Free Lesson 7/3/12

Today in a free period as a group we did some final editing before the dealine lesson on friday. We corrected titles and credits to make them flow through with the opening more, changing the different transitions used for the texts making them all the same and look similar to each other, to make it look more professional. We zoomed in on our Paramount logo and our own studio logo to make them fit the screen, just making sure that every looks right and professional.

Logo Problem

With our original logo we have created, we found that we made the logo too small to fit in the screen in the movie maker programme as when trying to zoom up into the image it became pixelated and difficult to see making the logo look unprofessional and messy. Therefore we had to redo the logo making the logo bigger for the image to look sharp and professional when put into our opening scene. We still kept the same logo design but simply just made it bigger and changed the position of the writing using Photoshop.

Doing this it will keep our opening scene look professional and more like a realistic opening scene with the logos.

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.
