Evaluation Question 1

The answer to my Evaluation Question 1 was done on a PowerPoint and uploaded to YouTube.

Distorted - Final Cut

This is the final cut of our opening sequence. I am very happy with it. We showed signs of creativity and also made our opening sequence different to others. 

Filming Progress (Update)

My partner and I are almost if not fully finished with our filming. We have some great footage and knew exactly how we wanted our scenes shot. We got a lot of angles and tried to think carefully about camera angles, lighting and mis en scene. We caught close ups, mid shots, paid careful attention to the 180 rule, we managed over the shoulder shots and long shots. We recorded the voice sequence into a dicta-phone amd are going to put it on the video.

Opening Sequence 2

This opening sequence of this film also has a voice over which relates to ours. I feel that voice overs allow a further insight into the characters past lives. It allows a story to be told before the movie
begins so that the audience recognise what is going on without being confused.

 I was drawn in immediately which is the same effect i want our opening sequence to have. The film stars Casey Affleck, who is one of the main characters in the film, and from the outset he speaks to the audience over a range of shots which establish location, genre and the nature of the film (including the type of characters the audience should expect throughout the film).

Moodboard

This is my mood board. It represents the main theme of my opening sequence which is British drama. These are all aspects of British gritty genre's that establish the genre. These are things you would usually expect to see in this type of genre.

Logo First Idea

This is our first logo idea. We decided to go with the name 'Halo Visions'. We made it in the form of an animation  and used a beam of light across the words to give it a holey feel to relate to the word halo. We also added a halo on top of it.

Title Idea 1

This is the first idea of our title that my partner and i put together. The grey background was used to match our grey toned opening sequence. This will be put at the end of our opening sequence after the reaction shot of our main character Bobby. The image does not look very clear and and looks 'distorted' which was intentional to relate our main characters life not being clear and uncertain and his life is in fact distorted.
