Hardware:

An example of hardware could be 3 different companies, one company could spend alot of money and make there films 3D another company could do the same but spend less money, then the third company will not choose the option of 3D. The option that didn't choose 3D will still gain as much money as the two other companies with out having to spend out because they will still have a large audience who do not like 3D films so they will gain income form that, and the two other companies could loose money because some audiences do not like 3D films.

Lesson Notes

In Mondays lesson I was on the macs editing our title sequence, all I have to do now is add the titles into the title sequence and the music then we will be done. i believe the title sequence could of gone better but we kept changing our idea so wasnt left with alot of time to shoot and edit. I do believe that other team members could have put more effort into this title sequence and helped out alot more instead of not turning up to lessons or not contributing to tasks that are set. Also when i was editing the title sequence I didn't receive any help from team members.

Lesson Notes

In this lesson we succesfully filmed the opening of our title sequence where the young girl is playing with the doll, we then sucessfully took the first 65 photos where the doll is in the bed and the quilt moves down. this went really well and we found no implications, we took photos in a dark room where lamps were our only source of light, we did this so when taking the photos the lighing wouldnt change. i then edited the sequence together and think that this lesson went well.

Struck by Rain Film Pitch

Struck by rain
View more presentations from keekee33.
this is my groups film pitch, we were given good feedback and have been told to improve and add more detail i.e director.
NOT FINISHED

Testing Stop Motion 2

In our lesson with shaun as a group we decided to test stop motion again but with the actual doll and background that we are going to use.
This could have gone better because even though we positioned the camera on a tripod the camera was still moving and this took away the effect of stop motion.

Plans for next lesson and notes

For tomorrows lesson we are planning on testing out stop motion skills but actually using the props for our opening title sequence, we will be testing a certain scene that we are going to actually going to put into our stop motion titles sequence which will be the scene were our character is flying through the air whilst holding onto a newspaper. We hope that this scene will be successful because this will truly test whether or not we have the ability to pull the opening title sequence off.

All of our props are going to be hand made which means that if they need improvements or need changing we can do this as we wish.

Our original idea was to use a person in out opening title sequence but now we have decided to use a doll because the way we wanted to shoot wasn't workable and would of required to much work which we wouldn't of had time to complete.

We are planning at the end of our title sequence to show the opening few seconds of our film. This is only possible if we have enough time.

Saul bass's posters and titles had an uncanny ability to capture the mood of a film with simple shapes and images. this was his preferred method as opposed to using a boring photograph of a film star.
