2. FONT RESEARCH AND PLANNING – 06/01/15
Today, I researched into different font titles which we could use in our
film opening.
From doing this I am now more confident in picking a suitable font for
our titles.
This task enabled me to think about different potential fonts which we
could use for the title of our opening. By doing this I now have clear
ideas of the particular font which I would personally want to see in
our opening for our title.
3. PERMISSION FOR FILMING – 07/01/15
When conducting my research to whether we would need
'permission' to film in a public place, the results showed that we
wouldn't need 'permission' as we are filming our first shot down an
alleyway. Before filming our draft footage, we looked around the
alleyway to see if there were any signs that objected to us filming
there. To our relief there wasn't, from my research I found that filming
in a bank's alleyway isn't allowed as that is one of their objectives
set.
This task was helpful as if we filmed in a location that we shouldn't
have been using, it could have had consequences on our draft
footage. By finding the right location to film when filming our draft and
from our research we are now confident that the alleyway we have
chosen will work, therefore creating enigma in our opening, as the
audience doesn't know why the Hitman begins in the alleyway.
4. MUSIC FOR OUR OPENING – 07/01/15
We looked into un-copyrighted music, trying to find something that
would work for the first few seconds of the opening. After the
alleyway scene, we wanted to include some more intense music to
compliment the fast-past, jumpy nature of the second half of the
opening. We considered making our own music, but decided that we
didn't have time to waste on the production, and chose to find and
edit together two existing pieces of music.
This task has helped me to now understand what pieces of music we
are going to put together and how to go about doing it, making it
sound effective yet allowing it to create enigma on our audience at
the same time.
5. THRILLER SOUND RESEARCH – 07/01/15
Today, I researched into thriller sound conventions and am therefore
more confident in producing conventional sound within our film
opening.
This task helped me to think about what sounds would work and
again reinforce that sound isn't always that important in horror
openings. Therefore, as a result of this we will talk over what sounds
we are going to use.
