Reflection on School Trip

From going on this school trip, I learnt so much which has really made an impact on what I'm doing.
I found a good website to use is: www.artofthetitle.com, we were given his blog address which was www.petesmediablog.blogspot.com

I learnt that in my own title sequence, we need to give a sense of what the film will be about but can't give too much information away.

SOUND IS IMPORTANT.

Our task is to create the titles and opening of our film and we should aim for two minutes.

We are awarded:
- 20 Marks for Research and Planning
- 60 Marks for Construction
- 20 Marks for Evaluation

*Need a lot on blog*
*Visual evidence and explanations*

PRELIM: - what worked and what didn't? - get others advise on what they liked
RECREATIONS
CREATE OWN PRODUCTION COMPANY
LOOK AT FILM OPENINGS

To look at other students work - type in 'G321 film openings' on youtube

Titles Analysis - timeline, each time a title comes up and what it says
Possible Scenarios
25 Word Pitch
Moodboard
Treatment
Peer and teacher feedback

Some advice we was given is that we should know what is going to happen in the whole film even though we're not filming it but this will help us.

Recce Shots of Locations
Examples of shots
Costumes
Props

Storyboard
Animatic
Moodboard

Logistics Planning - including a risk assessment

The Shoot:
- People, Places, Props, Costumes
- Rehearsing
- Equipment, jobs on the day
- Keeping a record of the process

Edit:
- All need to do a part
- Screenshots of process
- Importance of audio and titles
- Foley - not just music
- Rough cut deadline
- Peer feedback

Evaluation:
- seven questions become seven tasks e.g. nine frames, split screen comparison, voiceover on distribution

Most common problems:
- looks more like a trailer/short film
- insufficient titles
- poor sound and lighting
- confusing for viewer
