Title & Credits

As a group we have been looking at titles and credits of different romantic film and looking at what is appropriate to fit the genre.


The text style suits the film title as it seems like a females writing and you can sense what kind of mood the film is giving. The colour of the text is debatable as the colour red is normally associated with danger and blood, however i think it works as it shows love and romance due to the text style.

As we had finally came up with a name for our film "The Dearly Departed" we had written in different texts to see what style of front would suit the sort of genre our film. As it was going to be a romantic tradegy we settled on the fancy writing.

The font style for the "Titanic" is bold and simple, this works for this film as it seems the bold name writen on the ship.

The font for "OPEN WATER" is bold and simple so the image would stand out more to give more to the effect.

Christmas term

Over the Christmas term we were not able to do any filming as we were not set with the correct equipment& due to weather conditions we could not film certain sences as it would be hazardous to our saftey, however at the start of January we will be defiantly be getting filming done and have something to show after all the research we have done and all the time put into doing it.

Letter

We produced a letter asking if we could include people in our film opening. This would also show us how many people we actually had to work with while filming.


'14/12/09
Dear Sir/Madam,
As part of our AS Media Studies course for 2009/2010 we need to produce a film opening. To ensure that we have the best opening possible we will need many extras, we would be delighted if you would take part in this with us for the filming of our first scene on the 18th December at approximately 1.00pm at Sheldon Heath Community Arts College (for address see below*). The clothes you will require will be smart casual as we are hoping to get the effect of an incident at a place of work.

If this is of no problem you may also be required to film for our second scene at a later date for the “Wedding Scene” we know it will be taking place at some point over the Christmas half term. The venue for this scene is by Sheldon Country Park, but if you are able to come we will arrange a meeting point for all cast. For this you will need to bring smart clothes as if attending a Wedding ceremony. E.g.: Boys in suits and girls in dresses - weather permitted.
Bring umbrellas to both events.

The film makers have obviously thought about what they would be including in their films e.g. sences of a sexual nature and foul language

so the ratings are standard ratings to what they would be including.

We thouht that if we would be including any of the above our rating would have to 15.

Health & Saftey Checks

Location 1
Back of School

Risks -
1. Car Park near by
2. Falling down stairs
3. People throwing items from windows above
4. Its now unused

How we will prevent the risks -

1. To prevent any risks from happening by the car park we will ensure that we stay away from it but if there is any need to go into the car park (only if there are no cars around) we will make sure we have a couple of people looking out.

2. When running down the small stairs we will make sure there is nothing on the stairs that they can trip up over such as water and loose stones.

3. We will film out of school hours so classrooms will only be in use by teachers, it also means there will be less cars on the car park as a lot of teachers leave as school ends.

Location 3
The Wedding Scene

Risks -
1. Cars
2. Falling over on gravel
3. Animals

How will we prevent these risks -
1. Have someone looking out at all times, on a path ready to tell if a car is approaching and at the top of the road.

2. Make sure people wear sutiable shoes for the unsteady ground and may be slippy so make sure there is also grip on the shoes.

3. Just ensure that the children don't go out of view also as it is winter time hopefully the Anmials will but put away.

Location 2 -
The House

Risks -
1. When she throws bottles off the dressing table
2. Initially smashing the Photo Frame
3. Throwing the Photo frame at the wall

How we will prevent these risks -
1.Make sure all the bottles on the desk are soft plastic such as moisteriser bottles, but if we need something to look like a perfume bottle we will use a harder plastic but put something soft on the floor out of shot and make sure they land on that.

2. When smashing the photoframe we will wear goggles, gloves (the photoframe will be plastic) and wrap the photoframe in a cloth to ensure none of the shards of plastic fly out.

3. Throwing the photoframe at the wall could be dangerous because it could fly back in the direction it was thrown, so we will make sure that as soon it is thrown she will move out of the way. Also we will smash the picture before it is thrown and therefore she ill not have to throw it as hard/fast and would probably mean that it wouldn't bounce back as easily.
