it a 'standing out' white.

Hysteria Logo

This is the logo we created on Photoshop for use in our opening sequence.

We used a variety of effects to create it.
