Practice Shots

Test of Camerawork

 We had a half day so me and my group decided to test out my camera that i brought in from home to see if we can use it for our filming so we dont have to use the schools one. One of the first things we did was Zoom in and Zoom out shots.

They came out better than i thought it would come out because i didnt think that the camera would focus on the words properly but it did.We tested this shot because we are planning to use the type of shot in our title sequence when the doctor and Maria are both writting in their diaries.

Typography / Research

We looked at typography that we could use for our title sequence using, 'Da Font',we wanted edgy and weird font to flow with out suspense title sequence. We made up two major star characters that are playing the two main characters in our title sequence.

These are the few typographys we came up with so far for out title sequence. We just played around with the different type of text we coould use and the different sizes as well. The first and second one we decided as a group that they are the best.

Production Plan

Up Coming Dates 

I~n Friday's lesson, we needed to create a Production Plan (Dates of what we did) between our group. I found out that you can make a Outlook Calender, so i told the rest of the group that i will add them to the admin list so they themselves can add or take away some dates that we have done.

I made a Outlook Calender on my email account to record all of the things we have done until our deadline. 

In Friday's lesson we wanted to create a calendar for:planning the filming process,key thing for the sequences and dates to meet up.

In the half term we have all decided to meet up for two days to get the all filming done. 

This is what we have done so far:

Teacher Feedback

This is our teacher feed back of what our title sequence idea is so far.

I decided to use Lucy's upload on SoundCloud because she shared it on our Facebook group chat and we all have shared some pictures that the others have used.

Survey

Emily: Friday's Lesson

We were told that we have to create a survey of what type of things we could ask our audience.

We made a SurveyMonkey on a thriller genre to collect data to see what our audience thinks towards our group genre. This is what we came up with so far: 

The most popular movie genre is Horror, Action and Thriller.

The most answer to go to the cinema was advertisement and a friend recommending a film. Stars in the film was next.

The most seen film was Saw in our survey, which doesn't portray what type of film we are doing  The next

 result is Taken. 

Thses results make us think about how we are going to make sure that the title sequence is in line with this survey.

To do list

1. Finish Individual Analysis
2. Put Up Audience Survey
3. Write About Our Text/Font
4. Teacher Comments
5. Put Storyboard Up and Write About It
6. Write about Production Planning in Emily's Lesson

Storyboard#2

In Friday's lesson we finally finished our storyboard after quite some time of trying to figure out where everything is going to go. We included camera angles and how long it will roughly be on our screen. In total we successfully have 34 shots for our title sequence.

                                                 
There are 5 thumbnail boxes fill with images but we split some of them because we were thinking to do a split screen of the Doctor and the girl to show their contrast of were they are and their surroundings.  



The second page of our storyboard shows the different rooms that they are comfortable in which we did in a pan. They get ready and leave their houses.

On the third page of the storyboard we decided to include extreme close up shots so that we can portray the emotion and tension of the characters. We want the audience to feel what we are trying to produce.

The fourth page of the title sequence lets the audience start to want to know what is going to happen to the girl as the Doctor is following her but she doesn't know that he is a Doctor. This is the twist in the story that we are trying to create suspense to the audience so they want to know beyond the title sequence.

The fifth page of the title sequence shows the audience that the girl has been caught and probably taken somewhere but they do not know where. This bit of the title sequence is the climax as a question pops up about what was the Doctor doing following a girl and what is he going to do to her after he has got her

This last bit of the title sequence we are planning to get some still shots of when we are filming to show the journey the girl thinks she  has gone through. This should last for about 10 seconds.
