Final - Dot to Dot

Draft

Published by Alex Farnell under , , , on 21:27
From our draft film we have found out that we need more close ups of different body parts of our characters.

We think this because at the moment our film isn't very fast paced all the way through how we'd like it to be. We really like part of the sequence when the two characters go up stairs then jump down because we did a lot of shot variety which works with the pace, we need to add more shot variety to get the tempo right for the film.

we need:

  • Close up of Adam's eyes
  • Close up of Rob's eyes
  • Close up of Adam's feet
  • Close up of Rob's feet
  • Close up of bottle smashing
  • Close up of Adam's face
  • Close up of Rob's reaction
  • Low angle shot of Adam jumping fence
  • Low angle shot of Rob jumping fence
  • Close up of Adam's arms while running
  • Close up of Rob's arms while running.
  • Reshoot the first focussing scene with the flower replacing the clown.

Music

The Fella Goes Arctic - Avenue  by  thefella

I really like this, i think this is something like what we need, the calm bit for the flash backs then the more upbeatness as it continues.

I think this is perfect. I like the simpleness yet the atmospheric feel of it. I think that we should try it against the film.

Filming.

Published by Alex Farnell under , on 22:43
Me and Reece filmed the majority of our shots. I have also film the bible focussing shots. Then. we will only be left with shots with the young girl in.
We have Adam Ringrose playing our main character and Rob as our chaser.

This is us in action:





music

After looking across a few sites and playing around with garage band, i've found what i think is the most ideal site for our needs: freeplaymusic.com. the website allows me to search through music by using various keywords, or looking through menu's such as the genre of the music, and a particularly useful menu for our needs, "feeling" of the music. tracks are actually listed under the emotional effect they have on people and i am finding this really useful. so far, i have found these tracks which we don't think are right mainly because of the tempo or being to up beat:

"forever and ever" - to soft and not fast

"Songs without words 19 5"


Reece, i found this song:
Logan 5-Little Gothic Masterpiece  by  Logan5
I like beginning of it because it gives us the unknowingness of our character running, i thought it was good for the slow part of our song, thinking it would pick up pace i listened on and the speaking kind of ruins it for us. I think our music needs to start off quite slow then pick up pace.

Somber moments in life  by  Mr Sinister
I also quite liked this for the effect at the beginning but it doesn't really pick up pace and wouldn't fit the ending of our piece. BAD TIMES

I found this song, see what you think, it might be a bit hop hoppy but I think it could work

i also like the build up in this:

Yes, i know it's only 40 seconds long but i'm sure we could figure something out.

And lastly this one:

although it might be a bit "district 9" if you get my drift, for some reason it reminds me of it? Also, it could be a bit off beat?

Storyboard Animatic

Published by Alex Farnell under , , , on 14:48


This is the animatic of our storyboard. Personally, i think that the timings will work well, although we may add a few extra shots into it, this is good becuase some of the running shots could be cut down.

Font types for our opening sequence.

Published by Alex Farnell under , , on 09:31
I was thinking of a variety of different fonts wecould use for our title sequence.

I found these fonts on the internet and i chose to use this list to look at because i like all the different styles. Personally, i feel that the Benjamin Gothic font is the most suitable for our film becuase i like the thick style of it. I like the way it flows together aswell. I also like the Intrepid font because i think it's neat and straight. This could connote the style of our film to the audience. I don't think the Grenadier font is suitable because it's not very nice to look at. It's difficult to read and it very fancy. This also looks like it would suit an older film. This font reminds me of ivy and nature which doesn't fit the theme of our film.

Audience Profile.

Published by Alex Farnell under , , , on 20:34
This is the audience profile for our film: frank, is a 19 year old boy, who likes to hang out with his mates often, and meet them at the pub for a few pints and a laugh. he enjoys a good film and likes to be out and about instead of at home. he likes a film which doesent require a high amount of thought to digest, but does make him think and has a few various twists, yet also keeps some action in it. Something that keeps him on the edge of his seat at all times is his idea of a great film - something that hits him all of a sudden and gives him the thrill of sudden realization of a hidden narrative really knocks his socks off.Audience Profiling

Filming.

Published by Alex Farnell under , on 13:46
Today I shall film the opening shots to our piece. ,I'm going to do the flowers, necklace and clock shots for i haven't yet gotten hold of a bible.

These are shots number 1,3,7,15, 21,22,24,26,27,31,34,35,39,42,43,47,50,51,55

These are obviously going to be repeated shots, but I'll take multiple shots of each objects and choose which ones we like best.

Here's some photos of the different in focus objects:







Out of these shots personally, i like the last one, i like the brightness and the positioning of the three flowers




As with the first group, i like the last shot the best, i like the tilted look and the way the cross is clearly visable.






I like the second to last shot from these.
