Research of Credits
By Keri Rothwell- Douglas

In an Film, the opening credits are shown at the very beginning within the opening sequence and list the most important members with the production team. They are now usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show. There may or may not be accompanying music. Where opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence 

Opening credits since the early 1980s, if present at all, identify the major actors and crew, while the closing credits list an extensive cast and production crew. Historically, however, opening credits have been the only source of crew credits and, largely, the cast, although over time the tendency to repeat the cast, and perhaps add a few players, with their roles identified (as was not always the case in the opening credits), evolved. The ascendancy of television movies after 1964 and the increasingly short "shelf-life" of films in theaters has largely contributed to the credits convention which came with television programs from the beginning, of holding the vast majority of cast and crew information for display at the end of the show.

or teaser (brief scene), that helps to set the stage for the episode or film.

Locations Research
By Alice Driver

Southfields Park

Turnham Green Park

These are the two locations which I have suggested where we should shoot our opening film. They are local to us which is beneficial to all of us and they have good playground settings which is what we need.

- What we need to have in this location:

Big trees- to represent horror and give off a frightening image

Playground swings- This could threat childhood innocents which will make the viewer seem uncomfortable. I think this would be an important feature to use in a horror film because you wouldn’t expect a horror opening to start in a children’s play area.

Playground round-about- This again also represents child features.
