Journal

In Friday's lesson we begun to plan out our title sequence for our film. We spoke about:

• Distributor and Production Company
• Style
• Camerawork
• Genre
• Style and Editing
• Text on screen
• Narrative
• Setting
• Make-up and props
• Characters
• Sound

We started this brainstorm by starting with 'STINCS'

Setting - Theme - Iconography - Narrative - Characters - Style

After doing so we decided to look into other stuff to conclude as a group together. We then did some research on 'Kidnapping vs Medicine'. We thought we should use needles as they can represent illegal drugs to knock somebody out but they can only be used to cure someone from a deadly illness.

We started looking at restraining tools such as handcuffs and perhaps ropes.

From this point we decided to maybe consider setting this back to around the 1960s when mental illness was treated differently and more horrific. We started researching how schizophrenia was treated before people had prescripted drugs. We found out about prefrontal leucotomy, when doctors used to remove the part of the brain that released emotions. From looking at this we begun to think setting our film would fall too much into the horror genre as it is quite gory and a horrible thing to think about.

I feel as if this lesson was a massive jump for our title sequence ideas, I feel more confident with making the sequence and feel like it can work really well.
