New Ident!

After some feedback, I decided to change my logo to something more simplistic, as the focus group I showed it to, said it looked too much and not very professional.

Here is my new logo:

Filming Timetable

Here is my timetable for my Filming Day on the 8th of January. This timetable will help me to stick to a certain amount of time for each set of shots. It will also help me keep track of what shots I have done and not done.

Shot-list

Here is the Shot-list for how many takes I am approximately going to take for each shot and what is going to happen in each shot:

Final Storyboard

I redrafted my Storyboard in order to make the story-line of my Film Opening clearer to the audience and more interesting. I also, added a few shots to make my Film Opening the correct amount of time. Lastly, I included more types of shots in the Film Opening to gain a sense of location and what is going on throughout the Film Opening.

Here is my Final Storyboard:

StoryBoard for Film Opening

Here is the storyboard I created for my Film Opening. It shows every shot that I am hoping to accomplish and the voice overs and sounds I am going to add to each shot:

I made a storyboard to allow the process of filming to be easier and I will know where I want each shot to be and how it is going to be acted out by my actors. It also allows me to know the positioning of each character throughout the filming process.

Age Ratings and Characters for My Horror Film

I am thinking I am going to make my Horror Film a 12A as it contains moderate Violence but it is advised for younger viewers to watch with an adult as most scenes will contain scary scenes and other scenes which they may find upsetting to watch.

The Characters in my Film are:

A Mother, called Tessa, age 38. Portrayed by Margaret Carruthers, who is  also going to be the make-up artist for the characters, in my Horror Film Opening. 

Her son, called George, age 8. Portrayed by Daniel Carruthers 

A Ghost, called Ariel, age 25. Portrayed by Rebecca Clarke 

Three key rules definitions

Match-on-action: Match-on actions means editing techniques of films and videos where the editor will cut from one shot to a view which resembles the first shot's action.

Shot-reverse shot: This is a film technique where a character is portrayed looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.

180 degree rule: This is a cinematography guideline which states that two particular characters in a scene should maintain the same left/ right relationship with each other. Also, the camera should pass over an invisible axis which connects the two characters. This is called crossing the lines which makes the shot become a reverse angle.
