These images were taken by James Sullivan in Nonsuch park.
We chose to film in this area which I commented on previously in my 'research' section. We decided to visit the forest again to plan fully how we would film, which specific areas we would use and how to set up our props within that area which is when we took these images.
The tree branch, as I have mentioned previously, is twisted and eerie and is a true connotation of the film and Damien's mind within the dream (the scene filmed here).
The sharp edges of the leaves also portrays this sinister connotation.
The house we chose to film in fitted in with the film's colour scheme (blue) which is dreamy yet often associated with sadness, confusion and thriller films as it had a neutral/blue colour scheme throughout.
We decided to use these locations also as they scored highly in the questionnaires we sent out in the 'Research' stage of our project.
These photos were taken on school premises, the chess pieces I find very interesting as the could connote many things and used appropriately could contribute to creating an abstract theme in my opening sequence.
These photos were taken in Central London whilst on the London Eye, the view from the eye is perfect for constructing an artistic establishing shot due to the vast area of architecture that can be captured. In terms of a Romantic film, slow establishing shots of beautiful scenes are a common feature of opening sequences.
Again the beach scene is perfect for establishing shots and was taken in Swalecliffe. The many colours of the beach houses could connote love and the pastel colours are a convention of the romantic genre.
The cabin shed and snow together create a romantic scene as well as the deep purple sky which could connote passion and foreshadowing.
The first of these images was taken on the Daisy behind the school and the green grass is a sign of life and happiness which could relate well to the idea of a romantic genre opening sequence. The second image is of a small cemetery, the colours are very light and pastel which contrasts to the dark subject of the photo and actually looks very romantic and serene.
this image is successful in portraying a matched colour scheme, titles and close ups in action.
