Dureshewar Mauwoz Evaluation part 2

Addition to question 6... another problem from technology is uploading things and it doesn't happen when you want it to. This is a great example, I tried uploading these two video before and it didn't let me and now i have uploaded these videos, they are not together on one post which is another problem. Also on YouTube it wouldn't let me upload the whole evaluation together so that is why there are two different videos for this.

MAKING OUR OWN MUSIC!

We were working on the music today and we couldn't find the perfect type that would fit in with the running scene when Scarlet is running for her life when she has a feeling something is behind her. Sarah was thinking of having some scary but tensed music and I couldn't find anything that had all that. So i decided to make my own music on Garage Band and Mahida liked. However, Sarah thought we were missing the foot steps of Scarlet when she's running.

If Sarah has time, she will try and record the sound of her foot steps and then we might use it in the sequence.

What to do tomorrow?

For tomorrow, I have decided to complete the production logo and not do the final title because Becky knows how to do that and I don't want to create more work. When I am finished with the logo design I will start constructing the music as it is the next BIG thing. the voiceover is done, we just need to construct it all together and we will be done by the end of this week!!!!

Designing the LOGO!

I designed the logo for the production, we thought that it will look good if we have a logo. Also as seen in real films there are logos for each production company. We couldn't just get an image from GOOGLE of a red telephone box for the logo, we decided to design one ourselves.

On Apple there are no paint applications so I used iweb to make the design of the telephone boxes and it came out really well. The only problem I had was that the lines had to be really accurate and i didn't manage to finish it in time but all i need to do is add colour to the logo.

coming up with the name for the production

We realised that we would need a production team which would be used in our film. We had to think of a name of a production company that we could use. A production by...

we spent about 20 minutes coming up with the name which indicated Britishness as our opening sequence is to a low budget British film. Everyone kept on thinking about red telephone box because this created the typical British atmosphere and also red telephone boxes are extremely British.

Then I thought of the name...Redox and everyone agreed to it as it went well with our film theme which is mysterious thriller and it involves blood that is RED.

So now it's called A Redox Production, this will be used at the start of the opening sequence.

Exam poster

Exam is targeted at teenagers and young adults, you can see that from the poster because the characters look young and 22-28 years old. The way the characters are dressed reflects the audiences who might watch the film. The characters are dressed sophisticated which also indicates the exam conditions and quiet atmosphere. The close-up of the tied hands struggling hand with the blood on the shirt illustrates that the film is a thriller. The close-up of the 8 different characters faces which show mystery indicates that the film is mysterious and anything can happen.

British Film Institute

British Film Institute (BFI) was established by Royal Charter to create the world of films, BFI has many organisations such as, the BFI Southbank and the IMAX theatre. The British Film Institution was founded in 1933, and it promotes education about film, television and the moving image generally. The BFI distributes cultural cinema to other venues, each year they distribute over 800 venues all across the UK.  Also the BFI runs the annual London Film Festival which gains a lot of publicity and a large number of audiences participate in this.
Today the BFI is currently managed on a day-to-day basis by its director, Amanda Nevill. The current chair is Greg Dyke, who took the office on the 1st March 2008. The chair of the board is appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport who receives recommendations from the UK Film Council. Other board members are co-opted by existing board members when required. These appointments are subject to ratification by the UK Film Council. The BFI operates with three sources of income. The largest is public money allocated through the UK Film Council from the funds given to it by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

About the use of blood

Looking at the final outcome of the sequence and the pics Becky has taken, i am so pleased with the make-up i did on Sarah. Some of cuts looked really real. I am also pleased with the overall look of the scene and how the make- up had a great impact on the situation.

Day 3: filming (LAST DAY)

Today was our last day of filming and we were very pleased with this. There was positive and negative points for today:
Negative- were that due to the rain on Wednesday, it was extremely muddy this made it hard for us to record in certain places. For point of view running scene it was hard for Sarah and Mahida to run in the mud. For that particular scene it took us approx. 20-30 mins.
There were many positive points for today- even with finding the perfect location that wasn't muddy,we finished our recording on time.
Particularly for me, i was extremely excited for the death scene. So that i can apply make-up on Sarah (the blood and everything)

where to put the blood?

 I took these pics so I can work out where to put blood on Scarlet but I've realized that in this pic her head is tilted too much. So I have decided to change some things but this is the basic outline of the position. And also I wasn't sure that if is looked effective if Scarlet's eyes were opened.

For this pic, I changed my mind about Scarlet opening her eyes but I'm still not sure because if SOMETHING has killed her terrifically and her eyes are opened it conotates that she died a horrific death. I think she should have a scar on her left hand side on top of the eye brow, a bruise on the right hand side on the head. Her left ear ripped along the side, her right side of the lip thorn and the blood dripping on the side of her head and creating a puddle of blood on the floor. Also Scarlet is not wearing any pendant because I was thinking she could have nail marks on the front of her neck.  

I wasn't thinking of this position is particular but this is just the basic outline of how she might be, with one shoe on and the other beside her. However, I do know the positions may change on the day but not massively.

PROBLEMS WITH MAKING BLOOD!

I am having problems with making the blood which will be used on Scarlet (Sarah). I have tried using different types of ingredients to make the perfect solution but I'm still making difficulties with removing it afterwards. I don't want to create the solution, use it on Sarah and after the recording is over, realize that I can't remove it.


I will need to use another ingredient to make it PERFECT!

FILM- DAY 2

The second day of filming also went well but there were some things to consider about before starting to record. Such as, the angles we're going to use changed because of the lighting, we couldn't use the shot we planned because the lighting would create problems. Also there was a car in the way that we needed to consider because the car wasn't part of the scene and the road was near and cars kept passing by which also created a problem due to the sound effects in the background.

However, overall we worked out our angles and the positioning of the camera and everything that we planned to record was done. Now we have completed half of our film sequence which is a huge satisfaction, we have also planned what we will be doing for the next recording day.

The pictures taken by Becky for the backstage shows how much time we spent thinking about our angles and the positioning of everything. The pictures also show how much fun we had doing the recording.

P.S. this time do not forget GLOVES... it's cold there!

Day 1- filming

Today it was our first day of filming, everything went better than we expected. However,we did experience some difficulties such as, doing a perfect tracking shot, a high angle shot and a pan. We also took extra pics, pics 5-13 are all of the location so that we remember where we stopped recording. We took extra shots just in case we experience more difficulties when recording. We did shots that's were not on the storyboard because we thought they worked well and we also know that we might have more shots from different angles in the future. Can't wait for next recording day, have good plans...

P.S. Remember to wear a coat, gloves and appropriate shoes.

My Roles

During the filming of the opening sequence my job is that I’m a stage- hand, I help the character get ready for each shot, I in charge of setting the whole location in front of the camera. I will help change scenes quickly as possible so that we save time.

For the overall process my jobs are that I am the head blogger but everyone has blogged as well, I help instruct everyone so they know what to blog about and when so that we cover everything. I am the planner; I have planned the clothing for the character, the make-up, where the blood will be.  I am also the stagehand; I have created the plans for when we are recording so we use our time appropriately.
