Collage on different font types for title

Doc1 by Anonymous UV8gffM75n on Scribd

This is a collage on all the different types of fonts and effects on the word "Run" which is the title of my film. 

I will refer back to this collage when being nearly complete on my editing of the film opening sequence which will help me chose which one suits best at the end. 

Filming in the house

When filming in the house we had already taken some shots in the draft which were successful to use in the main production so we was well prepared to carry on from where we started. We was able to look back on the draft and pick out shots which need to be re looked at, however our main problem was the darkness outside as we needed it to be a dark scene, but visible for the viewers to see the killer outside through the glass. All equipment was ready and set up the only problem was the tv turning static but we was successful in the end. 

Stage one 

setting up- 

Mise-en-scene for the serial killers outfit ready; mask, trench coat, black trouser, knife

mother driving away 

Tv remote 

key for back door 

all lights on 

Stage two 

filming- 

making sure the shots are accurate as possible from where draft ended 

start filming from her opening the backdoor running to her mother - story board

All lights switch off at the same time 

serial killer enters from backdoor ; audience need to be able to see this 

Filming in the forest

When filming in the forest we found many advantages but also some disadvantages. When filming the draft the main struggle was getting the weather to be how we wanted it to be so foggy but mid day. This was however successful in the main production. When putting up the signs and tape it was windy so there was a panic as many of the signs fell down how stapling them to the trees was identified. 

Stage one 

Setting up - 

signs up and police tape  

Identifying from the storyboard when the first shot will be taken 

warning signs on the floor and in the trees 

Stage 2 

Filming in the forest 

analyse from the story board what shots are taken from where and how 

make sure they are taken 3 times 

Stage 3 

Look at the shots taken so far and identify if any need to be re looked at and taken differently or again 

update on filming day 2

So I completed the last day of filming today so the extra day is not needed that i know of it i am going to go through the different shots to make sure everything is correct and if anything occurs i will update. Everything went extremely well in the house and i was able to finish at the correct time as the filming flowed smoothly.  

Update on filming day 1

Hi just to give a quick update I have started filming and we have just completed day one, so far it has gone successfully, however we had one problem with the location as we had to wait half an hour until the forest area we was filming in was clear, so this did set us back a bit but in the end we finished the first day efficiently. Furthermore the next part being filmed will be in the house that will occur on the second day of filming hopefully the weather is appropriate as it needs to be dark, however the filming schedule shows that we will be filming in the evening and the weather forecast is how we want it to be. 

Textual analysis 4

What could go wrong

I have made a table which identifies the key things that could go wrong on the day and how to prevent them but I have also uploaded a picture of the whiteboard where I have written down a variety of different things that could go wrong.

Things to take on set

Equipment :

Camera:

Tripod 

light 

Props:

Mask

warning signs 

police tape 

stapler 

knife 

Essentials:

script - to have an exact idea on how shots are taken

storyboard - have a image of the shots and what angles to take them at, also setting 

camera charger-just in case camera dies as experienced in the draft version of filming 

These lists will create a more smooth approach when filming on the day so decreases the amount of errors that may occur 

Storyboard

I created a story board before carrying out my main production as it helps create a more efficient successful filming day. This is because it allows me to know exactly what angle and where to take the shot so i don't miss anything out. When I storyboard this production i am effectively setting up a plan for production, including all the shots I'll need, the order that they’ll be laid out, and how the visuals will interact with the script. The storyboard is a starting point or suggested thorough line around which I can plan my coverage (all the angles I will shoot of a scene). This really comes in handy when I am making my opening of the film,  as it ensures I won’t forget any scenes and helps me  piece together the clips according to my vision. 

  

Section B - Film industries

In class we are now on section B as we completed section A so now we analyse different audiences and institutions.

In order to produce a successful film the company must market their film in different ways using media convergence. To create a global buzz the film must be advertised effectively, and t modern society films can be advertised in different ways; youtube, social media, etc.

The studio will have to think of unique ideas to promote their film and effectively engage the audience. Also the target audience must be shown when advertising this also helped me when picking out my exact target audience as i looked at many other horror films and they all had the same target audience and also similar age boundaries.

The studio will need to think of a USP and new marketing tools to promote their film as successful as possible. 

Props and costumes

For my production i will have a variety of different props and costumes to make the opening realistic and effective.

There will be either one of these masks, however when filming the draft i was able to identify that the first one seemingly looked more horror looking however the other one is a back up just incase.

The serial killer will be wearing a black trench coat, black trousers and black boots. This reoccurring theme of black also represents the darkness of this man. He will obviously also have the mask covering his face.

There will also be a knife that the serial killer will be holding which will be seen in the shot where he is entering from the back glass door but also what he uses when he attacks her.

The headphones will have a huge significance in the opening especially in the first minute as Amy does not realise whats ahead of her and cannot hear the surroundings as she's playing music.

Amy will also be carrying here phone which her music will be playing from in the forest which blocks her from hearing the sirens but also she asks for help in a close up shot in the house.
