Creating a Production Logo.

When creating our production logo, we wrote "piping" onto a cigarette and "production" onto Gemma's hand, who is a member in our group. We filmed her smoking the cigarette, then edited the background so all we could see was the foreground, not the original background. 

We then put it into the beginning of our film opening, turning the volume of the clip down, so now it was only visual, shortening the clip to about 3-5 seconds, creating an opening production logo, for our opening.

Progress Of Film Opening.

We have been able to make our music track longer so it moves more smoothly, we have now complete our film opening.

Progress Of Film Opening.

Throughout the past couple of weeks we have edited each shot that we liked and created our film opening. We have also added narration, music, freeze frames and our productions/studio logo. However we have one last sentence of narration to add into the video and then the film opening will be completed. 

Synopsis, Tag Line And Blurb.

Tag Line: Fisticuffs - The art of fighting with the fists.

Blurb
Leading a double life is a talent that comes all too easy for Elizabeth Smith; one - drinking champagne celebrating her successes with her aristocratic - yet highly controlling family acquaintances, and another drinking Special Brew with her less noble associates in the depths of the urban jungle on the other side of town. However, when her life is knocked out of balance when her devoted crew become aware of her disciplined, middle-class existence, which way of life will she choose?

Synopsis

Elizabeth Smith comes from a very comfortable, middle-class background, however, to escape the pressures of her parents great expectations, she forms an alter-ego that goes by the name of Lizzie. Lizzie is feared by many but known by few; her 'crew' are a group of passionate and loyal girls from the estate who are notorious for their affinity for violence. They view Lizzie as their first in command. However, when they learn of her home life and compliance to her parents' demands, they insist that Lizzie must stay true to herself and choose just one way of life. In order to do this, however, she must first learn who her true self really is.

Second Day Of Filming.

During our second say of filming, we were able to film the main character riding a horse at our 'hopeful' location, Caistor Equestrian Centre. 

However we were unable to get into the arena to film, so we had to get the best shots that we could from the watching area of the indoor school. Also, the lighting was not as good as we hoped, however we managed to edit this problem. 

First Day Of Filming.

During our first day of filming, we were able to film the scene where the main character walks, knocks on a door and the fighting scene.

The image here shows our cast, who were all dressed according to the costumes that we had chosen to conform to the genre we had chosen (CRIME).

Preliminary Task.

Filming Update.

This is the first day we filmed we did the filming in three different areas around Market Rasen.

First- we filmed down Chapman Street first this was of Lizzy walking down the road this consisted of a long shot of her walking from behind from the front and a close up on her feet. We did this about five times each so we had a wide variety to choose from.
-Then it was of her walking to the door and a anonymous man opening the door we remembered the 180 degree angle.

This was very successful the lighting fitted very well and the angles of the cameras where perfect.

Second- We filmed randomly down the high street this was not intentional but we think it looks very good it is a hand held shot of us all walking down the high street.

This was very successful too the light was just setting and it showed the passing of time from the first section  of filming to the next.

Third- This was filmed in a little park near the primary school we thought this was suitable for the location of the fight. we managed to get plenty of establishing shots we got this by having the camera stood on top of a climbing frame this created a a brilliant establishing shots of the fight. We also did close ups high angled shots and mid shots this is to create a tense feeling through out the fight.

This was also successful as by the time they reached the park it had got dark which shows that time has passed and that all of these events happened all in the same day.
My over all thoughts about this day of filming was that it was very good and we filmed some brilliant footage.
