Day 1 of Filming

During this day of filming, we managed to get the consent from the actors which we did not interview so that we could film them. This included the groups in the classroom and also the male protagonist.

We then began to film the classroom footage. This included Bronte, our female protagonist, walking into the classroom. We showed this through match on action and also a medium shot, keeping into the 180 degree rule. However, we needed the footage of the meet up between the female protagonist and her friend, so that we could get an idea if they were walking in together. This will be done in the second day of filming. We have also filmed the conversation between the female protagonist and her friend. We used a shot reverse shot and also the rule of thirds. We have done this so that it show the two characters talking to each other but in an effective way. The lighting for this scene was good because you could clearly see each character due to the natural classroom lighting. We also put extra concealer to hide the imperfections on Bronte's skin so that the camera would pick up on the flawless skin. We also filmed Oliver, our male protagonist, entering the wrong classroom and this is the first time they realise that they are in the same school.

We then went outside school where we filmed Bronte walking down the road which proved to be difficult because we kept on getting other people behind. We then called Oliver so that he could come and do his footage. We made them stand on the opposite side of the road where we got the to look at each other. We filmed Oliver first where he looked at Bronte across the road. We the filmed Bronte doing the same. It was difficult to work out the 180 degree rule and so this took us a few tries. We had to also make sure we left enough time so that the voice over will fit in with the time of her walking.

We then walked back into school where we asked the lady on reception if it was okay to use the sign in book and to film at the front desk. She agreed and so we filmed Bronte walking into school. We then decided to use a close up where we filmed Bronte signing in. She then suggested that she looked at some posters on the wall so she is taking the new surrounding in. We liked this idea and so decided to use it. We then filmed Bronte walking down the hallway. This took multiple times because children kept walking past and getting into shot. We then filmed a high angle shot of Bronte walking up some stairs to make her look vulnerable. This is where we stopped because we ran out of time as it was lunch and so we kept on getting other school children which we did not want.

Voiceover for our film

We recorded the voice over on our phone using the voice recorder and uploaded it on to the computer, we recorded the voice over two/ three times, some with the non diegetic sound and some without so that we were able to get the timing right with the opening scene. However whilst recording, there were times when the voice over went too fast, and so it didn't fit the 2 minutes opening, so we had to slow down what we we saying, and so that it would work well with the non diegetic music. Also during this found out that the script didn't fit within 2 minutes, so we improvised some more information for the opening scene. This would allow the audience to find out more about the protagonist as she talk through her journey to school/college and talks about her life. During the voice over the female protagonist will be introducing herself to the audience and she will also be talking about her past, and introduces her family. the audience will find out a lot about the female protagonist personality and gives an insight into her life. This will allow the audience to feel apart of the film as the voice over seem as if they are having a conversation with them

Storyboard animatic

Here we have created our storyboard animation, which shows what we plan to happen in our film. In order to create this animation we made a story board on a storyboard sheet, which we had to draw each shot of what is going to happen in our film. After drawing out each shot. We then took individual pictures of each shot that we had drawn and and put them into the adobe photo shop to crop out the picture so they look more clean and tidy.
   When we were were using Photoshop we took each photo that we took and used the crop tool, to cut the photos to the size of our choice, taking out any boarders that showed up on the photo. After we cropped all the photos we saved them as a JPEG image in our own area onto the computer. To put together the animatic we used adobe to put it together. We started selecting the quality of our footage, so we chose to put it at 720p, which will give us the standard quality of our animatic. We then saved a new folder for this task, before we started. We then uploaded all the photos from the computer into adobe and on the right hand side was each shot that we took, in total we had taken 40 shots. With these shots we drag them all on to the timeline, putting them in shot order of how our opening should go. Then we started to crop the each shot, which would represent the duration of each shot that we intend to have in our film. Each shot was around between 3-4 seconds long. Afterwards we started to put in transitions which would show the change in scene and shot within our opening scene. We used the black fade into next shot for the first two shots at the beginning of film, which were the titles which compliments the film. We also had some of shot which directly cut from one shot to another, to show the journey of the protagonist during the day. This will allow the audience to follow through each scene and follow the protagonist through her journey to school, and this will make them feel involved.  After adding the transitions to our footage,  we played the footage back and we decide to add the the non diegetic sound over the background of the opening scene that we had story boarded. After adding the non diegetic sound, we played it back and we though we needed to put the volume down in order for the audience to hear the voice over (which we have not included in the animatic). But whilst editing our opening we will include the voice over in. After we started to fade out some of the music at certain points within the shots to represent awkward moment between the male and female protagonist, which is shown when they first see each other on the streets. This will allow the audience to a part of what is going on between the protagonist, leaving an enigma code for them knowing that there will be some sort of connection between them. After the introduction of the tow main protagonist the music is faded back into the shot and continuous through the rest of the opening scene. The non diegetic music stops as the protagonist meets the friend and the dialogue begins, after the music comes back as they travel together to next lesson and the opening scene closes along with the music as well

