Last weekend, my group began to film for our film opening. Due to the fact that we need a male in our opening, we asked our friend James to come and help us film, however he pulled out last minute so we were unable to complete the majority of the film which we wanted to complete. We did eventually get the little sections of our opening sequence done that we could do without our male character.
The scene we were able to complete was the scene when Lucy (our main character) wakes up scared from her dream. My role was the lighting, we set this in Lucy's bedroom and had dark lighting to make it look as if she had just woke up in the middle of the night, it did look realistic.
Overall, our first filming was not very successful, however, next time hopefully we will have a reliable person to play a part in our filming. To solve our problems, as a group we have discussed that we need to have a more reliable actor and be a little more organised.

Juno Opening Sequence:
Juno:
Released: 2007,
Directed by: Jason Reitman,
Actors/Actresses: Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner.
The opening sequence of Juno changes the real setting and character of Juno into a cartoon, the opening sequence is very colourful with lots of clours such as blue, green, red and yellow. The credits run through the whole of the opening sequence in big bold letters. The character Juno really stands out in the opening sequence as she is wearing a bright red jumper to signify that she is the main character.
The music played throughout the opening sequence is a very happy and cheerful song.
At the end of the sequence, the film changes from cartoon back to real graphics to start with the actual stroyline of the film.

Seven Opening Sequence:
Se7en:
Released: 1995,
Directed by: David Fincher,
Actors/Actresses: Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman.
The opening sequence of 'Seven' uses very dark and gloomy colours to set the scene, also the rain outside again signifies the gloomy theme of the film. The characters are also wearing really dark clothing to match the dark setting and theme.
The beginning of the opening sequence simply sets the scene and shows the audience what the film is going to be about and then the second half of the opening sequence is credits. The audience gather from the opening sequence that the film is about solving murders as we see a dead body and gather that Morgan Freeman is a detective.
The opening credits fit the theme of the film by being quite dark and scary. The music played throughout the opening credits is also scary and jumpy with high pitched sounds.

Zombieland Opening Sequence:
Zombieland:
Released: 2009,
Directed by: Ruben Fleicher,
Actors/Actresses: Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone & Woody Harrelson.
The sequence begins with a shot of the American flag, this lets the audience know immediately that the film is set in America. Also, unlike most scary films, we see the zombies immediately within the opening sequence and the narrator of the opening sequence tells us about the storyline and how there are only zombies within America in the film.
The film also appeals very much to its target audience of those who enjoy blood and gore within films, the zombies immediately within the film start to attack the last of the citizens in America.
The credits are shown throughout the opening sequence whilst people are running away from zombies, being eaten by zombies etc. The film includes lots of bright colours such as pink, orange, green and especially red- the blood.
