 This is our storyboard for the movie title project.

 Location of scene: Woods/Main Area     Daniel: I can't believe you guys made me come. You know I don't like anything resembling horror.     Mario: Don't be such a crybaby, it's just trees and animals. What's the worst that can happen?     Mario: Now come on, you and Jayden go find some sticks for the campfire.     Daniel: Umm- I guess so.     Location of scene: Deeper in woods     Jayden: Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned this before we came along, but there's actually a rumor about this place.     Daniel: Excuse me? You're not serious are you? What's the rumor?     Jayden: I've heard there have been a lot of disappearances around these woods. Locals says there is some killer hanging his victim on trees. And that you can see the ghosts of the people buried here, haunting the area, making bizarre noises.     Daniel: What the heck is wrong with you guys bringing me to a place like this? You guys make me so mad I can't even- Did you hear th

 The opening credits will appear digitally on the screen, showing up after a cut from each character or location except the title and the director which will appear in the opening itself. The credits for the movie will be shown based on the amount of work done and overall impact to the opening.  Our working title is "The black Forest incident" The font we'll be using will be "Impact" with a bright red text to make it distinguishable from the background. When the scene opens the first few titles will be shown, staying for around 5-10 seconds each before fading away, once the action picks up and the camera cuts to a specific character or location there will be two for each section staying and leaving the same as the others The title and "directed by" will be shown in the opening rather than appearing on screen like the other title, near the end carved into the ground, spelt out by a pool of blood or something like that.

Schedule: Our schedule will be pretty tight, and time will be limited. Our goal is to complete filming all scenes of the beginning of the film in a single day before we have to go home. The setting of it will be at night time and in close proximity to a friends house, so we are operating on their time mostly as well. The good news is, the sun sets early at this time of year so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue. The goal is to get all of our clips in by 10:00PM which is certainly manageable for only 2 minutes of footage. Locations: Hampton Pines Park in North Lauderdale will be our choice of location for our film. The all footage of the opening scene will take place here.  Actors: Jayden Capuano will be one of the actors. He is considered a good candidate to be the antagonist in this movie considering his stature and mannerisms. He also has experience in elementary school. This school is called PS69Q “School of Performing Arts”. Myles Hendee will most likely be the main or secondary

  For this blog, I selected the website "artofthetitle.com". It is a website that showcases the opening sequences of a variety of different movies. These movies being of many different genres themselves. This specific website has the opening sequences of several horror movies from several time periods that interest me. My group mates aren't exactly concerned over this as they already have an idea in mind on what they want to do as in era of horror movies they want to try to replicate in our opening scene. However, I want to appreciate all of them as this website does. It takes into account many eras of horror film and I would like to choose inspiration from one of them. There are many different factors that differentiate and distinguish artofthetitle from other websites like it. This website creates a yearly list of the Top 10 opening scenes of movies.  In total, there are about three thousand opening sequences of films on this website.
