Dark Room Shots

We went to the Dark room to shoot abstract shots of the murder's surroundings. This included the lights shaking and the water running. We wanted to create an eerie effect.
We took shots such as the water running and the red lights. We used parts of this shoot to put in parts of our opening.

These are the credits we hope to include in the title sequence to our thriller. The titles will be done in photoshop, edited and formatted. Then imported to Final cut express. This is so that the titles can be placed over the top of our footage to create a more proffensional thriller title sequence.: -
