Our Font Type

These are the examples of our font type for our company name.

Ideas:
We have chosen both of these because we want the writing to look a little bit fancy so it does not look too plain and boring to look at. And we want to keep it with our theme of romance genre like the top one which has got a heart on letter "I" and the colour pink which means romantic and charming. 

Final:
We decided as a group that we would use the last one because its clearer and its more fancy writing because the other one is just basic and we don't really want it to look too romance.

Our Company Logo

This is the final image of our company logo.

We have chosen this because it's simple and it goes with the subject of our romance genre. We combined black and pink because they fit in together and it looks sophisticated. Pink signifies as romantic and charming. It didn't take us too long to make this logo because we just find a picture, took out some parts that we did not want on Photoshop then add our used the fonts that we wanted to use for our company name.

Ideas for our Company Logo

This is the sketches of the ideas for our company logo. 

We came up with these ideas because we want it to look simple and that would go with our theme of romance genre. We discussed in our group that we should combine the ring and the film reel for our final one then add each letters of our company name on each of the boxes and productions at the bottom on the side of the film reel.

Preliminary Task





We have to undertake a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with who he/she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. 

Evaluation

Write about the Preliminary task. What were asked to do? How did you find each stage of the process?
  • First I took a long shot of a person walking down the corridor. Then I used a close up shot to show the match on action rule and to see which hand he was using. When both of them were having a conversation, I used a shot reverse shot when the other person was sat in a chair opposite to the other person. By doing this, it should show the continuity task that we were asked to do. 
  • After filming it, I edited the short clips that I filmed and put it all together in a large video by using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. I make sure that the timing between a person walking down the corridor and opening the door should match. 
Things that I learnt during the preliminary task:
  • Is to make sure that the camera is steady and running smoothly while filming
  • I learned how to edit small clips and make it into a whole video
  • Is to check and make sure that the microphone is now seen on the video

Things that went well
  • I did not laugh while I was acting 
  • I did not get the microphone in the video
  • I did well while I was editing the clips

Improvements
I could improve my preliminary task by making sure that the camera is steady and running smoothly while panning in filming

Has the Preliminary task given you any ideas for your 2 minute film opening? If so, what is it?
Yes it would because I could use the editing software after filming and I could possibly use the shots and rules that I learnt during this task.

During the recording our narration


This is where we record our narration for our 2 minute film opening. Hayley's voice is the one that we are going to record as she is the main character. After she has finished recording, Rachael and I were listening to her voice to see if it's good quality or not.

Costumes & Props

Props






We would also be using scarf as we want to portray that she leaves something behind with him when she walks away.



 






We are going to use bottle of water because without it the main protagonists are unable to have the water fight.

 
 
 
 
 
Costumes





Scarlett's Costume:
Because she's dying her hair will be loose and down because the important thing is whether she will recover from illness or not. If we put her covered in make up and really nice clothes, the audience wouldn't be able to put any answers to any questions that may be uncovered in the first minute or so and we want the audience to think what is going to happen to her. She will be also wearing grey and white scarf and brown ankle boots. Grey signifies the lack of character and it emphasizes neutrality.



Scarlett will be wearing quite light and white clothing to show her purity and innocence, as she's dying because it's not her fault

Brown means to convey a feeling of warmth, honesty and wholesomeness.







Tom's Costume:
Tom will look like a normal everyday guy because they are just an everyday couple. To show that he is an everyday character he will be dressed in normal clothes for example jeans and a hoody with white trainers which will show through his characteristics to be pure and innocence like Scarlett. He will be wearing dark colour jumpers to show the dark side of him.

Script

Shooting Schedule

Storyboard


This is just the ideas that we might want in our film. 

This is our main ideas for our 2 minute film opening.

Extreme long shot/establishing shot – to introduce the characters, and to show who the main protagonists are going to be and also the location of where the film opening is going to be set

Shot reverse shot – to show the expressions on each of the protagonists faces when they are about to break the news to each other and it can see the reactions on each others faces after the other person has said something.

Extreme close up – of the hands separating before Hayley leaves the park, and this shows the intimacy between the main protagonists

Long shot – this is to show how lonely Tom is once Hayley has walked away and the audience are left thinking what is he going to do now?

We have chosen these shots because the close ups’ and extreme close up’s show the emotions on the faces of the characters, and can set the mood of the film and because it wouldn’t be appropriate if we used a long shot because you couldn't see the emotions properly.
