Font Types And Logo

For the research part of our thriller opening we have been looking at different font for film titles and as a group we have been researching different ones, so each member of my group will have different initial ideas for the font, i like these as they resemble thriller film openings as each one fo them being unique. they also reminded us of thriller film titles so we believed these were a good choice.

This is the logo we had desgined for our made up production for our opening we called it dead tree productions and we hope our logo represents this.

Problems So Far

So far during our thriller opening, we have expirenced problems such as the first filming date we had arranged.
We had arranged to meet on Saturday 14th November to film our opening. so we booked the camera and tripod for this date. on the friday we picked up the camera and the tripod but there was some mix up with collecting the tape as we believed someone had already picked it up so no one in our group had the tape
So on the Saturday we tried to see if we could find anyone with a tape but we were unable to. so the next lesson we arranged that Thursday 19th November we are to start filming then on that date. though this mis hap we have had to become extra organised with who has what and what we need for filming.
Also due to problems we have had to switch actors and we are now using a boy from our class instead of the original so we are now able to go home thursday lunch and film from lucnh and our two media lessons. this will now help us get it done sooner then later as it is easier to contact and sort out future filming dates if needed.
From these problems we have now sorted out who is in control of the camera at all times and who is in control of the tape at all times. we have also gone over who is bringing which props to my house to film. hopefully it will be successful as we are able to learn from our mistakes.

Before Filming.

Here are 2 of the imagesd that are on the shrine of elizabeth. chloe who is Elizabeth will be zoomed into on the jump shots where as me and charlotte will be scribbled out and crossed through so you can not see us this adds to the stalker effect. which adds more atmosphere

Before we began filming our thriller opening we had to think about and sort out our costume ideas for our actors. We found images on the internet of how we want our actor to dress and the setting is dark and eary we decided that black or grey would be best for him to wear as it would fit in with the setting. chhloe the girl who plays elizabeth will be wearing typical teenage fashionable clothes in the film opening there are alsoimages of her on the shrine so the girls clothing are of clothes that chloe/elizabeth would would need to be the same fashion the whole way through the film.

Anamatic Story Board

Animatics

To help us with our film opening, we have used animatics to allow us to have a visual view of what our film opening should include. An animatic is a short story board drawn up and film using the right amount of time allowed on each scene so that we are able to make sure we do not go over the time limit in our real thing.

In my group we found this particulary easy, we were able to share the roles out evenly so everyone was able to draw some of the scenes. We then filmed this where we tried to use the angles we wanted to show in the real film piece allowng the times to be how we wanted them as well. We then had to upload these onto the computer for editing where we added in the film titles. We cut the scenes down and made sure the titles flowed nicely through the scenes and made sure our filming was two minutes or under. Which is was dead on 2 minutes.

After we had edited this we then created our own music piece to demonstrate how we would like it to be in the real thing. We were all very pleased with what we had created that we might use it in our final piece.
I think that this has helped a lot as now i am more aware of what our opening has to include and i feel it will help my group out more in the long run.

Kiss the girls

I have chosen the opening to kiss the girls i cannot find an opening to it on youtube but there is the trailer.
I chose Kiss The Girls as it has the same conventions as the film opening that my group are hoping to make. As does ours the credit flash breifly on the screen and we are shown images of the girls. It also has eary music which we would also like to have. Also the camera movements put you on edge, as it is always moving around. The room is also dark and adds mystery which we would also like to have. I think that this a good example of a film opening that shows simular film conventions.
