Greg's Titling analysis: Kill Bill

 The title sequence starts with a sound bridge of a gunshot when Uma Thurman's character gets shot

 It cuts straight into white text (as seen above), the black background shows us that she is in a coma or dead, as black is a colour that represents death

 The text gets a little bigger after it fades into the next title.

We see a fade to the title, which is bigger than the other titles.

Keegan- make a risk assessment list of everything dangerous in the house (including loft)

Greg-Start editing footage (including the ones we may redo) into the timeline

Lighting experiment

 This is our lighting experiment. We experimented with low-key lighting in a dark area, to create enigma in something as simple as looking in a mirror.

To create this effect, we used an LED light with an orange gel over the light. We directed this light onto the wall in front of the subject. Behind the subject, we used another white light reflected off a mirror to show the back of his character, so we can see him better

The Props (what exactly they are) #gettingready

The Pizza box could be bought from Dominos and could actually be eaten on set after filing!
So the box would indeed need to be straight from Dominos with the fresh, hot pizza inside.

The shopping bags must be plastic, and we can fill them with random junk to add the the perception that the mother (Sarah) has just bought things from the local shop or superstore.

The Torches! Heavy Duty torches or if we cant gain access to any of these we will have to result to average torches. The torches could be used to light up boxes in the loft as well as the loft itself.

Stanley-knife: So we've had a think about what Jake would need to open the box that contains the watch & newspaper, and a Stanley-knife seems the most realistic option for the job. So we'll be using my old grey Stanley-knife as the prop.

Speakers: Using Keegan's portable speakers

We can just use home landline phone that the house (wherever we film) has.

Now the boxes seems to be the real problem. We will need to find lots and lots of boxes, but only one will need to have items in (which will have the newspaper on top). We can probably use the boxes that are scattered around the house on the ground floor in other shots like for example the shot of Jake & Kyle walking on the second floor and up the stairs, we could actually use these boxes again in the loft scene. We will probably need around 10 to 15 boxes of varied size but relatively large.
