Props: newspaper montage

For the opening section of our film we decided to incorporate newspaper articles to foreshadow the deaths that signify the end of the opening, and introduce the villian to the rest of the film. This would also give us a chance to create opening credits which are common conventions of film openings.

I began by cutting out newspaper articles and sticking them to a piece of cardboard. I then cut out relevant words and phrases such as 'death' and 'missing', and then I used the photos' Summer took of us, imitating mortuary photos. I then edited these to increase the contrast so there were more shadows, and then printed them out and added them to the montage. I then filmed a pan of the montage and uploaded it.
