Pre-production planning: Credits

Our credits will appear on screen when appropriate to the shot, this meaning when the male character is seen the credit "Bradley Hawkes" will appear, this will go for all cast members. The first credit will be "Rumford Roberts Productions" and the final one will be our title "One less hour" as this is a common convention in all films.

They will not slide in or drop down, that will slowly fade in, this also links to the narrative of our film as it is about something coming out form the dark.

Pre-production planning: Typography of credits


We have chosen a typography for our credits, we have chosen it to reflect a typewriter style font. This creates a sense of ambiguity and mystery. 
Below are some of our proposed credits in a typography we thought is fitting.


The font is called Moms Typewriter.


We took inspiration from the opening of David Finchners Se7en.
We did a mood board to help decide on typography.

Pre-production planning: Sound ideas

For our female character we need music to represent the archetype, therefor we are using ambient sound of current music in her room, to emphasis her archetype. We have chosen a song called "Steal my girl" to play in the background.

As well as this we approached our friend, Lucas Fisher, who is a talented musician and studying A-level music, to write a non-diegetic score, this is useful as we can make it how we would like. We and him intend to create a tense score that builds suspense.

Another non-diegetic sound will be the ticking of a clock, which will be constant throughout.
