Weather Forecast

We're planning to film between the 30th December 2013 and 6th December 2014.
Looking at a 10 day forecast for the days we're planning to film on so that the weather is how we would prefer it to be.

Because we have quite a lot going on in our sequence with different characters and props we wanted the weather to be calm so that nothing distracted from our actors.
Because our main actor is walking for the huge majority of our filming, we wanted to make sure that there was no risks that could put her in danger. For exampled if it had been snowing there could be ice on the ground, which could cause a risk for when our actor is walking up stairs in a pair of heels.

Also because we are using the most used public transport in London, we wanted to make sure the weather is clear so there is no huge prediction on the day for wether the trains will be running or not.

Foley Sound

Foley is sound that has been added to a piece of film in post production. It is very popular with films, because it makes a film clear and professional. We want to add Foley in our opening sequence, rather than having excess sound which is not wanted, during dialogue. The most common sounds heard are peoples voices from afar, or gusts of wind. We want to test out some sounds, so that when we come to adding our audio, during post production, we don't waste any time figuring out how to create the sounds.

An outline of the plot

A mystery thriller, about a black mail. The victim is the business man, and a mother who is weak who is a victim as well, and the antagonist, opposite, is the 'Red Caller' a woman in red black mailing the victims. The sim card is the most important prop as well as the telephone box phone, because it is causing the mystery. We are going to set our thriller in London, because it relates to our target audience, because London is were that age group of young adults work etc. The Pleasantville effect will be added, to make the 'Red Caller' the main focus and importance of the opening. At the begging her victims will be seen, by audience.

Animatic

This is our Animatic it is photos from the story board Sophie has made, with a soundtrack and effects added. Which I have made using garage band, final cut pro and after effects. I have added the titles we will use as well, testing out 3D text, and positioning texts so we will know where we will place them on the real cut.

I have firstly used the pleasantville effect, and then turned all the clips black and white changing the contrast and brightness to suit. I have then used the script and timeline Sophie Gordon made, to change the duration of each individual clip to suit. Then I changed transitions, and added the titles, and then Foley and sound track.




I have learnt some important points whilst making this Animatic. I should pay attention to spelling and placement of the titles. On one occasion I have missed out a letter, because I only checked it once. I should have checked it at least three times, and got at least one other person to watch it. Some titles are not placed on a contrasting background so are hard to see, so for our final cut we must pay close attention to the placement of the titles.

Test Shots/Casting/Auditions

This video is auditions for some of the actors we might be using when making our opening sequence.
I edited this video in a app called Splice.

Production Company Logo - Final

We have both decided to use the Production Logo 1, The light bulb.



I think this is a simple but creative logo. The audio fits with the video, making it rememberable for the light bulb noise.
