Redo Behind the scences

This is the redo of the behind the scenes for the kitchen sequence. Its a bit shorter than the other one but this time we added a interview in the beginning. (:

30/01/13

In todays lesson, we did our storyboard for the park scene for saturday. We tried to make it so it wasn't too complicated as these are only going to be used for the flashbacks we have.

Location for park sequence

Location for park sequence



This is our location for where we are going to shot the park sequence. It is right next to dolphin nursery in Kingston. We chose this park because this park looks a creepier than other parks and it had swings that were kind of old and a roundabout that we need for our park sequences.

Thrusdays meeting

In todays lesson we had a little problem with opening our final cut that we editied, but in the end we fixed the problem and started again as our files where gone. We didn't get really far before so it wasn't a big problem for us to start again.

Wednesays meeting

In todays lesson we carried on our storyboard for our other filming sequence that we will be filming the coming friday.

Behind the scenes

This is our Behind the scenes for the kitchen scene. We had to wait quite a while for it to get dark to start shooting but i still think it turned out very well.

Thursdays meeting

In todays double period lesson me and katy continued the editing for the audience questionnaire. We have nearly finished editing this and will be continuing in next thursdays lesson.

First day of shooting

We started filiming today for our kitchen sequence. Although we had to wait a while for it to get dark to start shooting as it has to suit our genre horror/thriller. I still think it went really well, but i think we will need to redo some bits as some scenes didn't come out the way we wanted and are missing some bits.

Our story response

I think that our story for the opening sequence is going to be very good. I like it because, although it solves only two sequences, we still have to shot in a lot of different ways and do loads of different shots to make it more interesting and more appealing to our audience. We asked students in our sixth form about what they think about our story, and their response was that they all thought it is a good idea. They like the flashbacks we are going to be putting in the sequence, they said that this will be very effective. We didn't get any criticisms or what we need to change in our opening sequence, so we took it as they really liked our idea and its going to work well.

Mondays meeting

In todays lesson me and katy started edting the audience questionnaire. The rest of the editing we decided that i will go and finish it off at home.

Target audience research

This is our Target audience research. Our target audience is 15-24 of age. We got feed back for our story line. We told the audiences before the interview about our story and we all got back positive answers. They said that the flashbacks are a really good idea and that it is very effective. They also said that our idea is kind of mysterious and that, it makes them more wanting to come and see our film.

Thursdays meeting

In todays lesson me and abbie went out to do our audience questionnaire. We asked 3 people in our year and got some similar answers. We also started to edit what we filmed in imovie.

Opening scences

 

 Opening scenes

Narrative functions:

• To introduce character
• Establish narrative structure
• Captivate core themes
• Introduce core iconography
• Establishes audience expectation through use of generic conventions

Legally blonde

We know straight away that this is a girlie chick flick film also romance comedy film due to the titles that are shown before anything else. The titles are written in very feminine like writing and also the colour is in pink which gives us an impression straight away that this is a film for girls. We are also shown a girl riding a bike and her seeking the attention of many male characters. The way she is dressed with the skirt and a crop top makes it even more girl as really girlie girls are known to wear those kind of clothes. Everything is mostly pink, blue and white that girls really like. Also in the mise en scene we are shown nail varnish and the girl putting on nail varnish which is also a sign that this is a film based for girls.
We are also shown a envelope which is also pink that we can see its some sort of card for a girl called 'Ellie' as we see people signing in it. We are also told that she is the main character of the film. We seem to be shown a place where girls live together, like a boarding school and what also makes it sure of what type of genre this is, is because there are actually only showing girls and not boys. Also flowers and bears are shown which represents what girls like as well. The main genre for this movie is shown very obviously with the use of colour, font and the mise en scene from just the opening sequence.
The character also gives us a clear knowledge of what genre this movie is. We see that the character is wearing really pink strap sandals and a dress which is also pink and also all the jewellery she is wearing. This shows us that girls normally like dressing up with all the makeup and jewellery. We are also shown a banner that says homecoming queen which shows that the girls wear makeup and jewellery and wear really standing out clothes to get something out of it, like for example homecoming queen. It shows that girls do this to make them look more beautiful and stand out of the crowd.

