Journal - 5th January 2011

In todays lesson we signed into the new Apple Macs in the suite. We then signed into blogger to find out what there is left for us to complete before our deadline. I then made a schedule for my group to keep too and we are planning to keep to our set schedule and start taking our surveillance camera images for the inspectors book.

Typography FINAL Idea

This is our final idea for typography. We have chose this because as "he" has a scrapbook of cut out pictures of a girl we thought this would be appropriate as the letters look like they have been cut out.

PLANNING - Production Brief

• Production Brief: To create the titles and opening of a new fiction film
• Project name: Seized
• Length: 90 secs - 2 mins
• Deadline: Friday 11th February
• Group Members and there rolls: Emily - Actor, editor. Daisy - Director, editor. Sophie - Camera woman, breathing sounds, editor. Sarah - Camera woman, editor.
• Brief overview of content: Mum and Daughter live alone as Dad left when Daughter was born. Mum finds a new boyfriend who is a police detective, however he is not getting any recognition at work. Because of this he decided to kidnap his girlfriends daughter as the daughter doesnt like him. By doing this he will solve the case himself and get more recognition from work. However, his girlfriend, the daughters mother finds out what is going on and tells the police which leads to the detective loosing his job and being sent to prision.
• Target audience: Both Genders 15+
• Possible scheduling publishing suggestions: December 2010
• How will you test that whether the product is successful? How will you check that it accomplishes the intended effect: We could produce a questionnaire about the ideas we have for our film and see the feedback we get, also we could produce a film trailer to see how much recognition the film gains.
• What generic codes and conventions will be operating in your text: We plan to use as many codes and conventions we can in our title sequence. We will show the details of all the important cast and crew, being presented in order of importance, the films title, intro to character type, info regarding mood and tone, info on genre, questions that the viewer find intriguing, patterns and type of editing that will be echoed in the remainder of the film and Mise-en-Scene and cinematoraphy that will be echoed or elaborated upon later in the film.
• Identify any resource constrains that might affect your production and your hopes for your product: I think the main thing we have to keep under control is the amount of time we use for our title sequence, this is because there is so much to do in a little time. To gain the equipment that we need shouldnt be a problem because we can get it all from school and all we need to film our title sequence is a video camera and tripod. I also dont think money will be an issue as we dont have to pay any money to use the areas we want to and some of the filming will take place in school.

Journal - 13th December 2010

In todays lesson we decided that it would be a very good time to start our storyboards to finalise our ideas for our title sequence. We managed to complete the first half of our storyboard and plan to finish the rest of it on Wednesday 15th December. Other things we decided to do on Wednesday are to take our surveillance camera photographs to start creating our kidnappers journal also we have decided that we would finish our planning brief and treatment.
