The original clip (shown above) of the one-take shot looked very dull and lifeless, and this is because it got darker outside as I filmed this. I needed this particular to match with the previous shot (of the female character standing up then walking), because this shows that it is the start of the film, hence why it is a lot brighter than the other scenes. To tackle this problem, I played around with the brightness and contrast of the clip, and the changed the curves. Since the clip of the female character standing up is more orange-toned, I increased the red and decreased the blue. This made the clip a lot more identical than it was before.

After I put all the shots together to make sense of the story, I had to figure out where to include my credits. I decided that the placement of my credits would be on the bottom left/right of each clip. This is because I wanted to mimic the female character and how she is seen crawling on the ground. I also kept the titles to be on the bottom of each clip, because the consistent placement of the titles would allow the audience to read the titles more clearly, and prevent their eyes moving all over the place - if the titles were placed in different areas of the clip. Furthermore, I decided to keep the font of my credits the same as my production logo, because this specific font (Trajan Pro) looks very threatening and creepy as it has sharp tails at the end of each letter, and this would be able to convey the genre of my film opening. Additionally, I have kept the font the same for the title card of my film opening, but I have included a shadow as this would represent the reflection of the female character, which is the shadow that she sees (who is also "following" her).

Additionally, I have challenge the conventional flow of the opening credits to reveal the title at the end of the sequence. This is because if I revealed the title in the beginning, it would unveil the plot, and not give the idea that it is in reverse chronology. Furthermore, revealing the title at the end of the opening will encourage my audience to want to watch the rest of the film as they would be curious as to why the female character is the way she currently is.