Final destination 5

From the beginning of the film we know that this is a high budget film because of the producing company is the one that we all recognise. Also it just seems, by the way we are shown the woman and shes shaking and she has a teddy bear which may present that she is very nervous about getting her eyes down, that something is about to happen. The music that is played from the beginning seems very deep and dark and that also tells us that this is a some sort of horror/thriller film. I think that the music represents the whole genre. Because without the music it would just seem like nothings going on and it wont be as effective as with the music.
The sound starts off quite quite but when we are shown something that happens that is extreme the sound changes and gets louder and we hear all these different sounds that tell us straight away that this is definitely a horror film. An example of this is when the monitor gets higher and the girl starts to panic and then she starts screaming and this is when the music increases to create tension for the audience. This makes it more willing for the audience to watch this film because it makes us more engaged in it as we want to know what happens next.
They've made the trailer very engaging for the audience from the beginning. The effects of the sound and the shot cuts are brilliant, they make it eye catching by showing the main parts of the sequence and cutting where it actually happens. This makes audiences think for a bit about what will happen next and then boom it happens. I think this is also very important in a film because this is what the audiences want in a horror film, the feeling of waiting and getting ready for the fright and when they don't expect it, it happens. They show a clear separation from the main characters and just the extra characters. They do this by either focusing with the camera on that character more or they show clearing throw the shots and shows them throw most of the film, that this is the main character and somethings going to happen to this character.

Saw

 

 

From this, we can see from the beginning that from the distribution company that we are shown, that this is a high budget horror film.

The credits that are shown after are very bold and in capital letters to make it stand out and for us to be able to catch what they are trying to say.

Also, from the start of the trailer, the music starts straight away very dark and mysterious, and just from the music we could tell that this is a horror film.

We hear the narrator talking in the background which i think its very effective as it makes the audience think that we are actually in the film and witnessing what is happening as well as the narrator.

We know that this is based on a serial killer and some sort of game because we are shown people trapped in a place with all different types of saws. We are also get the idea that this killer, wants them to try and get out of the problem themselves but they he knows that they will die anyway.

We also know that this is a horror film, not just because of the music and the narrative at the backgrounds but also because we can hear the people screaming for help.

This trailer makes the audiences more engaged in the film and cuts to where the main things happen. This makes the audiences want to watch it and see what actually happens.

They cut the shots very quickly which makes it more effective. They cut through each scene to show the most important parts of the trailer and i think that this builds up the tension of the audiences when they are only watching the trailer.

Credits and titles

Credits and titles

The opening credits are shown at the very beginning, and list the most important members of the production. They are usually shown on a blank screen (blocked colour) or static pictures, or sometimes on top of the action in the film. The music can be playing or not. The opening credits identifies the major actors and crew of the film while the closing credits list an extensive cast and production crew.
Closing credits are added at the end of a motion picture or television program. They usually appear as a list of names in small type. Where opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence. Such as the film title sequences for 'Bond, James'. A title sequence is the method where cinematic films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members or both. In movies and television, the title and opening credits may be proceeded by a
'cold open' or teaser (also known as a brief scene) that helps to set the stage for the episode or film.

Many major American motion pictures have changed away with opening credits, with many films, such as Van Helsing in 2004 and Batman begins in 2005, not even displaying the film title until the closing credits began.

Other films who followed the same idea:

The mummy returns 2001


Teacher's pet 2004


No country for old men 2007


The Dark Knight 2008

-Name of the studio
-Name of the production company
-Producers name and/or (director only) A film by (Directors name)
-Starring- the actors

Final title for our opening sequence
