 Here is my storyboard

 Location of scene: Woods/Main Area     Daniel: I can't believe you guys made me come. You know I don't like anything resembling horror.     Mario: Don't be such a crybaby, it's just trees and animals. What's the worst that can happen?     Mario: Now come on, you and Jayden go find some sticks for the campfire.     Daniel: Umm- I guess so.     Location of scene: Deeper in woods     Jayden: Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned this before we came along, but there's actually a rumor about this place.     Daniel: Excuse me? You're not serious are you? What's the rumor?     Jayden: I've heard there have been a lot of disappearances around these woods. Locals says there is some killer hanging his victim on trees. And that you can see the ghosts of the people buried here, haunting the area, making bizarre noises.     Daniel: What the heck is wrong with you guys bringing me to a place like this? You guys make me so mad I can't even- Did you hear th

 The opening credits will appear digitally on the screen, showing up after a cut from each character or location except the title and the director which will appear in the opening itself. The credits for the movie will be shown based on the amount of work done and overall impact to the opening.  Our working title is "The black Forest incident" The font we'll be using will be "Impact" with a bright red text to make it distinguishable from the background. When the scene opens the first few titles will be shown, staying for around 5-10 seconds each before fading away, once the action picks up and the camera cuts to a specific character or location there will be two for each section staying and leaving the same as the others The title and "directed by" will be shown in the opening rather than appearing on screen like the other title, near the end carved into the ground, spelt out by a pool of blood or something like that.

 Schedule: Our schedule will be pretty tight, and time will be limited. Our goal is to complete filming all scenes of the beginning of the film in a single day before we have to go home. The setting of it will be at night time and in close proximity to a friends house, so we are operating on their time mostly as well. The good news is, the sun sets early at this time of year so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue. The goal is to get all of our clips in by 10:00PM which is certainly manageable for only 2 minutes of footage. Locations: Hampton Pines Park in North Lauderdale will be our choice of location for our film. The all footage of the opening scene will take place here.  Actors: Jayden Capuano will be one of the actors. He is considered a good candidate to be the antagonist in this movie considering his stature and mannerisms. He also has experience in elementary school. This school is called PS69Q “School of Performing Arts”. Myles Hendee will most likely be the main or secondary

 I am using this site to get a feel of how movie title sequences are made. Since they can be important for setting the tone for the whole movie. They are also used to introduce characters and the plot. A bad title scene can make the upcoming scenes confusing. I want to see what the best movie producers do with their title scenes so I can learn from that. Even though some movie title scenes break conventions they are still interesting to watch and learn from. I will use this website to watch normal title scenes that don't break conventions and take that and use it in my own short. Though there are many types of movie genres that have different types of title sequences I will only focus on horror. Horror generally has similar types of title scenes with some killer and his victims being established. The movie will use the sense of horror and confusion to its advantage during the title sequence which establishes the tone and mood for the movie.
