Location

We decidecd to choose to shot our film in a family house, on a house estate. We decided to do this to add more element of suprise to our movie because you wouldnt except it to me stalkered. If we had choosen a empty haunted mantion it would be expect. We thought this would make our film more realistic.

shotlist

This is a list of shots we should included in our movie the tickets are the times we included them.

scripting for movie 'the creep'

We formed a script for our movie so our selected actors knew what they had to say and do.

booking sheet for equipment

We had to book the camara and tripod and imac computers, we signed a sheet to make sure we could use them. This is a example of one of the camara and tripod sheets and the white sheet is the computer.

My booking is coloured in brown.

preliminary task and 180 degree rule

For our preliminary task we had to include some major points that we would put in our film opening- close-up, 180 degree rule, dialoge and zoom. This will help us to when we go to film our 2min opening due to knowing the techniques and filming.

Heres the 180 degree rule we used in our preliminary task, we made sure we would use continuty editing with lauren coming throught the door to sit down and make sure it fits in with enviroment and camra view.

logo

We designed the production company logo. We decided to come up with the name 'black pictures' we did this because it related to our genre and made it feel kinda creepy.

When putting this at the beggining of our movie we added a square effect to it to make it more intresting.

Layout:The basic layout of our logo is quite plain as we didn't want it to be too complex as you wouldn't be able to define the name if it was too busy, as we thought the name was the most important part.Colours:We chose black and white as it fits in well with our genre and isn't too bright/busy which would confuse the viewer on what they are watching. Also the basic colour scheme makes the image and the text stand out as they are very bold and situated in the centre.Text:The text we used was of a copyright free website, it is quite a basic font but still has some characterism to it, i edited the initial colours as originaly it just had a black outline but we decided that making it all black would influence the genre.
Images: I merged two images together for our logo image, a film real and a bird, i took the top part of the bird and the bottom part of the film real and merged them into one image. This works well in my opinion as the bird shows a scary feel and the film real shows that it is a film company and compliments the logo.

target audience decision

we decided to go to our target audience and find out which opening they prefered and thought was a more appealing opening. We got a punch of 16+ students to watch our two videos and comment on which one they thought was best. We then asked them to fill out a questionnaire we formed to tell us there feelings and why they prefer each movie. We also asked them if they felt the opening worked and attracted them in.

The results from our questionnaire:
Question 1)
'The Dolls Revenge' -3
'The Creep' -17
Question 2)
'The Dolls Revenge' -0
'The Creep' -20
Question 3)
'The Dolls Revenge' -6
'The Creep' -14
Question 4)
'The Dolls Revenge' -3
'The Creep' -17
Question 5)
'The Dolls Revenge'-2
'The Creep'-1
'I liked both of them'-17
From these results we have found out that 'The Creep', is the most popular film we have made and therefore is the one we are going to use as our final film.
