Another change in filming.

We had planned to film on Thursday however, due to it being a progress review day we have had to change our schedule yet again to filming possibly tomorrow and Wednesday.

Costume Design for our Fantasy

Our protaganist in our fantasy film is an office worker so he will be dressed in office buisness clothes, possibly a suit.

Todays Lesson 14th March 2011

For today's lesson I will continue to blog after falling behind in my group, we have been discussing new ideas for our film after deciding that we will be cutting the first couple of minutes of our film that were going to be set in a house. This is because it will be irrelevant to the rest of our film plus as our group is falling behind there are tim constrictions. Me and Ben will be blogging whilst Brendan will be writing a script for our film.

Internet Resources we have used

Throughout both the preliminary project andn our Opening credits project we have used many websites to help us with our research, these have included -

• http://www.imdb.com/ - Mainly for any information to find about an individual film or actor. Very helpful when searching for films of TV shows like our own.
• http://www.youtube.com/ - Helpful when searching for a video for our textural analysis, these have helped on several occasions and our also very easy to upload to a blog.
• http://www.wikipedia.org/  - A very reliable source when looking for pretty much anything to do with a film, actor or TV series. All articles are very in-depth.

Production Logo

We have been discussing several idea for the name of our production company that will feature on each film that we make. Some of the ideas that came up were -

• Giraffe on a Segway
• Giselle on a Forklift
• Meerkat on a Tram
• Koala on Zeppelinn

However, we ended up choosing this logo which Ben made for our group -

Rough outline for our Opening credits sequence

After some discussion about which one of our four ideas we were going to do (Romantic Comedy, Action, Horror or Fantasy), we decided on doing the fantasy project. As we were falling behind we had to quickly think of a rough idea for what the events would be of our film. We also decided we want our fantasy film to be grounded in reality.

We decided that our film would follow this rough plotline -

• Protaganist awakes in his house in normal universe
• Begins to get ready to work
• Leaves his house and begins walking
• Walks his usual route into a forest
• Falls down a hole and awakes in to a different part of the world

Titles will be shown throughout. We planned for to be as normal as possible before this event to make it seem like this is a random occurence in this universe and not an everyday thing like in most fantasys. By doing this it will ground the film in to a reality.

After writing and drawing an entire storyboard for our popening credits film we drew out a small picture only one onto post-it notes. Ben took them on his camera and uploaded them. They are only a very rough outline of what our film will end up look.
