Story Board

This is our story board for our trailer.

Film Title

For the title of our media project, we have decided to name our film 'The Venetian Mask'. The idea behind this name is because as our film is heavily influenced by places and themes associated with Italy, we decided that we would use something that epitomises Italian culture. The masks act like a layer of suspicion that can cover someone's face, and this plays into our storyline well by creating mystique within the audience. The masks also help to bring colour to our film, as they are typically very colourful, and help to bring vibrance to our piece.
