Our sponsorship for our film:

Soon as our film starts there has to a sponsorship of the making of the film so in our lesson we had to come up with a logo that provides this information, this will get more extra marks and also make our opening of a film more professional.

This is what me an Ian came up with:

Because our film was a type of action of action film we wanted a form of it in this section, but then i me an Ian wanted a kind of abstract and professional looking creation so i used paint shop pro to bring out the textures and affects upon these elements. How we came up with the name 'ID productions' is that we looked our our names and my name starts with a D and Ian name starts with and I so ID came to mind straight away and then as we are pro ducting something then i came up with the productions part and then put in the middle as it was the most affective place to put it and people can see what it is.
Also i added lens flares to reflect the image and make it stand out more being shiny and blends in with the crystallized guns.

Will we use this at the intro of our opening film probably about 3-5 second into it.

New characters for our final piece

Looking at the feedback and now the new storyboard me and Ian have made a close decision to change the cast abit we are keeping the same characters "Smig rogers" and also "Ricky" and "Thompson" its just they need spicing up a bit.
When we were thinking and looking back on the draft of the film we found the character to sarcastic that it didn't make them look or show an intimidating side to them, but the people like the acting and accents.
So looking at our characters this is what we came up with:

Smig:

• Needs a hat - the reason why we need a hat for this character is because it hides his identify as a role model of a character, with smig having red it was good in a way of having the over the top factor but me an Ian wanted a character that only come out of the dark and is very anonymous and we wanted to show the best possibility of the this, so using the hat it will cover the red hair and bring out a more thuggish type of character and change the appearance dramatically.
  

It will bring out this kind of effect in smig and I think make him look more overpowering and the actor has the right outline of body posture after people has said from watching the movie and also the teachers.
I think the clothes are still perfect for this characters maybe try and get a leather jacket though and the glasses are to over the top again and doesn't bond with the new character in stock.

• Accent - It just needs to be a bit more louder and clearer and change the accent to a more kind of strong affect to show off his character intimidation. Also some of the line are too cocky and sound very cheesy so we need to take that into consideration next time as well.
  

Ricky - Ricky is a perfect character but we need him to be more arragessive in his body language like in the storyboard we need close up's of him banging the table or grabbing smig and threating him every time he trys annoy him and keeps nagging him in a stong voice and the eye contact in the draft is perfect as well.

Thomson - He needs to be a lot more argrssive and a mean and clever tough nut which is what we got in stock for our next film, i think the clothes in the last one is more better it just we had the same actor for it so we need a new one so someone who is tall and has a sharp face and strong jesture in body language and size. He going to be like an evil twin to smig and he WANTS this breifcase.

The character should look like this -











So with this new cast is makes the film more hard hitting and sharper in its acting and enviroment of the opening and shows off the film from the very start, more impact and dramatic which will hopefully gives us more marks =).

New Storyline for opening

Me and Dan have now changed our idea for a film opening however keeping the same important components for example the same characters and the same idea of the interigation room and the story revolving around a briefcase and its contents.

The main changes we have made is that the film will be shown cross cutting from the interigation room to the outside action!

We are currently getting all our thumbnails together and will then be getting our dates ready to film , we aim to be completely filmed by the end of next week, giving us the final week to edit and get it right!

Feedback form draft work:

Looking at the feedback that was provided I found myself quite alot of errors:

• We need a parallel editing - more accuracy and more of a meaning
• The interview needs more factors to make it look more realistic
• Need accurate reverse shot and remember the 180 rule
• Our fight scene needs ALOT of readjusting as me and Ian thought it was rubbish
• People have found the red hair distracting within the film, not a good role model maybe, maybe a hat needs to been worn.
• More close ups and also add an affect in.

So looking at these errors there very clear to read and can be handled very easily and when i looked back on our film draft i came up with loads of new ideas aswel.

Scene 1- Interview:

Looking at the interview i looked very basic with the shot being put into place, we need the camera angles way much more sharper to bring out the rough side image of the character smig and the sharpness. Also prob needs to used more , we need a tape so it looks more realistic and one person in our class commented on the window in the background and a interrogation room needs to be just 4 walls which i agree with. Also maybe a timer would be at the top left hand side of the screen so it looks more realistic and affective aswel. Also the character smig need to be more arrogant and i think needs to wear a hat this time as last time i thought he was just abit unrealistic to read. We need more lines and more staght forward and snappy.

Scene 2 - Flashback:

I wasn't really impressed with this scene to be honest i thought it was rushed and not taken into consideration. For starters smig does not need the glasses as it does not make the chactarter yet again i think a grey hat would work again. The character of tom needs to be changed as we had the same person doing Ricky in the interview and people could spot him easily so we need a new actor. Also the fight scene was a complete shambles it needs to be more graphic punches and kicks placed realistically and accurate and more shouting needs to be included. The onlty thing i liked in the scene is when four finger Jones punched him and the point of view shot but we did lose that. I think what we need to do is make the fight scene alot more reckless and affective in every single detail as possible, also when handing over the briefcase we could instead get a low shot of feet walking from both character and then meet and then hand the briefcase over in a mid shot and then walks the opposites ways. So just a more accurate word planning and also affective fights will work a charm and camera angles and role play needs to be more affective.

So what to do now?

Now i look back on the flim i can see lots of errors and lots of new ideas the when they said parralel editing i now think that scene 1 and 2 can be mixed in when they talk about the events it can flick onto the event that being placed and also a shot of smig looking into the briefcase and the way he expresses his feeling over it can give an effective enigma code for the audience and says you dont want to know what in the breifcase. Also i think smig needs a bit more attitude to himself and comes across a more unreckonigned character and itimmtidating to others. Maybe a weapon needs to be in jones hands when hitting smig as dont look realistic. And the 180 rule needs to work to settle with a good grade. Also our ID productions can go at the start of the flim and people names go at the start with maybe a close up of smig walking to the interview room, this will make the flim more professional in its layout of work.

And also looking at our research the storyboard needs to be on the blog for a higher grade level, and photos of the character / front cover page.

Film feedback and Targets

From our feedback we have realised that we need to do a few things to get it to are desired level. First of all we need to parallel edit which will make it look more affective. Also we need to use a actual breifcase to use instead of the holdall bag we used to improve its accurarcy and it may help the film if we show the audience what is inside the beifcase.
For when we film the interview scene again, we could add extra props to improve the mise en scene, and maybe some extra close ups in this scene.
The next thing that obviously needs work is the fight scence. and another suggestion is that we fim the whole fim in black and white because of Dans red hair could be distracting to the audience!!
