The process of looking for the right place to shoot was hard but it was all worth it as we found the right place. As it was a rainy day, the only thing I achieved was taking a couple pictures of the locati...

Due to the struggle of finding the right people to collaborate on my film opening, i have changed my idea slightly. I decided to just have the main character on my film opening instead of various characters, this is because I personally think its better to keep the audience interested in the main event, if i decide to have various characters i my film opening the audience could lose the focus on the main event and become distracted. I also decided to do this because by having only the main character in the film opening, it will make the context much more dramatic and the audience will not loose the focus.  I am going to keep my idea of the main character getting bullied, but instead of having to show the girl getting bullied at school, i am going to show the girl dead in the woods, i decided to do the because it will create suspense and it will be attention grabbing. 

The first and most significant prop of my film opening is the main characters Diary , here are all her secrets. This diary represents who she is , and when is taking away from her, it affects her in many ways.  Diaries have the connotation of a book in which one keeps daily record of events and experiences , it is to be kept a secret. This prop symbolizes very much to the film opening because it is one of the main reasons that causes conflict between the characters on the film opening. The phone symbolizes the bullying in my film opening so it is really important to show the impact that it creates on all of the characters to then be able  to convey the  main idea of what my interpretation  of what bullying is . The phone also represents   my  intended audience because, mobile phones are mainly used by teenagers that are constantly texting each other, and using their phones to do different things throughout ...

One of the first and important locations is a school , as the main character in my film is bullied I need to show where it starts and why. Most bullying situations occur firstly at a school so my idea was to have my first shot be at a school and then build into the climax to keep my intended audience interesting on what was happening. This is also a good way to show mise en scene and the impact of it.  This location was supposed to be for my other idea, of my media product. As my idea changed, I changed the location in order to be able to create another context for my media product.  This is the updated version of my new chosen location. I thought it would be better to change the location to a more urban setting, to highlight my context and the story line.  Changing the locations has been affected by the change of weather yet I have chosen carefully dates and times to be able to shoot my media product.

Animatic are animated storyboards. They are used for various purposes depending on the medium for which they are being produced. Animatics are used every day in the advertising industry to test commercials. They're used to preview scenes of live-action films before they are show. You'll also find animatics in the pre-production stages of animation and in the video game industry.  Once I tried to create my own Animatics, I had so much fun with working with different tools and just watching is as a real film opening. The music that I added to it, it the music that I will be using for my own film opening so I thought it would be good to just dd the music to make it seem more like the real thing. 

Once I looked at Production logos from other film companies, I began to work with after effects and photoshop to experiment the different features and explore the best options for my production logo. I wanted my production logo to be very simple but to also reflect my film genre through the use of after effects. Working with photoshop for the first time was very complicated, not knowing what tools to use and which ones are the best to be used was very challenging but once I became to watch tutorials on YouTube helping me how to use photoshop; was really helpful and it helped me improve my editing skills.  After effects is  much easier programme because there is many different tools, for example making the text move or making the back round itself move and creating illusion. After various attempts, I then decided to use after effects because the content of the programme was much easier to use and the end result was much more satisfying then when I used photoshop. Explori...

Before I even start my own personalised company logo for my film opening, I decided to do a little bit of research to understand more the use of a logo and what they resemble.  A Production logo is a logo used by movie studios and television production companies to brand what they produce, production logos are normally seen at the beginning of a theatrical movie.  Logos are either purely graphic or composed of the name of the organisation.  A logo is the visual identity of a company, so the design is a very important area. The design of a company logo, will represent the company as a whole, so the colours used, the font, the name has to be carefully chosen by the company funders to represent them. Colour is a also a key element in logo design and plays and important part role in brand differentiation, colours tend to have connotations and associations so when choosing the colour for the logo, it has to be very well evaluated to fit in with what they are trying to conv...

  Recce A Recce is a pre-filming or pre-photography visit to a location. The purpose of the visit is to decide upon the suitability of the location for shooting. You will need to comment upon the access to necessary facilities, assessment of potential lighting and or any potential issues with sound. You should devise and complete a table similar to the one shown, ensuring that you include appropriate detail. Potential Locations - Description Photograph Is it suitable – how? Why? (Access, Lighting, Sound ) Additional   Comments / Observations School - school corridors and school playground.   The school will be the perfect place to film because the natural lighting and the back sound of the kids, will allow me to add the realistic theme to my film opening.   Most of the scenes will be filmed at the school.  House - bedroom/toilet  The bedroom will be the place of closure, so ...

" Its a strange strange world, sometimes you think you are strong enough to go out there and face all the things that stop you from being happy but in reality.. you are not strong.  This past few months of my life caused me endless pain. " "Two teens walk down the stairs and see cici, they push her to the floor, step on her folders and laugh while they walk away.  Teen1 :- Next time you should watch where you're going.  Teen2:- She must be blind, HAHAHAHAHAHA Both:- Move away from us.  Cici picks her things up and cries while runs home." She enters the toilet and sits there crying silently.  Cici's sister:- Cici, are you in there?  Is everything ok? Cici:- ( crying ) I'm fine, just please leave me alone.  Cici's sister:- Cici... Dinner is in the table, I will be waiting for you.  Cici:- ok...  Cici enters her room, sits on her bed cleaning the tears on her face, she opens her school folders and she sees a how it's all broke...

IDEA UPDATE My idea is to deliver a message to my intended audience and make them think about what is happening, self reflection after watching a film is very important. Once you think about what is happening in the film, you start to enjoying  and  focusing more. My idea for the film opening, is to begin with a teenage girl that took a whole bottle of pills and committed suicide, then it will cut to black and the voice over will go back in time, where shots of what lead her to commit suicide begin to appear.  The main character, the girl that attempts to commit suicide will be me, and I will have another 3 characters that are the antagonists of the film opening. My film opening revolves mainly around bullying and how I see it, my interpretation is going to be seen in my Film opening. 

Institutional Research:   My chosen film was Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory , which was produced by Warner bros. Warner bros: is an American entertainment company owned by Time warner.  Other films they also took part in are; Suicide Squad, The Lego movie and Storks. Their audience is mainly young children, because most of their collaborations and made film are fantasy or adventure. It suits a young audience because the Warner Bros, know exactly what their audiences are looking for and what is going to capture their attention. The audience can vary in gender, it can be girls but mostly boys as the films made are adventure and boy fantasy. The Warner Bros is an independent company, their name originates from the four founding Warner brothers.  Warner's bros is a very independent company, which produces films and corporate with other companies to make their films successful. Warner bros has subsidiaries including turner entertainment.  In my opinion Warne...
