make sure I find industry practice and have followed timings from other films I have researched so I know when the titles and credits come in
find out who distributes hammer horror films so that I follow industry practice, can use them for distributor.
have a look on premier at the type of font I'm using or might want to use, screen shot them and put them on my blog
think about when the most significant parts of my film happen because that's when he credits should start coming

how my research has influenced my film
during my film planning I have researched multiple things, while these have all influenced my final piece the ones that influenced it the most are:
The Introduction Of Pans Labyrinth - This is one of the things that has inspired my original idea of using a music box and having close ups of Little Red as she lays dying. It gave me theses ideas in the introduction and the end when the audience watches as ofelia lays on the ground f the centre of the maze dying.
The Company Of Wolves - This film helped me to decide to definitely do a fairy-tale theme and showed me that fairy-tales could make good horror films. The evidence of its inspiration is in the sound of the movie
The Candidate - This is what inspired me to do a film that builds suspense. Suspense is built by cutting between the subjects face and the white tennis shoes, it is mainly built by the feet getting faster, it climaxes when the girl shrugs off her coat and runs away. It also originally gave me the idea to use the sound of a ticking clock, however I later replaced this with the idea to use the sound of a music box instead because it makes it sound more sinister.
In this scene the future victim (in white/has his back to the audience and believes he's being recruited), is being told about the society and that their members wish people dead for other members. in this scene the victim doesn't know that he will be a victim, however during this scene the suspense is built in two ways. The first is that the audience can visibly see that the victim is starting to believe in this society. The second is through sound, for the entire film there is the sound of a clock ticking in the background, this helps to build suspense because it slowly gets louder and louder, it starts out as a slow ticking (like a stop watch) that fades during the narration at the start. There is also the sound of what sounds like a drum and what sounds like a violin/base, they fade out during the interview however all three sound come back at the end of the conversation.

have a shot of Little Red slowly getting faster then go into shot of L.R running away through the woods (shot 510)
feedback 23/02/15
shot 510 - good opening shot, establishes action
shot 514 - range of different shots to establish action, has good opening but a bad end, dump it.
shot 515 - possible
shot 519 - a good Point of View shot
shot 522 - keep it
have running then do the opening credits sequence
give a reason, why is she running?
could have 2 girls.
if I go with the 2 girls:
have the two girls walking 1 brakes off the other goes into the woods.
have the sound of footsteps the one that goes into the woods is getting nervous e.g. gripping backpack or doing something with their hands
get a shot of feet going through a puddle (like shot 013)and walking along
have a shot of Little Red slowly getting faster then go into shot of L.R running away through the woods (shot 510)
use a close up or medium close up of portraits of girls looking anxious
they're aware that they may be being followed
possible shot of killer approaching?
or don't see the killer?
see feet go through water
sound of someone breaking a twig/branch?
