Feedback

This is one of many feedback sheets that individuals filled out; this is related to our title sequence that my group and I produced. We presented the title sequence to the class and they had to fill out the sheets based on their perception. On the sheet they were able to rate it from 1 star to 3 stars, what they thought was good, things that need developing and finally things they believe that don’t work.  Most of the feedback that we were given was positive, but we ahd a few things that we had to work on. So taking this into account it means that we now have to improve these things to make the title sequence better overall.

Ronald: Grade 'A' Killer Poster






























This is our final poster for our film; we had edited the mock up poster which we originally created. The mock up poster was a stand in for this poster; we had now inserted the picture of the main character which will be Ronald. We have kept the other elements of the mock up poster the same including name of the film, information about it and production company.  To produce this poster we took a photo of the main character behind a green screen, by doing this it then will allow us to cut the green background from bend the photo.  Once we took the photo we then uploaded it to photo shop, we uploaded to the previous poster that we made. We deleted the current picture that was on the poster and cropped it down to size. Once we done this we positioned it to the correct place.

Location Shots

This is Luke's Bathroom

 

 

This is Luke's Kitchen 

This is My Kitchen



This My Bathroom

These are location shots for our title sequence that we possible could use. These are photos from Luke and my house, the reason that we decided to choose these locations is mainly because we believed that these would fit the locations that the film is set a house. The location that we need to use has to be a typical house this meant that we could use anyone’s house. The fact that we needed to do a bathroom scene which will feature water on the floor we decided that the best location to use would be Luke's bathroom mainly due to the fact that his bathroom floor is black. By having a black bathroom floor it will make it easier for the audience and viewers too see that there is water on the floor, which will feature in out tile sequence. In addition we also decided to uses this specific bathroom mainly because the colour theme is black and white. These colours show the good and bad contrast, it shows the characters change due to the fact he is portrayed as good and then bad. We decided to use Luke's kitchen, this is because we believed that it fit the setting that the group had in mind. This is because the colour scheme of the kitchen fits well with the narrative, this is due to the fact the colour scheme is red, which connotes danger or blood spilt, leading to the death of the teacher. Finally we decided to choose Luke bedroom, this is because it looks like a typical teenagers bedroom so this will fit in with our storyline. From the blue walls it can be obviously stated that it’s a boy bedroom.

https://audionetwork.lgfl.org.uk/show-production-results.aspx?stype=4&keywords=Maybe+Not+Now#


These are links to our music in which we have decided to choose. We looked on a websites which contained copy right free music. The reason for this is because we had to follow the criteria which was use either copy right free music or create your own.  As a group we all sat around one computer and went through a variety of different music, we choose the four tracks above and from them we had to choose one. The reason in which we chose these particular music tracks is because we believed that it fitted our genre and successfully portrays it. As a group we narrowed it down to the song in which we will use for our title sequence the song that we chose was Maybe Not Now. The reason why we used this particular song is because it was the one that fitted our title sequence best and also because it had lyrics. We believe because our title sequence doesn't have much dialogue if we didn't have a song with lyrics it wouldn't be as entertaining.

Title Sequence Calendar

This is a screen shot of my Google calendar, in which I have created. This is a shared calendar in which each member of the group posted what we done on a particular day. To be able to create a Google calendar we first had to make a Google mail account. We each assigned each other with a colour and this meant that each of use was in charge of that day. The screen shot above is one of many, by having a calendar it will keep the group organised as then we know what we have to do on each day we have media. We linked one calendar to all of our groups to do this we had to send request to each member of our group we done this by sending it via our email to there’s. Once we had completed this it meant that each member could add an event, which means that it then will be added to everyone else's calendar. By putting events in it will inform the rest of the group the days that we will be Planning, Filming and Editing.

Title Sequence Titles

These are the titles in which as a group we will insert them into out title sequence that we have produced. To create these titles we used a combination of both Photoshop and Dafont which is a font website. Before we produced them n the computer we got a piece of paper and took note of the order in which they tend to appear on existing title sequence.  Once we had agreed when each title should appear we then had to come up with names to use for each job title, this was the easy part as we made the names we was going to use up. Once we completed coming up the names we went onto Dafont website (http://www.dafont.com/) we looked through the different fonts in which we could possible use. The final fonts in which we used were

VTKS Contact and Chalkdust. The reason in which we decided to use these are because as a group we believed they present the genre of our film. The colours in which we used were Red and Black, we used red as this could connote blood or danger and the black can symbolise the darkness in Ronald.



Title Sequence Storyboard

This is our groups storyboard in which we produced, to get it onto the computer we scanned each side of the storyboard that we created. Each member of the group Billy, Luke and I drew a side of the storyboard each. The reason we done this is so that each member of the group was able to show there artistic skills. The first thing that we done was to think of each scene that would occur in the title sequence. once this was done we dre every scene and once finished we coloured them in.

Film Mock Up Poster

This potentially is a poster in which we will use to promote our film to our target audience, we looked at marketing techniques that are regularly used these include billing block, USP's (Director) bold images and also the title. These are all important as this is what sells the audience the film. Through out the poster we have kept a strict colour scheme these colours include red, black and white. The red in the poster can symbolise blood, death and danger all in which occur in the film. The black can symbolise the darkness of Ronald and the bad happenings that occur. Finally the white can signify his normality before he killed someone.  We have added a picture of a individual if we use this we will exchange this with the character in which will star in the film, this will inform people of the main character. The character is the main attention of the poster this is so the audiences acknowledge him. 

