4. Title Sequence
The idea for our title sequence is completely based around fire. We have
chosen to do this as fire is a recurring theme throughout the film. The title
sequence will open with James, who will play Damien in the title sequence,
striking a match, and dropping it into a bin that will set alight. Also we will
see Damien burn the school picture that contains all the bullies with their
faces circled in red pen, and his own face scribbled out of the picture. The
titles themselves will rise out of the fire and will be written in a way so as
that they look like smoke rising out of the fire. Going on over the top of all of
this we will have a voiceover of James talking about his experience and how
he got into the position he is in now.

6. Costs
We We believe that are film will be a relatively low budget film, costing
Around £20 million pounds to make. We will release it on Halloween
weekend as we want to capitalise on that time of the year and people
wanting to go and see a good scary, gory horror film. We believe that
our film could make £50 million overall.
