AND THEY'RE OFF!
After looking at a large selection of fonts, on http://www.1001freefonts.com/ , we narrowed down our options to:
We chose these because they all seemed fairly sinister with 'Barbed Type' being similar to the 'Twisted Pictures' logo who make the 'Saw' films. In the end though, we decided we didnt want to be too similar to saw as our film is more of a thriller than an all-out gorey horror movie. The font we decided to go with in the end was '1942 Report' as this font look sort of old and dingey, much like the set for our sequence. It's also quite out-of-line with parts seeming to be uneven which accentuates the unnerving feel of the sequence altogether.

After talking to one of the other groups, they said they had found a website which was good for copyright-free music. http://www.freeplaymusic.com/. We decided to have a look and see if we could come up with some music that would be appropriate for our sequence. After TRAWLING through the TONNES of music they have on this site, we narrowed it down to a few tracks:
- Darkstar
- Drones
- The Platform
- Stardust Collector
Eventually, we decided on 'The Platform' as we thought it would be a good track to edit to with some loud, abrupt sounds and mysterious feel. We felt it reflects our entire sequence with the victim being tied up and gagged, not knowing where he is and the entire set being very mysterious and the 'killer'/'kidnapper' having some sudden mood swings that we could use to edit to. We're also going to capture some sound effects in our next shoot. Sounds like dripping water, chains, the hand banging on the door etc.

Work is coming on well however we can not use some of the footage is blurred due to the flicker of the light. Another problem with the flickering light is that it is too rhythmic so looks really unbelievable. Another problem is the light on each of the character varies so when we've edited the conversation it looks strange. So instead we are going to re-shoot again with a dim light but just constant instead of flickering. Next tuesday we are go9ing to re-shoot the conversation again.
