Title Research
Because the titling is one of the important aspects of a film opening, I decided to go researching on a website called http://www.artofthetitle.com.
This site had the title sequences of many movies and drama series.
Of course because I wasn't including animation in my short film I decided to take ideas of what style and concept they have when it comes to the wording and the font.
Personally for my film opening I wanted something minimalistic with a mysterious edge.
The three sequences above are the ones I liked especially for the font out of the many many there.

Filming Day 4: The Date
The previous shooting for the scenes of the date were much similar to these. This time the setting was changed to a casual restaurant and unlike last time, the actresses face was shown. Another difference was that this time the actor too had to have a mysterious air around him, He was no longer the naive business man but a serial killer in disguise.
This time the shoot went smoothly. Dialouges were involved and there was a mysterious aura around both the actors. It took a while for them to loosen up and delve in their role but over all the shoot went good.
The lighting was perfect throughout in my opinion and we kept the continuity in check.
Nikmateen my group member headed the sound so that it goes flawlessly.
I did the direction and managed the work of a cinematographer plus the setting.

Filming day 3: Getting Ready for the Date (guy)
Much like the getting ready scenes of the protagonist, there are scenes of the antagonist. In these scenes his side is revealed. What he is and what he wants and what he's done. Everything is told by the different actions taking place and the contrast between the casual activities and the darker setting.
This when compared to the girl's scenes shows that they are the same in some sense but both are fighting for different things. These scenes show the link between the two characters is far more deeper than what is shown on the outside.
Due to one of my group members dropping the subject and the third failing to be present at the shooting, I had to handle the recording of these scenes. The mic was mounted on a boom pole and held by a Shiza while the framing, directing the actor and the setting was all done by her too.
The lighting was a problem. The voltage of the lights was too high so the switch would burn up so there was lack of lighting.
