Possible Music changes

As regards to music in our opening, following a discussion today, we all felt we had come to the conclusion of using Sam the Sham, just because it seemed to fit well with what we were doing, and it was more of a quick fix, so we have been exploring other music options, so me turned out to be copyrighted and some are not and we feel could be good to use.
Links (Red=copyrighted/Green=Possible tracks):

Chris Rea

Jamie Woon - Wayfaring Stranger (Burial Remix)

Fever Ray - The Wolf

Olafur Arnalds

Eerie'

Sorrow'
I think if the incredibly annoying and restricting rules on copyright weren't stopping us from using the music we wanted, I would have gone for either CYMK - James Blake as it's the music I envisaged when I came up with the idea for Red, or I would have used Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, as the scene in which it was used in, in London To Brighton really inspired me and I thought it worked really well then and would work really well if we were able to use it in our video. Going on the same concept of the London the Brighton scene, if there were no copyright rules I would have also considered using Bond's Big Love Adagio, as I am a big fan of Bond and their versions of classics, and I again think especially the intro of the song would work with our video, to give it a more eerie feel. I would also have loved to have used Agnes Obel - Riverside (Lulu Rouge Remix) as I am again a big fan of the song and the two artists, I feel being 'intune' and interested in the piece of music it's self really helps with making a piece of work more personal and original.
My personal favorite choice of alternative song is Amanda Seyfried's version of Lil' Red Riding Hood, the Sam the Sham's original, because it still fits with the idea, and it's still eerie, but it suits the video better, and it's less comical then the original (no offence Sam). The song is also free from copyright.

Developments/set backs

Over our filming over last two days we have encountered a few problems such as weather conditions, which helped and hindered us at times such as in this shot:

The wind made the scene very atmospheric and we used it to our advantage, however even when trying to use the tripod the wind made having a steady shot very difficult. There is also a shot we're trying to make which we needed a duplicate Red Riding hood which we originally made from a stick and crash helmet so we are changing our design as the body was to thin with just the stick, so we decided to make like a crucifix like figure to add more padding and make it more convincing.

Finally in possession of our Red Hood, Tailor made courtesy of Mum.

Effects

The effects we are planning to use are:

• An overlay of Red over the Wolf to show the two different personalities. 
• A static effect to show the change in personalities between Red and Wolf.

Developments

We have to decided to add the hint of supernatural, such as things falling without being touched, so they look as if the are falling on their own, one way we were planning to show this was going to be like the scene in Paranormal activity. 
And we're planning to add a shot of a wicker basket falling of a banister buy it's self. These shots are not to make the watcher believe there is elements of ghost's and spirits in the opening, but to make Red's unstable state of mind clearer to the audience and to make the whole opening more eerie and haunting.

Example titles

These are two of the possible title we could use. They will obviously be in video form and we haven't decided whether to use this font or not, but the gif's just show what they'll be like. If we use the puddle one we were planning to have Red running through the puddle which would link to the video, and the Tree one would be a stop frame of the moon going over the tree which at the beginning of the shot would pan up from Red running past, I have an App which would make the stop frame easy to do.

Example 2:

Developments

In this location we were planning to have Red outside the church looking innocent and then having a static effect and switching to the more run down church to shown Red's state of mind, and give the video an eerie effect.

In this shot we were planning to throw Reds hood from the window were you can see me standing, and put it in slow motion, which would look very effective.