Title Sequence Typography

This is our group’s final typography that we had chosen to use in our title sequence. From seven names that we come up with our questionnaire showed us that this was the most popular name. As a group we discussed whether or not we should use this particular typography or to create a new one. In the end we thought this typo of typography would be idle, as it would provide the audience with a possible genre. To produce the typography we combined the use of Photoshop and Da font. We decided to use this name as it sells the film, the name informs the audience about the film storyline. Ronald is the name of the main character we decided on this name as it contradicts his personality. Ronald is a name that is old and is hardly used in today society so this provides a false image to the audience. Grade 'A' Killer provides the audience with information that the film will consist of a murderer this is correct, as Ronald is the school murderer. We decided to use this particular typography, as it can be associated with horror and mystery. The Name Ronald is in black and blurred out, this be used to provide mystery as the audience wonder why this character is so important. In addition we used red for Grade 'A' Killer this can tie in with red for danger / death and connote that this is a regular occurrence in the film. 

Title Sequence Design Company Logo

This is our logo for our title sequence designer, this possibly could be included in our title sequence. As a group we decided to make this so that consumers would know who created the title sequence. To produce this we used a combination of photoshop and Da font. Da font is a website which provides its users with a variety of fonts, this allows the users to download them to the computer.  First thing that we done was we had to come up with a name , the name that we decided on was LUBILU which was the first two letters of each of our names Luke , Billy and Luke. We copied the name from Da font into photoshop and from there we ended up with a film logo as above.

Animatic

This is our group’s animatic, each member took pictures of each scene from our storyboard. We took the photos using an iPhone 4; the reason in which we used this to take photos is because we believed that it took good quality photos. Once we took the phone we then uploaded them to a Mac and instead them into iMovie. Once we uploaded theta iMovie we then found music that we were going to use and also the voiceover.

Production Company Logo

This is our logo in which we have created for our production company this was a time consuming process. This process want difficult but we spend the most trying to come up with a name, this is because as a group we couldn't come up with a name that was entirely suitable and something that we could all agree on. We finally came up with the name obscurity , this is because we wanted to come up  with something different and unique. We came up with the name as obscurity means unknown, we thought that using this will indicate the unknown of the types of films in which we will produce. In addition we will be a new company so m=not many people will know us so this can also link into it. We have used an ink blot this again links to our name, the ink blot ind addition also links to unknown.

Film Title Questionnaire

Questionnaire

Above is a questionnaire in which our group produced using Microsoft Word. The reason in which we produced this is to decide a name for our film. the group was in decisive on a name for the film so we believe that producing a questionnaire was a easy and quick way to choose. We came up with several possible names ranging from Books, Babes & Brutal Murders, Bod to Ronald the Grade A Killer. We had many ideas but could decide which would be more suitable for our film. So to decide we provided the questionnaire to our target audience to see which name were given the better response.

We had given our questionnaire to 15 people that are in our target audience the results were as followed.

Ronald: Grade A Killer - 6

Books, Babes & Brutal murders - 4

Student Body- 2

Big Mistake - 2 

Books, babes and brutal Deaths - 1

Detention - 0

Late Slip - 0

Secondary Psycho - 0

Bods, babes & Brutal Murders - 0

Secondary Scoundrel - 0

Typography Ideas

These are possible film names ideas that our group has come up with. We all sat around a table and wrote down notes to try to come up with a name.  Each member of the group came up with a few ideas and we chose a handful that we believed will work best. Once we believed that we had a sufficient amount of names we then produced these that are above on the Mac's. We used a variety of different fonts and lay outs. We used different fonts and lay out so that they don't all look the same. 

Title Sequence Storyline

New Plot/Narrative

The film takes place in a ordinary british comprehensive school, where we see ordinary outcast Ronald Bateman attempting to survive his social class. This was about to change as his is turn inside-out as he accidentally killing both fellow student and teacher. This creates a massive dilemma which then sparks a accidental killing spree which is provoked by revenge, innocence and girls. He has more problems than he needed which means that exams are not the only thing to worry about this year. With a mixture of dark humor and brutal deaths, this will surely be a film that should not be missed.

Film Pitch

This is our groups PowerPoint presentation that we constructed together. It is our pitch presentation which informs people about what our film idea is and things that are important and need to be known. The film pitch consists of film synopsis, the genre, similar films, target audience, release date and film budget and profit. This is useful information, this is because if we were going to sell the film to different film studios. This information is vital as it can help them deiced if the film I worth buying. The film synopsis will inform the film company about the outline of the film, this is important as this can determine whether or not the company will buy it.  The genre of the film is major as certain film companies only produce certain genres. When choosing the film company to pitch to we have do decide the correct company. By informing the company of the genre it then creates understanding that the film is aimed at them. By having similar film it shows the films our film follow is or have relation to. The target audience slide informs the film company the sort of advertising techniques and the time they need to advertise the film. Release date also can help film companies find the correct techniques to advertise as if you are going to advertise at Halloween you would advertise it different from Christmas. The profit shows how much the film company can get from the film an also the amount of money spend on it.
