Times of day we used to film?
We did not film at any specific time of day as our opening title sequence was mostly filmed inside where daylight is rarely seen. Although when we did film outside, we filmed around mid day (11:30-15:05) to ensure what we were filming was clearly visible, for example the quick shots of the fox fur were filmed outside to clearly show the blood stained fur blowing in the wind.
Lighting
lighting is very important in a film because it can help create different atmospheres and how the audience see certain scenes and characters during that film. An example of this is if you had a group of teenagers at a park in high key lighting you would think that they are innocents children and are just having a chilled day but, if they were to be in low key lighting, than the perception of these teenagers would change as they would be seen to be up to no good and being mischievous. Also an example of how it can create the right atmosphere intended for the scene is that if you wanted to create a tense atmosphere when walking in the forest, you wouldn't have it in the daylight because it would be a casual thing but you can create this tension by setting it in the dark.
Throughout our opening sequence, we have different ranges of lighting from scenes where you can just about see the character, to scenes where it is really light. We choose to do this as during certain scenes we want the audience to focus on specific things. An example of this is, the close up shot of the killers younger self blending into his older self, we chose to have very dark lighting in this as we wanted the audience to focus on the character as this is a key part of the sequence.

Collectively, we did not use a very dynamic range of lighting in our opening title sequence, the whole sequence is filmed in very dark places, usually with only enough light to highlight objects and people that need to be focused on, our use of gloomy spotlights and dull and dark lighting also contributed to the erie and tense atmosphere in the scenes. Here there is only enough light to highlight Clarence's face.
The brightest scenes in our entire opening title sequence were of the narrator / doctors mouth, Clarence's interview and the torture scene.