What went well about our storyboard animatic is that we were able to fade the music to where we wanted the music to stop to show the awkwardness between the two protagonist, and being able to crop the photo successfully through photoshop, giving a cleaner image.
To improve we could make the clearer image of the shot, this could be done by hold the camera still whilst taking the photo. We could also have the voice over included in the storyboard animatic to make that there was an outcome to see how the voice over would fit in.

Representations and stereotypes in our film

The female protagonist will be shown in a stereo typical way, because the the female protagonist will come across as very shy and will talk about her feeling and experiences that she has gone through in past. so the voice over will talk about how she has been moving schools, so she has never experience having close friends, as as she keeps on moving around a lot. This shows the audience to feel sympathetic for her as she she may not fit in as this has not been the first time of moving schools. The female protagonist will come across as vulnerable and innocent. Stereo typically women are presented as innocent and this case linking to the codes and convention of a romance film, we would expect the protagonist to be attractive looking, in which the audience will follow throughout the film.  The personality of the protagonist will be shown as they will come across usually as hard to get with as the male protagonist would usually be doing a lot, just by getting the female protagonist's attention. The costumes which the protagonist as show will be wearing a coat, this will show the audience that the female protagonist will have a hidden personality and its something that may be revealed through. from the audience analysis we found out the they would expect the female protagonist to be shy, cute and friendly, which in the opening we will be able to see a friendly side of the protagonist as she will talk to the friend and will show that they will get along in the film, So these expectations will be met in the opening as the protagonist will show this through the voice over as she interacts with audience telling them about her life.

The male protagonist will be shown in a stereo typically way, because we have represented him as confident and outgoing. This will be shown in the opening scene because the male protagonist will notice the female protagonist show that he makes the first move, which shows his confidence, which allows the audience to find out more about his personality. From the questionnaire analysis the public would expect the male protagonist to be flirtatious and friendly. This shows that audience's expectation of what the male protagonist's personality should be like. we will show small part of this in our opening scene,as this will create an enigma code for the audience,as they would expect a set personality for the protagonists, but would be revealed during the film. Stereo typically, the male protagonist would be represented for the audience to shown as attractive and strong, this will be shown from the appearance of him. The codes and convention of what the male protagonist should be like, is that they should come across as strong, usually quite dominant as they will come across as confident which the audience will expect to see within a romance film.

A Guide for some of your posts

For the representation post - explain the characters in your opening and whether they are stereotypical representations of the romance genre. Do they wear recognisable costumes? Do they conform to the audiences expectations of a girl or boy protagonist in the genre?

Shot List - explain the main shots featured in your storyboard and opening - why did you include the shot/camera angle - what does it show? How does it engage the audience? Is that camera angle conventional of the genre as it shows the character's emotion? Is the two-shot typical because you can see how the boy looks at the girl?

