Hide title

As Matt is easily the best at creating and manipulating photos, he has created the title itself for out title 'hide'. After showing us the first draft and then making changes according to our feedback, he has made a really nice looking graphic that is being used in our OTS.

OTS Story line

For the film we are creating the opening title sequence for is going to be an adaptation of the classic goth horror story of 'Jekyll and Hyde'. We believe however that we have made enough adaptations to the story to make it original.

We have kept true to a few key concepts and changed the rest of the story. We are still using some of the names in the story (i.e. Jekyll, Hyde, Richard.) We have kept true to Jekyll changing to Hyde spontaneously and that Hyde murders Jekyll's lover.

However, we have changed many things about the story:

• Jekyll is no longer a scientist, he is a journalism student.
• Richard Enfield (a distant cousin of Utterson's) was murdered before the film starts as opposed to him playing a key part in the narrative.
• Gabriel Utterson is not the primary narrative, it is shown through Jekyll's eyes with flashbacks and clips of Hyde.
• Jekyll is investigating these murders since a close friend (Richard Enfield) was murdered and he thinks he is the only one interested anymore
• Jekyll does not know that he is also Hyde until very late in the story.
• The murders committed by Hyde are completely different to the ones written in the novel.
• Alexis (Jekyll's lover) Is murdered at the beginning of the film, rather than midway through the novel.
