On Friday's lesson last week we started our storyboarding and continued it throughout this week. Me and my group have found this part very hard as we seem better when explaining it vocally more than through draws, we wrote down some key points and tried to start creating our storyboard using them. Last friday we begun making small doodles of our storyboard ideas.

When stuck on ideas on how to create our storyboard we begun watching previous AS title sequences and counting the cuts of them to get a rough idea of how many drawings we would need. We decided roughly that we needed between 25-40 cuts in our sequence.

We was also introduced to the equipment needed for the production of our title sequence, we decided as a group to use the steady cam for our recording as some of our title sequence will be filmed in smaller rooms which a tripod or dolly could fit in.

Our group also decided what input we are all putting into the making of the title sequence

• Me: camerawork, we decided this because I am perhaps the shyest part of our group and have previously done recording and know the camera shots well due to doing Media Studies in GCSE aswell.

• Sophie: Voiceover, we thought Sophie would be ideal for the voiceover as we previously used Sophie's voice as a voiceover at the beginning of the year and her voice is most likely the most mature out of the 3 girl's voices in our group.

• Christian: The stalker/doctor, Christian currently does Drama AS and did Drama GCSE last year and fits well into our idea for our stalker in the title sequence (tall, well dressed etc).

• Megan: The 'captive' girl, Megan had also done Drama GCSE last year so is confident in front of the camera. Megan also has blue and bright eyes which would also be ideal for the close ups of eyes used within the title sequence.

Overall, I feel as if each of us fit into our roles well and this makes me confident with our production as each of us are most likely placed in our strongest positions.
