Naming our Intro

As we started to think about our title sequences we remembered we hadn't thought of a name for our actual film. we decided to brainstorm and finally came up with the name 'Rose' we decided that this was a great film name as felt it was bold but also could be interpreted as 'Rose' being the victim or even 'Rose' being the attacker.

This is a picture of our brainstorm:

Costume

Male Costume:

We choose this costume as we felt the smart/casual look was perfect for what we wanted to portray, the man being the murderer. The suit jacket and the cufflinks makes the male look mysterious and professional which helped us portray him as the murder at the start. 

Female Costume:

We decided to dress our female in all black as once again we felt it made the female look mysterious. However we made sure the dress had lace on it as we felt that was quite daring connecting with our seductive theme linking to her being the murderer. we also paint her nails red to symbolise danger.

Our first cut as you can tell is no where near ready however you can see  what we are trying to portray. From this first cut we have notice that some camera angels aren't what we had in mind so we will have to re-shoot some parts. There are also so parts missing so we will have to arrange a time with our actors to re-shoot. Apart from that i'm very happy with our first cut as i feel that as a group we are on the right track to exceeding in want we wanted.

Harriet Newman's summary of Filming day 1 + Shooting

Uploaded By Harriet Newman

This vlog sums up our first day of filming. Our roles and responisblities:

Connor - Producer
Harriet - Editor/Organizer
Hannah - Head Writer
Beth(myself) - Director/Costume

Although we had these designated roles throughout the day  we found that we all shared responsibilities as when we combined our ideas and skills we found the out come was generally better. From combining our responsibilities I have also gain some more skills as I can now confidently use the camera on the tripod correctly.

Evaluation - Connor Barbor split screen

Uploaded by Harriet Newman. 

 This blog by Connor really helps put our idea into reality. We can see what potential the split screen has and helps us picture our actual idea.  However from doing some further research into split screens we have found that we no longer need to do this to portray what we want to. Overall this experiment helped us realize that we need to play around with our filming as the outcome may not be what we expected.

Animatic final piece

Our animatic:

 

This is our animate. We have decided to use a wide range of jump cuts and fade out transitions. Our aim is make the setting seductive and with an ominous tone. The intro for the film ‘se7en’ like we have said before is our inspiration.
