Finished Film

Here is the complete opening of our final finished film. We have uploaded this footage onto YouTube and are awaiting comments on feedback and reviews. 

Ending Inspiration

   The inspiration for the ending for our film came from a few different places. The main inspiration came from James Cameron's Avatar, which we then linked to the cult, and now world-wide phenomenon, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

 All three shots stars by a slow zoom onto the characters face, then soon later, their eyes open and the film ends. As the eyes are about to open, we can also hear the music build in tension and volume, which we have also replicated. We decided that this would be a very effective ending as it leaves on a cliffhanger and has potentially unanswered questions lingering.

   We also believe that we have successfully replicated this sequence and that it will also work effectively within our final product.

Under The Skin - Inspiration

   The Under The Skin trailer served us as some inspiration for our title for our film. At the very end of the trailer, ash/snow is seen falling from the sky whilst showing the title of the film. We thought that this was really effective and thought that something similar would look great in our opening sequence.

Here is a screenshot from the title used in the trailer for Under The Skin. We want to try and re-create this look in our film by finding an effect that is similar then layering it over our chosen title.

Firebird Films Sequence

   For our film, I have included my own film company's logo and sequence. I made the logo using Photoshop, which took about 1 hour to create. It is a second design of a previous logo that I had made. I made the sequence on Adobe Premiere, the same software that I am using to edit the film opening sequence on. The sequence for FBF is played directly after the Lionsgate and Color Force sequence.
