2:40	James	Personally preferred to create a film with a horror genre.
2:41	Kelly	Thought the creative way that the titles were presented in the film ‘Kill your friends’ could be incorporated into our project.
2:42	James	Explained his idea for a horror genre film which consisted of a character running down a street with different camera angles. Character then runs into a building and exchanges the following dialogue “Were you seen?” “No” with another character who is already in the building.
2:46	Alex	Has no preference on genre, but agreed with James’ idea. He created an additional idea based on James’ idea with the titles appearing during the running scene on objects within the street, such as posters and billboards.
2:47	Elly	Character could be stumbling whilst running to suggest that the character is frantic about arriving at the destination and occasionally heard breathing heavily as this is a common feature of a horror genre.
2:49	Alex	Radio clip could be added as a voice over whilst the character is running explaining the zombie apocalypse that will be depicted during the film.
2:55	Kelly	Suggested gathering inspiration from existing zombie films.
2:58	Alex	Films which revolve around zombie’s consist of: ‘Dawn of the Dead’, ’28 Days Later’, ‘Night of the Living Dead’.
2:59	Elly	Fast-paced music would be more suitable for the action.
3:01	James	However, the news could interrupt the existing audio when the visuals cut out.
3:12	Alex	The horror genre could be difficult to portray in a title sequence. Action would be easier but the character could still be running.
3:15	Elly	The character could be carrying a suit case to add an element of mystery.
3:18	Alex	At the end, the character could breakdown and pretend to shoot himself and as the gun shot sounds, the screen could blackout and the title could appear.

10:28	Alex	The title sequence is depicting the ending. It’s a flash forward.
10:29	Kelly	The build up and events which lead to the title sequence is described in the film.
10:34	Alex	Follows the story of the main character battle to cope with the loss of his daughter who had died. He becomes schizophrenic and can’t come to terms with the death of his daughter.
10:36	James	At the end of title sequence, the main character could still shoot himself in the head, as Alex suggested, but be holding a picture of his daughter.
10:38	Elly	It could be shot in black and white to emphasize the fact that this incident hasn’t happened yet and it’s foreshadowing future events.
10:40	Kelly	The genre is more crime than action now.
