Today me and Libby worked on finishing our title sequence, we had to re-do a few aspects such as filming in Si Hin's take away. As this can no longer happen as we do not have permission. This set us all back as we needed to show Si Hin's character to be within a Chinese setting to give the essence of a real triad gang. So right now as a group we are back to thinking of settings, Si Hin has suggested a Chinese meat packing suppliers in which he buys from. So tomorrow he shall visit them and ask them if we can film within their premises.

Due to this location change me and Libby have now made a new storyboard with the changes of the setting in hope that they will let us film there. Si Hin shall ask them if we can film them working and if we can film within their office once they have closed and if some of the workers there wouldn't mind starring in our title sequence. If we can get all of this footage it would make our title sequence much better as it would give it a more gritter and dark side.

Me and Si Hin are also looking within using Chinese music this weekend as we feel this will make our title sequence flow much more. Also we are focusing within a rock n roll song which is fast and sounds heavy as we believe this will give our title sequence a much more tougher edge. We are currently trying to find certain songs that are not copy righted, so we are trailing through YouTube to find a song in this moment of time. There is one song in particular that we think would be a perfect match but we have to search through the UK and Chinese copy right laws, so we will update when we have found a solution.

Another aspect we have finalised today is that of who will be playing our investigator. We have decided to go with using Sean Simmons as we know he enjoys acting, so we hope that he can bring a compelling mysterious and detached essences to our investigator. We have also decided upon changing the appearance and persona of our investigator instead of having someone who looks dapper and like a dandy we have decided to go with a rough and messy look. We want him to have rolled up sleeves and someone who smokes as if to connote how he is careless and reckless and someone not to be messed with.
