Questionnaire

I have created a 5 minute questionnaire to be filled in by the target audience, including questions on horror movies and their preferences.

Opening Credits Mock Test

I decided to test out an idea for the opening credits which would run with the apocalyptic theme I plan to go with. I wrote a potential film company name on a scrap sheet of paper (this will be a graphic title created on the computer which I will then print for the actual filming instead of hand written) and tried to create a burning effect, so that the title name 'burns away'.
For safety I had a fire extinguisher on stand by (just in case) and to begin with conducted it outside. The weather conditions were terrible, since it was quite windy the flame was continually extinguished and the paper had to be kept down with a rock.
So we decided to move it into the garage, the next safest area. We were wind protected and managed to get the paper to burn. A thing to note was that several areas of the paper had to be lit before I could get the desired effect. The stained stone floor still worked quite well despite being indoors, keeping the wanted effect.
Lighting was also a problem however, and in production I will have to be wary of the lighting and where we place the camera and paper, as shadows were cast across the page.
All in all the test was a success and will be helpful when I come to film, saving time and avoiding errors I may have previously had.
