Company Logo Designs

Here are a few hand drawn logo designs that i have produced which i could use for our opening sequence.

Original Script before edit

This is the script we wrote before filming, it is the original one which we filmed from, however when it comes to editing our film some bits may have to be cut out as it may be too long. By using a lot of dialogue and content it gives us a bigger variety of choice of what bits we cut out if and when we need too.

Skylers monologue takes us most of the dialogue which we intend to use as a form of narration and have it playing the whole way through the other sections of acting.

Storyboard

Here is our original storyboard from our final idea, we have made it basic so that we will be able to add or change bits about it whilst filming when we will be able to see what would look the most effective.

Props

Props:

Car Used -> Audi A1 (MK13)

Point -> The reason as to why we decided to use this car is that it is a modern, easily distinguishable car and due to it being an Audi, it will appeal to most audiences today. By having a highly rated car included within our film sequence, it will draw more peoples attention to watching our piece and in result of this, the success of our project will be greater.

Other Props Used - > Watches

Point ->  The reason as to why we decided that our characters would all wear we chose to wear popular branded watches was again to do with the aesthetically pleasing factor of our piece. By wearing popular, high quality watches, it is again going to compliment the overall aesthetics and higher the calibre of the film sequence itself, again resulting in higher viewing demand.

WHERE DID THE INSPIRATION COME FROM ?

Below are some examples of high quality branding being used in big films...

Bad Boys 2 - Ferrari being used.

Above, some renowned actors wearing designer watches.

A shot taken from the film 'Takers', with the two high quality cars in the rear section of the shot and also the use of a super bike. 

How inspiration was took.. 

Inspiration was taken from examples such as the above, as the films that are usually successful in the media industry will consist of the highest quality props, in order that the audience recognise the film as a 'prestige' standard. This is the idea that us, as a group, was going for when deciding to include the Audi A1 and the use of a more presentable look with the suits and watches

Editing

Our Editing has hit a brick wall..

We are having trouble with our timings of the sound corresponding with the video its-self, Along the timeline it say +1 and -3 etc. on each clip.

We have had to speak a technician but our film can't progress until it has been fixed.

   

Planning Video

Video

Here is a video of my group discussing our ideas and coming up with ways we could put them together effectively prior to filming.

Analysis of Scenes

Shooting Schedule

I have scanned on our shooting schedule that we used when producing our film. We think that by having one it will make our process more effecient and give us a clear idea of what we should be doing at each timing so that we can get our film done as quickly as possible.

Shooting Script

What is the Shooting Script? 

The shooting script itself is a more elaborate and precise version of the screenplay. It isn't actually composed by the screenwriter, as common sense would predict. The shooting script is written by the Director, alongside his Cinematographer, whilst they discuss and plan their ideas for shots and desires for the movie.

KEY FACT - SCREENPLAY = SELLING, SHOOTING SCRIPT = PRODUCTION

The screenplay shouldn't consist of many directions, as it is an advertisement product.

However, the shooting script is more directional, as it is composed by the Director.

Components of a Shooting Script.

- Broken into Shots.

- Precise Terminology (Cinematography)

...e.g. (Close Up, Dolly-In) 

- Divided into Dates

Above is an example shooting script.

Another purpose of a Shooting Script is to benefit the whole crew and production teams organisation, giving them a precise idea of what is going to happen and when.

Logo

This is a logo in which we have designed for our production company, the letters DCL stand simply for our names Dom, Curtis & Lydia. We have chosen this  as our final logo as we felt that this design was the most professional idea, and would best suit its chosen purpose respectively. The clever overlap of the letters is a unique feature and will be easily recognisable for the audience. This logo could also be shown at the beginning of our film opening to aware the audience who the production company were that created the film, thus boosting its public awareness. If the film was successful then it would bring positive response upon the company and would increase its reputation.

Make up

For our opening sequence we intended on using make up for our characters to enhance their look for camera. Because none of us had much knowledge on how to effectively put make up on men, we started to plan what we would use by watching some videos on youtube of how other people had done it.
We found this video which we found very informative:




This helped us when coming to do make up for Skylers shots as it meant we could use lighting directly on him without the risk of shine from his face, however our one problem with our make up was that the actor playing 'Mr. Dwayne' was black, this made it hard for us when using make up. In professional works, research told us that some make up artists use make up on black people to lighten the skin for filming, however some use it to define facial features.

Title

Today we came up with the name for our opening sequence, We have chosen to name it 'behind time' because whenever the officers go to find skyler they are always too late and he gets away with the crime he commits. As the title is only two words it is short and memorable and we think it will work effectively would work effectively for when we pitch our film.
