final cut

This is the video that we had played around with in our lesson today. we had done this because we are going to create a film title sequence so it will be good for us to practise and get used to the software.

Props

We want to make the character look as if he is burnt, so we will have to buy some products. We will have to use, girls make up and some glue. We have been watching some videos on youtube to find out how the burns can look like. Mrs Moore had told us told us what we would need to create this effect. We will have a bonfire because our film is mainly based around fire. So we had to get permission from Aaron's parents to be able to do that in his garden. We have been granted permission to start a bonfire in Aaron's garden. We will have to follow some rules to make sure that nothing else happens.
These are some rules for a bonfire

Bonfire safety tips

Once the bonfire is lit, make sure you:

• keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby - in case of emergencies
• don’t leave the bonfire unattended
• keep children and pets away from the bonfire
• don’t throw any fireworks into the fire
• don't burn aerosols, tyres, canisters or anything containing foam or paint - many produce toxic fumes and some containers may explode, causing injury

Once the bonfire has died down, spray the embers with water to stop it reigniting.

Change of filming date

We had to change the day of when we was going to film our title sequence, because had come up. We have re scheduled to film our title sequence and that day would be a Friday, 20th, January, 2012. We will have to change our date on the film on the calendar that we have created because we are not doing it on the date that we have selected.

My production plan

I have added my calendar that my group have created onto my blog because it will keep use organised not olny that the teachers will be able to know what we will be doing on what day. This will not just guide me but it will also guide our group as well. The Google calendar is a good thing because we will know what type of things we have to do per week. We have to hand in our film by the 10th of, so we have added something to do per week in our calendar. Each week we will focus on certain things to do with our title sequence. We cant rush this otherwise we will make mistakes.

titles

Above is the titles that we are going to use in our title sequence. This typeography is good because our main theme in the film is set to be on fire and the writing of the typeography looks like fire. We have not changed the colour of the text because it will look good coming out of the fire in this colour. The titles will be show in chronilogical order in the actual film sequence but they are not in order right now.

poster

This is the poster that we have created. It will be a great way to promote our title sequence. The reason for this is because we have got some themes of the film with fire, and the child killer, also the child is mysterious as you do not actually see his face, only his shadow. The fire can create atmosphere and set the type of genre because of the colour and how horific it looks.

Hammer Film Productions

This is a company that I reckon will do a good job for us, so I would like them to create our film. This film company is British and the company’s speciality is in horror.  We want our film to be a British type theme and it is also horror, so I think that this matches what this film production that we have found. This is a good idea because bigger companies will not want to take our film on because they might think that they won’t get a good amount of money in return.  This is a good company to take on board because it is British, whereas most of the big companies are American, when American people try to create a British type film it becomes beyond the topic but it also can be comical. Our film is totally different to this it is not a comedy it is a horror based genre and we would like people to take it serious.
