Synopsis for Blood Rose

In our film noir "Blood Rose" there in an underlying tone of mystery through the anonymity of the murderer. This hooks the viewer in because they want to see who it is. The scene opens with an establishing shot so the scene is set for the viewer and they have established a link with the location. The shot ends and were introduced to the murder scene and the two protagonists of the story (Jamie and Harry). They are inspecting a body and the viewer is given a POV view of the scene making them feel like they are truly there. Then dialogue is exchanged between the two of them and we learn that this isn't the only killing of this nature of late. Then you're given a flashback of the scene earlier in the day where we watch the murder taking place and are again given a POV shot but this time in the antagonists view where watch the killing. The flashback ends and we are taken to the office of the detectives, where the phone rings and we learn again there is another identical murder, music begins and the opening title screen fades in.  

Title Sequence of Blood Rose

This is our title sequence for Blood Rose and all of the titles are in the right conventional order taken from the film Skyfall. This helped me understand what titles go where and why they do that certain order.
2R products is the name for our studio and we decided to make a very basic studio logo so we could have more time to film and edit the overall piece. Over the top of the titles we decided to add music so that it creates a better atmosphere. We decided to choose that music because it matches the opening sequence and it also links to the fact that it is a film noir.

This is our studio logo that we decided to use.
