Voiceover Preparation

In preparation for our voice over I had come up with a few ideas which we could use, originally thinking that we would only be using one of them. We have now used the idea below as a quote at the beginning, almost giving an introduction to the whole opening before the narrative has been heard.

'Be gone from this place children of earthly form, for this pool you idly draw ripples in is deeper than you know, and the streams which feed it are where the fountains of Darkness lay.' 

For our voice over, we then decided that the idea below would be best. It explains our opening without giving too much away and it allows the audience to understand what they are viewing rather than missinterpreting it.

Demons are haunted by the vastness of eternity. They are forced to transmit from one being to another, never knowing when the end will be for their tormented souls. They cause the once peaceful land to become disturbed by their callous ways and the innocent souls of individuals to join them. 

On Monday we are hoping to record the voice over, hopefully getting a variation so we are able to see which one works best with our opening and once this has been completed, we should be finished with our opening. (Fingers crossed!)

Voiceover Ideas

So it's leading up to the deadline of our opening but we thought to make our opening seem much clearer to the audience, we should add on a voice over to the beginning. Over the last couple of days I have been researching and coming up with some ideas as to what we could use.

- It has been two weeks now since the disappearance of two girls in Winchmore Hill, England. The inattentive teenagers had been walking in a park, oblivious to the fact that there was an evil spirit watching their every move. 

- Demons are haunted by the vastness of eternity. They are forced to transmit from one being to another, never knowing when the end will be for their tormented souls. They cause the once peaceful land to become disturbed by their callous ways and the innocent souls of individuals to join them. 

- Be gone from this place children of earthly form, for this pool you idly draw ripples in is deeper than you know, and the streams which feed it bear the names of old places, the low places, where the fountains of Darkness lay.

These are not the final copies and can be changed if necessary. We also had the idea of adding a bible quote, specifically addressing the ways in which demons are perceived, however, I have yet to look further into it.

'Fallen' Opening Credits

The movie 'Fallen' has been one of our inspirations for our opening as it goes with our ideas of Semra being a supernatural being. The credits have been designed to fade away, almost as if there is a presence floating around. These credits go with the plot of the film as it is based around someone who is an ancient and diabolic spiritual being. He is 'supernaturally condemned to eternally transmigrate at will between unwitting and susceptible human souls who act as hosts for possession.'

Film Opening Feedback

During our spare time today, we decided that filming a feedback video would be beneficial to us. We decided to get our feedback from Mac 4. There was a technical difficulty at the end as it started to lag and then froze but you are still able to hear her comments.
