Location planning/location set up

Location planning

we visited multiple locations before coming to the conclusion that we should film in the desert as the first two locations seemed either to busy or over crowded to actually use to film so we decided the desert and went to check it out it was quiet and it had the perfect setting for our film so we took shots and scheduled a time to go and film 

We first tried a city location to film, we investigated different ares within the city as we thought that the setting was quite nice with the futuristic feeling towards it the problem with filming there, there was too many distractions and problems like not being able to film in that specific location depending whether it was the public having a problem or the buildings around us having a problem resulting in us not choosing this specific location and trying another.

Souq Waiqf was another suggested location to film as it fitted some form mystical environment like a city in the middle of a desert but due to cultural reasons we couldn't film there so we moved on quite quickly but the public atmosphere of the location was quite good, the location was spacious but filled with a very detailed background compared to the other location which was very crowded and filled with different people who wouldn't mind their own business so we decided to go and find another set which shifted our film into something else

              

Communication of group

Communication between group

We based our communication throughout Facebook messenger as it allowed us to keep the communication flowing through our mobiles as it would allow us to stay in contact with each other no matter where we are, We conversed regular to keep up with schedules and plan where and when we will meet up to shoot or discuss our film swell as to just draft our own ideas

Production Schedule

Production Schedule

This was our final production schedule we used throughout our film, we laid out the days separately for different tasks and different challenges it was hard for us to come up with this schedule as everyone had other priorities but we came to a final conclusion on the schedule that we were able to follow and finally film and conclude all aspects of the project

Casting

Cast

Adam Jones (Me) :Actor, Character: Tatarian


I was chosen as the actor/villain as I seemed to have the height and build for the character, i was also told i was chosen as i was quite confident with acting and comfortable with the role idea,so we went ahead with that as i am an amateur actor who could play the role needed

Amber Pollard :Actor,Character: Mia /Costume designer 


Amber was chosen as the actor and costume designer as she was an art student so she could design proper costumes and told the visual aspects of the characters to the film being able to get the clothing and colour schemes right for the costume she had also done some acting for a previous task we did so we decided too cast her for the main character role in the movie,this turned out well for us


Nasri Iskander : Director/videographer


we decided to choose nasri as the director as he is a person who we think could lead our media group as he could take control of the scenes and be able to create a stable and easy workspace for us to use, he also was a videographer as he had the capabilities as he knew how to achieve the shots we needed as well he had very stable stands so we could easily shoot hand held

Jacob Gay : Editor/videographer


We decided to cast Jacob as our editor and videographer as he was the best person for both jobs as it is strong suit he finds editing easy and enjoyable so we decided that he is the best choice to edit our film he is also a very talented videographer in which he takes very well to no matter what situation he's in 

Shot list

Shot List

this is our desired and fulfilled shot list we used  to dictate whether we filmed and what day we filmed on. We found it very easy to plan and decide what days we shot and went to view wether we should film in that location

BBFC Rating

BBFC Rating

For our film we have decided to give the rating of 15+ as it follows with the genre and film of our film as it may be a bit aggressive and violent for kids, our film sets a serious tone as compared to other superhero films like the avengers or iron man which would get a 12 + rating. Some superhero movies are quite serious in some occasions compared to others like batman vs superman which would receive a similar rating like 15+

Prop List

 Prop List

We ended up having one prop for our film as it was low budget as well as we didn't need props other than one to create our idea and vision for the film as we are quite confident on the editing and acting skills that it wasn't needed to incorporate a majority of props 



This prop is not in the final film as changes in plot changed

Costume planning

Costume Planning

Over 3 to 4 weeks we went though an array of costume ideas and came up with these for our rough film draft as we thought these were suitable for the time we wanted film as we wanted to atlas practice for our roles and come up with a preferred finalised idea

             


We decided to go for this type of look in our film for our main actress as it allowed her to fit in with the surroundings of the planet/area she is in allowing her to seem like she is part of the wasteland and she has been there for a while adding more depth to the character as well as a greater understanding of what the people are like in the world we have created. For our main actor we decided to use a very different look as it allowed the actor/character to seem out of place within the wasteland like he is from some other world,for the time being we used very different and basic changes in clothing to create this affect which we will develop later on as production towards our final draft continues but for the time being this was used to create the affect that the character was from a different world
  

               

Opening credits of show

Opening sequence analysis

An opening sequence is something that is used in most if not all working titles and it used to show the most important members of production as the film,show or any production uses this as they open the show to the audience members showing the main people behind in making the production as the show is about to start also placing images in the background for reference to what the show is. An opening sequence is a sequence before any film which is subject to to crediting its production team in reference to the show/film usually playing ,music in the background as well an opening sequence can either use a black screen or images within the sequence this is something that is up to the producer.

DareDevil Opening sequence

In the opening sequence of credits the main base colour is red as hot is relating to the character and his infatuation with the colour red as well as his appearance and name "DareDevil".The figures are mostly made up of red liquids likely symbolising blood,the colour is likely used to show strength and maybe danger of the main character.The opening sequence also shows the city the show seems to be based in "Hells Kitchen" which is based in america, it shows this by creating figures out of the liquids that are national landmarks in america that are in New York city later on it starts slowly building a figure that is in the form of a masked crusader that has is back turned against the viewer while creating a base title of the show with a bleeding effect.

Title Analysis

Title analysis

The font used for a films title is important as it should blend with the movies concept,genre and narrative of the film. For our own film we looked and different movies for inspiration towards the final outcome of the course


Machete uses a very Red and dark effect to add to the feel of the film creating a form of tone that is quite dark and bloody, the title also shows the main character standing over the title giving a figure of empowerment over the movie sequence,the film has a very serious tone to it and you can also tell that by looking at the titles imaging


Insidious has a very dark and red fonted title creating a very serious look towards it red is also demonic in relation to the film and its story its a horror film and red has a relation towards it, this film title gives a feel and idea towards the film and what it does to the audience as they anticipate what is going to happen after the title sequence


The Great Gatsby has a very golden and rich look towards the title sequence it seems to be very posh and brand feel towards it,it also gives an idea that the film isn't a very modern based one as the designs around the title as well as the font itself has a very oldish feel towards it but creating the idea of wealth or money by the colours. It gives the audience the idea the film is based within a time period that is not to long ago but quite old like mid 1930's but is  also based round some form of wealth.


as you can see each title has some relation to the movie and its genre like with great Gatsby the type of art decoration it uses is based round the 1920/30's as that was the time the events took place while Machete uses a red base color for the whole title sequence resembling blood as it is quite a gory action movie.Movies always try to follow what the film is doing by adding titles that resembles the idea they want to push towards audience and what film it is.If the font is curly and oink the wouldn't associate it with a horror film the same would go with a kids a kids movie if they were to do the opposite,putting a scary title for a kids film.This is why association with the film and title is a mandatory in order to make the understanding of a film possible
