Test shooting blog

During the test shooting we had to try different camera shots type and angle to see if it would be appropriate to use them. Also, we had to see if the composition showed what we wanted the audience to see. The purpose of this was to eliminate any problem that we may face when doing the actual shooting. This would make us confident while shooting, without getting any stress. After looking at the test shots, we decided to change the shot which did not look good according the scene to make the opening sequence even better. For the test shot we used Evelina to see how the narrative of the story flows.

Evelina Week 12

Week 12

The test shoot was done over the Christmas holiday as the day that all the group members and actors were free the weather was not so good, as it was to dark or it was raining and we could not do test shoots or film clips for our film opening as the ramps were wet and the actor could of injured him self very badly.The wet weather and dark sky's at 12 noon reduced our time to get the filming and test shoot done, but we did use up our weekends to film everything to be on progress.  The test shoot was done at the same time as the filming of the shoot as the character were practicing and trying to get the thing we wanted right.

Week 11: Extra work and Poster Production Log By Henali

Week 11-Farzin

Week 11: Extra work and poster

Along with filming our opening sequence, we also did extra work in order to back up our work. For example, I started off my extra work with talking about our target audience and how different British cinema advertising companies advertise different movies; I also included different case studies and how much money the films ended up making after the distribution and advertisement. After that, I made a prezi about my role as a director and how famous directors such as Richard Curtis made it to where they are today; I also talked about my experience as a director in the group. Since, Evelina and I had visited the BFI store we had taken pictures of our trip there and what we had seen which had uploaded on the blog.

In order to find out how films are marketed, I did some research and ended up finding out how films not only become famous of the cast or budget but they also become famous through social networking sites. For example through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, an IMDB page etc. I ended up making a powtoon about this particular research. After finishing all this work, I started to edit all the vlogs which we had filmed during our production filming which showed our entire experience of filming our film opening sequence, it shows the struggles we faced, what we did and where we filmed each scene. We all know that films have posters, therefore we decided to make our own. Before this happened, we all decided to make our own drafts of how we might want the poster to look and brought the ideas together and decided on the final idea. After adding the sound, titles and transitions to our film opening sequence we decided to get some feedback from our target audience. Therefore, Evelina, Anbish and I interviewed a couple of people, showed them the sound cut and filmed their responses. Based on their responses we were able to tell what changes should be made to our film opening sequence before we upload our final cut therefore not only would we like it but so will our target audience.
