production company

we are thinking of using columbia as our film production company. Researching into horror films i (shellie) found out that they contribute quite a few and would link with the horror genre on ours.

Next try

Well its just been half term, me and jordan planned to film over half term. all sorted all planned and once again we get let down. :( we are done for. we are going to try an import the draft back on the macs and edit that. do what we can. Really set us back and upset us both. hopefully things will pick up.
STILL NO IDEA FOR FILM NAME HELP!

What is the difference between a film trailer and a film opening?

We had a class discusion about the differences between film openings and trailers and these are the differneces we found;

Opening
• Enigma codes.
• Establishing shot for the settings.
• Action shot – character in role doing things.
• Variety of shots.
• Titles- imaginative and creative.
• Music- does it fit its genre
• Music- does it fit the mood.

Trailer
• Provides a summary of plot – plot outline.
• Character roles.
• Short, varied clips- from the entire film.
• Clear idea of equilibrium/disequilibrium/new equilibrium.
• Music sells the film- Gives excitement.

Prelim 1

This is the prelim we worked on using photoshop, we did do a contents page but we had technical problems so only the front cover saved.

Filming

Me and jordan have decided we are planning to refilm on the 19th of feb as our first lot of just seemed to go wrong. we also lost half of it as we imported it into the macs. :( We feel to edit it would be a waste of time insted we have desided to replan and make our shot list more creative.

because of our horror genre we feel we need to have abstract camera angles and be more creative.

ALSO STILL NEED A FILM NAME HELP!!!
we are going to make sure that we have our production company, institution, and music is all planned and ready so we can do solid editing when we get back from half term.

Our production company logo thingy

Me and Shellie have decided to call our production company 'Shellbear' because it is a cross between Shellie's first name and my last name :)


This is our logo...

Well...

We filmed over the weekend and it went so wrong, so we're gonna have to film it ALL OVER AGAIN.....



BAD TIMES.

Storyboard

The first shot is a black screen, the sound over the top are siren noises froma crime scene. To end this shot there is one flash of white light to then move on to the next shot. The second shot, is a shot of a house in the middle of nowhere- slowly zooming in. This is an establishing shot to show where the scene is set. The sounds over the top of this shot are birds. When the camera zooms in and the hosue fills the whole shot, it quickly flicks to the next shot.


This shot is a close up of a T.V screen changing channel- through music channels, camera slowly zooms out. A title will fade in and out over this shot saying 'earlier that night'. The sounds over this shot is dialogue by the two main characters. A long shot of two girls sitting on a sofa in a living room having a conversation. camera slowly zooms in- phone rings- next shot.


The two girls walk towards the phone scared- as the camera pans round following them out the room, there is a figure outside the window. Camera faces the back of girls and they walk away from the camera. Close up of the phone ringing, girls hand picks it up- camera then follows the hand to the face. Girl speaks.


Girl answers phone and lights suddenly go off. Lights flicker back on- girls speak.


Lights turn off. Lights turn back on, there is as figure in the background.


Lights turn off. Lights turn on, figure is closer.


Lights turn off. Lights turn on, figure is closer.


Lights turn off. Lights turn on, figure is grabbing on of the girls.


Lights turn off. Lights turn back on, one girl is missing- girl screams. (title comes up)

Lights flash back on and one girl is missing, the title of the film then flashes up for the end of the opening.
