Filming!

Sure enough another bump in the road for us. We had planned to film on Monday 19th of Jan. However this did not go to plan. As we didnt have the main thing we needed to film a DV tape. So this set us back a stage. It didnt delay us much though as we managed to get ourselves a tape and we was on the way. On Friday 23rd we managed to film. We had our cast all set up and we was underway. We started to film at 11o'clock and finished around 1o'clock. As we began to film we relised that the victim was going to die whilst in the shower, however the showers in school dont work. So again we had to change our film. So we had the victim getting changed and the killer come up from behind and kill him. During the filming there were many knew ideas being suggested from us all. So we shot our orignal piece and added more shots through out. We shot many of the scens in differens camera asngles so we can have many editing scenes. So fingers crossed it works =]!

The Storyboards!

The Discussions

When we thought we had decided we had our final idea Nina said it was to simple as ther are not many locations and also there were not many shots. So again we started to think of ways we could make it not so boring. So we sat down and thougth again about our ideas. We had to pad it out as such. Our film is about homosexual hate crime, however from the way we had decided to film our piece it isnt clear what it is about. So as it is about gay hate crime, at the begining of the piece there are some insinuations of hate crime. We have added more locations and more characters. We ran through our ideas with Nina and she thinks that these ideas are alot better and also this would also bump our grades up if we was to do this.

The Projects Underway!

The whole project is starting to happen now thank god. Weve now got our date for filming Monday 19th =]. We went to the PE department to make sure it would be ok to use the showers for a few hours. There was a bit of trouble finding someone to go topless in the shower for us. But we managed to persuade someone. So the next step would be storyboards. We have already started them, howevre they are not finished. So today we are continuing to do so.

Our ideas we storyboarded are similar to CSI opening sequnce. I kike the idea of having many different cuts in the sequence of various different things happening. For example as it is a crime drama you would expect there to be a crima of some sort involved in the tilte sequence murder or assult, perhaps and fingerprints being taken and many other shots involving crime.

CSI Title Sequence

Opening Sequneces

The main-title sequence or the opening credits of a film are sometimes considered the most important piece in a film. When the lights go down in a cinema the opening credits of a film are the 1st images the audience see. It is crucial that the opening title gets the audience interested in the film and hooked right from the start. As this is the time when the audience make their decision weather they want to continue watching the film or not. The earliest credit sequences were for silent films. These were on title cards and containing printed material that were photographed and later put into the film. These cards also included the dialogue and set the time, place and action for the scenes. As the movie industry began to evolve, so did the titles. After the implementation of sound, titles began to function as a transition: They then began to show the film title, the name of the director and the list of actors within the film. Since then, the creation of film titles have changed dramatically. Over recent years technology has improved dramatically, desktop computers advance at a rapid pace, therefore companies have been able to create updated visually motion graphics.
