Added Script

this is part of the extra conversation between the two characters, we thought this conversation would show the audience an insight of what the film is going to contain, as Zoey says "Why can't I find Mr Right?" and knowing the film is going to be called "Where is Mr Right?" the audience knows this is what the film is going to contain. 




Donna: You are so depressing Zoey.

Zoey: Why can't I find my Mr Right?

Donna: Just stop looking and be like me, I'm still having fun in life. 

Zoey: But I want to settle down my wild child days are over, and all my relationships have ended in tears. I just want to be happy.

Media Lesson Today

Unfortunately today we didn't have the camera as we learnt it to Kelly and Louise at the weekend after we filmed for our shots and they haven't bring it in therefore we can't do any editing in adding our extra footage. Instead today we will be doing our credits and adding our institution into the beginning credits.

Extra Filming

25th Febuary we did some more shooting to add scenes to our opening scene. Before filming we planned out all the footage we needed and wrote out our script that we needed to re write to make the conversation between the two characters longer. We managed to get all the footage we needed: a reaction shot of Zoey when Donna is walking through the door, conversation between the two characters and then we re-shoot Donna's entrance walking into the house and walking up the stairs. The shots that we got we much better then what we had previously  as we remebered to keep with the 180 degree rule and did more shots to widen our range of different camera angles and movements. We remembered to keep with the continuity making sure hair, makeup, clothing, scenery and props were used in the same way as before and in the same place so the audience wouldn't know we had to film on two separate days. There was no problems involving the camera and actors. 

Fonts

These are some of the fonts we are thinking of using as our credits in our film opening. The Typography of this writing is very girly and feminine, with the ilatics of the writing. As the writing is quite busy and stand out, we want the colours of the writing to be quite simple so the beginning of the opening credits doesn't look too busy when running through.

 The second image of writing is what we are planning to use the writing is very girly and fun fitting in with the theme of a romantic comedy showing the theme this film will have of being girly and fun. The writing has ilatics and stars in continuing with the feminine and youthful effect.

Copyright Approval

As we wanted to use the song "Two Birds" by Regina Spektor we emailed her management a few weeks ago, regularly we checked are inbox seeing if they had replied by unfortunatley they never got back to us, and as our time was runnning out to edit and to start filming our opening scene we had to think of something else. We still wanted to use this song as we thought it was best song to fit our title opening. We therfore needed to find a good cover version of the song, we searched youtube for cover versions of this song, we found this cover on youtube which has a soft and upbeat tune to it with a really good singing voice which we thought was perfect to fit in with our opening sequence. We emailed the girl on youtube saying how we were filming for our as-level media and we thought her cover of this song fitted in and would be good to feature in our opening, we had a quick responce back and she was willingly allowed us to use her cover version.

Pictures of Costumes and Shooting

These are the costumes that the characters 'Zoey' and 'Donna-May' are wearing in the opening scene, we wanted the character 'Zoey' to look very simple and portray the mood of the atmosphere we wanted to give off in the opening scene. 'Donna-May' is very loud and outspoken she is wearing a stand out costume making are completely opposite and contrast against the other character 'Zoey' where she is wearing dark and dull colours. 

These are some pictures of the day shooting, giving an inside look of what happened when filming our opening scene. 

Extra Filming

To improve our opening scene to enable it to get a higher grade we will have to add a few more shots and improvements to shots to add. At the beginning of the film we need to have an establishing shot of the scenery of where our film is going to take place, this is a normal element to have in a movie giving the audience a knowing of where the film is going to be set. We also need to have a shot of the main character driving towards the house this will add to the stablishing shot of the knowing of where the film is going to be set in. When Ellie enters the opening scene we need to improve on how she makes her entrance into the house, adding a shot of her walking into the house or up to the house and also adding a shot outside of the house watching her walk up the stairs adding to the shot of her feet walking up the stairs. To improve the shot of Ellie's feet walking up the stairs we need to reshoot this as ellie becomes off balance and moves out the shot in the original shooting so we had to cut this bit off therefore having this cut makes the shot in the rough cut jumpy. We are also needing to do the dialogue when Ellie walks into the room as the shots cut suddenely making it jumpy and not run through. We also needs to do an ending as the ending of the rough cut cuts off.

Logo

These are examples of our logo for our studio productions, we wanted to portray our studios as professional and key to theme being a fun, and light hearted production company. We used quite girly colours of reds, pinks, blues and white to represent this theme we are wanting to portray.

this logo is our final design we thought by having girly colours would only appeal to a women audience and in future movies the audience would decrease because of this error. We thought the image is iconic for filming production of a film reel, and iconic for movies. We kept the typography as we thought it worked well against the background and stand out although it is simple.

Rough Cut

http://ellielouisesnowdon.blogspot.com/2012/02/rough-cut.html#comment-form

this is a rough cut of our opening scene so far, we have not yet added the music, titles or ending as we are still needing to shoot some extra footage to get the opening right.

Slide Transitions

this clip is an example of our slide transitions in the opening scene, we think this has worked really well as the clips all fit together in this style of opening. To create this style we had to think about the timing of each clip coming in and the way to show a busy working lifestyle to portray this character and what she is like before she speaks and the audience knows more about her. I think when we add the music..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKR1bRniFco the way the slides move and the style of this effect works well.
