currently working on.

Currently we are working on the rough cut of our opening, the live action of our opening will be cut down to the certain parts we plan to use. Our live action footage that has been shot is just to establish our story and get the action started.
We need to decide the style of the freeze frames, we have ideas and samples it just a case of coming up with the finished product.

Progress So Far.

Within our group so far we have look at different opening of different crime films, such as "Sin City" & "Snatch". We have made to analysis of both sequences, just explaining what we like and dislike, how the different effects look and how we could use them or something similar in our own sequence.

We have added the openings to the blog also, just so that there is that visual there, making it easier for other people to understand our analysis.

Our synopsis it very detailed and gives the story in a nutshell, telling people about the dialog, characters and the effects from other films and how we could use them.

The Mood Board we have created just shows how hackers come across, such as computers, codes and how hackers are seen as Geeks. Guns and buildings and film pictures just to show the crime side of our opening.