Moodboard

The moodboard that we have created, represents typical conventions of romance film, This would be what the target audience would expect. The target audience typically for romance film would be for women aged 15-45. This is because some of the familiar location in which they know about. In the mood board we have include pictures which include of an attractive male, we have represented this by having an image Jeremy Irvine, We decide to use him, because he has been well-represented and smart, also from a perspective he looks younger, which would then appeal to a younger audience. This would appeal to our film because our setting and story line, would appeal to a youth audience, because some of the cast are young and the story line would appeal as it about a student's first day at school, and will show her journey to school. We also included an attractive female (Nina Dobrev), as typical in romance films there would be an attractive female protagonist, who the target audience would focus on as the they would either start the film with and brief outline of their life and gives the audience an idea of the protagonist personality. The we have a jealous female antagonist, who would usually cause problems within the two protagonists' relationship. We have shown this by having a women looking at two people having a drink. This has been represented through facial expression, Its important for the antagonist to have distinct personality, from the female protagonist, as this will create a separation, and it will be easier for the target audience to identify who the antagonist is, this could done usually through dramatic irony, as the audience could find out before the cast.  In our moodboard we have include a few possible setting which romance films take place, for example school(common room), park, and in modern cities i.e London. The setting is important within a romance film because it will show the protagonists intimate moments, which will help create an atmosphere for the audience to feel a part of, and be engaged in the film. Lastly we have put typical props which could be seen in a romance film, for example roses, holding hands. These all connotes love and passion, and the connection between a couple. This is a cliche as these are what audience would expect from.

Trailing/final makeup

Here we have practiced trailing some of the make up that could be used on the protagonist during filming. In this picture we have focused on the eyes as we have shown an extreme close up of them to show the detail of the makeup. To achieve this look look researched into different makeup tutorials that could be used we followed some of the steps and altered some of them as well as we were changing some of the colour to suit the skin tone of the person that we used to trail on. We have shown shown that we have used a winged eye liner to make the eyes look fuller, and this will enhance the make on camera as it will stand out more. in this eye make we have also used fake lashes, as we thought that it would look better on camera, we want to make sure that make is able to show up and and should be able to make it obvious towards the audience who the protagonist is. we also put few layered of mascara to take out the separation within the lash line. Also the makeup will be something to focus on as the voice over will talk about how she has made an effort on her first day, and the audience can relate to her makeup. For the eye shadow based we have decided to go for suttle colors, so we used creams, beiges and a light brown, do come out with this effect we blended them out showing tone, so darker in the inner corner and coming out light. Finishing off this make up  look we have put on some eye liner on the bottom lash line, However this could make it look too much for the story line, as it will make it look too bold, which will make this look more occasional. The aim of this was to create a school makeup look, so we could possibly take out the eyeliner on the bottom, so it wont't look too bold.


We decide to focus on the eyes and lip makeup, as we thought it would be one of the most important features to focus on whilst filming. The base of the face we have decided upon using the foundation called Revelon Photoready, this foundation will be use on both the protagonist and the rest of there cast but using the right shade, which will match there skin and will look good on camera.  But we have decided to just focus on the protagonists makeup, as the audience will be able to focus on her throughout the opening scene to our film.



During the makeup we looked at what we should put on the protagonist lips, which will be suitable for our theme of having a school makeup look. here we have gone for a light pink on this skin tone, which suit well, as it doesn't look too much as we have the eyeliner we didn't want anything else to be overpowering the overall makeup. This color of lips tones the overall makeup down as there is already a lot going on with eyes. However we want the lips to be present, so adding a bit of colour to the natural lip color will make the lip present during filming.

This overall makeup for this trail, will suit the protagonist, because we though that we need to put the makeup in as its one of the key aspect in which the protagonist talks about how she will be making an effort on her first day at college and so the make should have reflection on what the protagonist says.  

Update on cast

UPDATED Costume

After the change of plans we have decided to change the costume and prop for our opening as there has been as change of scenes and the story line.

FEMALE PROTAGONIST


Our female protagonist is going to be wearing a grey coat which will be done up. She will also be wearing tights and a skirt so that it looks casual but also smart. She will also wear black boots to go along with the black in her coat. This look will look smart but also casual for a school/collage setting. The costume will help the audience to gain knowledge of what she is like as a character and personality. From this look, we try to achieve a grown up, sophisticated look.












