 Today was my second and last day of filming. I am confident that I have completely finished filming my opening sequence. However, just to be safe, I have allotted an extra day to film any additional clips if need be.

Main protagonists usually wear light colors, like a little girl in pastel colored clothes or a teenager in jeans and a sweater. There are certain tropes that do contribute to costumes, ranging from villains to their victims. Usually antagonists have a noticeable, easily remembered costume.

Jason Voorhees from “Friday the 13th” wears a hockey mask, making him hard to miss.     Lighting (L): Dark, gloomy, black and white and very cool colors.
