Title change - During Production
The original title for the Thriller was "In Thus Life". After talks both me and Shaun (Film partner) decided on a new title which is "Cursed life". I agree that this fits our thriller piece well and gives our opening a little more mystery.
Planetational studio's - During Production
This is the company like Warner Bros for our thriller. The logo appears in the opening to our thriller.
This is the distributor of our thriller piece.

Opening Script
In the two minute opening to the thriller- "Cursed Life", the following lines will be used in the opening. These lines will be spoken by the voiceover, that will be used to help with setting the thriller and part of the story behind the thriller.
These lines will be spoken by Ryan Parsons, who is the other person in my team.
" Death was only the beginning, as you made it".
" Walking a lifeless, worthless path of the retribution of my soul".
" The soul in which you have taken from me".
" You have taken everything from me; Love, friends and my life and placed a curse in its place".
" A curse of death... A curse of loneliness.... A curse of a ghoul".
" Everything I touch turns me into the curse".
" I swear... I will have my retribution, I will find you.... as this is my curse but my life, I will find you.. In this cursed life or the next".
Following lines that may be added to the thriller:
" Why did you do this to me?"
" Was it a punishment form my crime?"
" Lost within the body in which you left it worthless and in dark,
soulless".
" Did I die for a reason or I'm already dead".

This was discontinued during editing as the sound quality was poor and in my view would have ruined the piece.