MALE PROTAGONIST


The male protagonist will be wearing black jeans which loose fitting and a grey hoodie. He will also wear trainers. This will show that the male protagonist is casual but also laid back. This will make the character seem like a stereotypical male teenager who does not want to go to school.​

Practicing hair styles

 TIGHT FISHTAIL

Here we have been practicing some  hairstyles for possibilities for the protagonists hair during filming. Here we have practiced doing a fishtail braid on two different colored hair. The first type of coloured hair, which we trailed the fishtail braid, is on light brown hair. The lighting which compliments the braid well, as it shows the pattern of the braid. This braid is quite tightly done, and is done on the side of the face. This would be suitable for the protagonist to be  wearing during filming, as it keeps the hair out of the face whilst filming. Also the fishtail braid creates a clear, and sophisticated look on the person wearing this, so would suit the protagonist on the first day of her were wearing this look, as it will show that she is making an effort on her appearance as spoken through the voiceover.   However we could possibly make the braid a bit loser to create a more casual look, and would appeal more to a school/college look.

                                                       
                                                          LOOSE FISHTAIL

The loose fishtail braid has been created on a more mixed colored of brown and blond dyed hair. The loose fishtail braid creates a more casual look on the protagonist wearing this, with added part of a fringe or extra hair. Pulling out extra hair helps to creates a flowy, loose look,  So this could be used for our protagonists hair during filming, as it shows up in good lighting. so this will taken into consideration when using it during filming. However depending on the weather during the day of the filming it could cause the hairstyle to come out of place, make it it look messy, which can have an effect on the appearance of the protagonist.









STRAIGHT HAIR

Here we have gone for the simple hair straightening technique. This is a very simple, and easy hairstyle, which would be suitable for both protagonist and her friend, as this hairstyle would be a casual hairstyle to wear to school. however due to the weather conditions, straightened hair can get frizzy, so during filming we could possible be using hairspray to keep the hair in place. This will would our final hairstyle the we will use on both the protagonist and the friend as the protagonist will have brown hair and her friend has a blond/brown hair, so theses will show different outcomes in terms of personality wise, as the friend will have a bubbly personality which will be shown as she takes the protagonist round school.

Final soundtrack

Second Nature

http://audionautix.com/~audion/Music/SecondNature.mp3

The soundtrack that we have chosen for our opening two minutes, is the second nature soundtrack. we have chosen this soundtrack, because it will compliment well with the opening, as this will create an atmosphere, and mood of the scene. The target audience being of youth and older so the 15 and above, it will allow them to relate to the events that happen during the opening, for example the journey to school, they will be know the feeling what it feels like to be entering in to a new school,and the soundtrack will compliment that , as the mood it creates, which is calming and relaxed, but has hints of what the protagonist's attitude is like, which will show that she is not as excited to start. This soundtrack will be played with a low volume, as the voice is playing at the same time.

Soundrack research

We have looked at different soundtracks which could possibly be played in the background of our opening 2 minutes. We researched different types of music which could compliment the voice over as the opening is being shown. We had to look into non- copy righted music, for our opening. When choosing possible soundtracks we had different filters that we could choose from, which could make up our soundtrack. There was a variety of choices of mood and genre, and option of different tempos. For our own opening scene we need at least a soundtracks for our opening, as we will be need it for the journey of the protagonist going to school, and one to be playing over the background for most of the opening before starting the dialogue. The website that we used to find the non-diegetic music, is http://audionautix.com/index.php 

When looking into different soundtracks, we decide to stick with the theme of acoustic, but add other elements which would suit our genre of film, of being a romantic film. From previous analysis we have looked into different soundtracks for the romance genre. From majority, we found out that a lot of recent romance film would usually have a calm, guitar(acoustic) tone to the sound track which compliments the either the protagonist or the location of the opening scene. The soundtrack is important within a romance film because it allows to set the atmosphere of the scene and its gives the audience and obvious indication that it is a romance film.

When using this website, the website gave us a different option , which we could choose from,which would create or pick as suitable sound based on our choices of mood and genre and the tempo of the music. The genre we specially looked into was acoustic because we want to stay with the codes and convention of a romance film, and to make sure the audience identify that our film genre through the soundtrack, as this is an important feature as it will be one of the features to recognize the genre of the film.

