Pre-Production: Meeting 5

When we chose to order the book on eBay it didn't work well as the book turned out to be too small and we couldn't use it within our opening sequence.

As we felt like we didn't have enough time to order a new book we started to make our own book with materials that we already had. This included:

• A3 paper which we would fold in half.
• Leather fabric as we liked the look of this from the different books we looked at above.
• String/cotton to hold the book together.
• Coffee (to stain the pages to make the book feel older).

We stuck down the different news paper articles to the pages of our book which we teared to make them look old and used but also that the person who owned the book had done it quickly to create a sense of mystery.

After this had been done we then used the coffee to stain the pages to give a sense of oldness so that they had been created a long time ago but also that the opening sequence was based around 20 years earlier.

This was the finished product of the book:

Through most of the pages, we have included some newspaper articles of missing people and text to exaggerate the fact that someone has been in the room that the main character is reporting on. Throughout these pages, we have incorporated titles into the text as we though that this would be a creative and effective way to show our titles, we blended them into the text to make them look old and used to help create the same effect of the mysterious book.

These are examples of what the pages look like:

Next, we will start the production stage and film our opening sequence, using the book that we have made.
