Title Sequences (T&E)

I have been researching ideas on how to display our title sequence. Whilst researching I came across an artist called Saul Bass who is famous for his title sequences at the begining of films. Such as 'Anatomy of Murder' and 'Ocean's 11' (1960).
One title sequence, by Saul Bass, in particular caught our eye. This is the film 'The Man with the Golden Arm'. The title sequence is simple yet effective. We also thinks it gives our title sequence a 'retro' feel as this was very popular in the 1960's.

Here is a mock up we made with the help of Ollie.

Filming is complete

we just finished filming in the tui office department in gatwick and it went really well. we filmed every shot that was planned and even filmed extra shots from different angles.

Snap shots of the anomatic process

These are just a couple of photos we took whilst Tegan was filming the animatic with each individual storyboard shot layed out on the desk in the classroom. 





And then here is Tegan recording the voice over establishing each shot.  

Storyboard shots in order for filming (not the order in the final edited film)

I put together each individual storyboard shot in order of process in filming. I have a print out copy to refer to when in the different areas in the setting so we can do the shots based in the same areas that is less time consuming.

Equipment needed for filming (Jo)

I just took out the equipment that is necessary for our filming session tomorrow. To ensure we acheive some successful shots we will need:

• standard definition film camera
• tripod
• wheeled dolly
• department standard lighting

Then equipment i will supply myself:

• film tape
• camera 

 

Props and Costumes (Jo)

1. Our male character will be wearing a suit to suggest he is a working citizen, to relate to the location we are filming in as we want to imply it is his place of work. It will simply be a black tailored suit alongside a plain white shirt, no tie as we want him to look relaxed after working.

Ronan, the actor of our protagonist  will supply his own suit to wear.

2. This is an exact copy of my dad's brief case we may use to increase the work costume. It is not vital if we don't use it in filming as the suit  is self explanatory enough.

3. Our UN-identified evidence on a piece of paper, which will be shown from the back to the camera so will not need to create a piece of writing on the other side as it will not be seen. 

4. A car to film inside and out 

Other props we need will be supplied in the building such as the desks, wheeler chairs, computers, book cabinets, pen pots, files 

(Tegan will upload her outfit later today that is based on the research we acknowledged to achieve a young female character)
