  1.     How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?      1 title is displayed during the opening scene. It is the title of the movie “She Dies                     Tomorrow” on a black screen. The letters are an abstract pattern, mostly including red.  2.

Pitch 2: When a late-night drive goes wrong, you're forced to do things you never thought you would. But ever since that night, weird, unexplainable things have been happening, and you just can't shake the feeling something is watching you. Pitch 1: We really like the idea of the first pitch. It is something different and interesting. We sat and brainstormed ways we could execute this pitch. We agreed that it is something we really want to do, but there are pros and cons. It would be exciting and creative, but there is no easy way to replicate the setting and effects that this pitch would require.  Pitch 2: This pitch is another one that we found very interesting. Kaya and I agreed that this would be exciting to film and edit. The idea of it is fairly used, but we thought of ways we could make it our own....
