Research and Planning

Before we could go out and film, we had to plan what we were going to do, this involved creating a shot list of the different angles and camera shots we were going to use. We also created a script of which we had to follow to make shooting a success.  By doing this it really helped us to plan what we were going to achieve when we went out filming.

We did find the story boarding and shotlisting quite difficult because it needed to be accurate and we didnt want to be changing what we had already wrote down. On the shot list we also wrote down how long we wanted to spend filming each different shot.

Script: Leah
Shotlist: Emma
Storyboard: Leah

Below is the Script.



 
This is the Shotlist, this was completed by Emma. On the shot list we had to write all the different camera shots and angles.



Finally the Storyboard, this was completed by Leah, on the storyboard we stated what was going to happen in each shot.

Our horror film Ident

This is our ident we created and made for our horror film opening, this was made by Emma on final cut pro using a template on the programme, whilst Emma was editing as a group we decided on the colours and music we wanted to use within the ident. We are happy with how our ident turned out as we feel its fluent and eye catching to our target audience.


As a group we chose to use the colours red and black because these are well known colours to be used for titles in horror films. I researched the music we could use and came across this piece called 'Russian Milk' I felt it sounded different yet it caused was freaky. There was a lot of different music we liked but this one was the one we felt looked and sounded best as it flowed well with our ident. In our original plan we decided on the name 'elfs productions' for our ident name but then we thought that it didn't fit the whole concept of it being a horror film so we decided to flip the name and use 'self productions'. Our horror ident is a total of 13 seconds long and we are using it at the very start of our 2 minute horror film opening. As a result of our ident, I think my group are happy with how it turned out.
