Production logo's

 Last night I have come up with some ideas of what our logo can look like for our production company.  I thought because our group is called gas group we could use gas fire in our logo.

Locations

Here are a couple of images I got off of Google maps to show what the area is like around our filming location and also where it is going to bed held and set.

Here some street names so you know where it’s being filmed:

Here is a bird’s eye view of the field and there area around it:

This one is the walk way down to the field we are going to use:

Dexter remake

When it came to filming the Dexter remake us as a group found it harder than we all thought it would. If you watch the really Dexter sequence you notice that there are a lot of close ups in it, so when we filmed it we found it hard because we did not use a tri-pod. The shots that were close to the something flat were alright because we just placed the camera on it and filmed from there but higher close ups was harder. When coming to edit it I found it hard to cut out the background notices so when you listen to the sequence you can hear what people are saying and other noises around. We took it in turns to film parts because we all needed to get use to the camera. Some of the parts that were in the actually sequence we didn’t film because we were not available to get these objects so we either missed them out or improvised.

What I have learnt from filming this is that we need to get props ready before we start filming, we should use a tri-pod.

Things I need to learn are, how to editing the sound out of the sequence.

 

School trip to the BMI

We had the opportunity to go to the British Film Institute in London. We went there to meet guess speakers and watch opening sequences of different film. We got advice on what to do and what not to do when making our own thriller.
We got told to take this things in consideration when filming our openings:
- Genre
- Narrative
- Character
- Atmosphere
- Setting
A website we looked at was http://www.artofthetitle.com/. They title sequences we watched were: catch me if you can, Nepolian Dynamite, Dawn of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs the world. They each had interesting ways of presenting the titles.

One of our guess speakers was Dexter Fletcher, he talked about how to make a successful film because he had just finished directing his own film.

One of our other guess speakers told us that we shouldn’t use these things in our opening because they have been used before and get used regularly

- Saw: victim tied up
- Scream: hooded stalker follows victim
- Waking up: clean teeth, brushing your hair, leave house
- Se7en: killer stabs Polaroid pictures
- Lock Stock: gangsters play cards
- Flashback or flash-forwards