When choosing our soundtrack we decided to use options for genre as acoustic, to give the setting a calming atmosphere to start off with. The moods that we have chosen for our soundtrack were calming, relaxed, uplifting. We have used chosen these because we wanted the soundtrack to reflect calming atmosphere, but have and fresh look as this will relate to the protagonist first day in school/college.  we then chose the tempo that we wanted to associate with our soundtrack, and chose the meduim tempo for the sound track, because we wanted a sound track which would suit the traveling of the protagonist, so it will go with the traveling of the protagonist, which will them compliment the voice over.

 1. Landras dream

http://audionautix.com/~audion/Music/LandrasDream.mp3

After choosing our options for our possible soundtrack, the website gave us some selected soundtracks which fitted towards what we are expecting in our soundtrack, from the options that we had chosen from. The first soundtrack which we were given was called landras dream. this could be a good soundtrack to use, because it would allow the audience to show mood of the protagonist first day at college, so it does compliment the traveling or journey to college. However this could be a bit more up beat, and may not reflect the female protagonist emotions.

2. Second nature

http://audionautix.com/~audion/Music/SecondNature.mp3

This is another soundtrack that we have chosen , which could be possible soundtrack that we could use, which will be played over the top of the opening whilst it is playing. This would be a good soundtrack to use because as the mood and atmosphere of the soundtrack would suit the personality of the female protagonist, making her journey to school, the soundtrack also reflects the protagonist attitude towards her first day, and this will show a clear indication to the audience of the protagonists thoughts, which will compliment the voice over.

3.  Redwood trail

http://audionautix.com/~audion/Music/RedwoodTrail.mp3

This is another soundtrack that we were given after choosing what aspects we wanted with our soundtrack. This could be a good soundtrack to use, because its calming and i would think it would work well with the journey scene to school,the soundtrack also has a slight turn,which could also be used when the two protagonists meet. however this soundtrack doesn't reflect the mood or attitude of the female protagonist.

Practicing making and using titles

For our opening two minutes,  we have practiced making titles, using the software called Adobe photoshop. we practiced using different coloured backgrounds and texts, and features with the production titles.  Here we have looked at different fonts and styles that could be used. for the first image we came up with the production title of cloud production, and we have decide from previous analysis of opening scene that most romantic film would include a black ground, to we have decided to keep with black ground to stay with the convention of what to in a romance film. So the first image shows a light blue font using the font called Nueva STD, and we have decided to use a light blue font, because it connotes relaxation and relief. This would be effective because film are a way of relaxing and is an enjoyment activity to do with family or friends. Watching a certain types of genre of film, will lead to the target audience escaping out of there everyday lives,to watching films, which may have events which they can relate to. Cloud production was the production title that we came up with, so to start off with we decided to have the title in the top right corner, with the black background. however we wanted to add more of an image or an feature of clouds, as we thought it looked quite plain, needed more going on in the introduction titles which would then compliment the title.
 Here we have add stripe of white starting quite narrow from the top and becoming thicker as it comes down. we have decide to use the colour white for our title, because it compliment well with the black background. We did this by creating a white curvy line around the title, and we then used then used smudge tool to smudge out the lines, and make it come out so that it creates a faded look. The white connotes purity and calmness, and this would be useful for the audience because it allows then to relax take away any stress they have to watch this film, so this colors are shown through that. we also decided to move the title from where it was originally, when it was in the top right hand corner,and now we have moved it next to the feature of the white that we added next to it. The overall look of our production looks good, as this will be what we introduce the film with and, the the title of cloud production, and the overall look works well as we have decided to keep it simple for the beginning of the film.


We then started to create the titles for our film, so we began by having the background black, We did this by using the paint bucket tool and and chose which colour by using the colour sector on the left hand side of the with all the other options for using colour or decorating the titles. We decide to come up with name of our film, and we came up with the lost locket. we have chosen this name because the locket will represent a key event in the film, so we have decide to highlight the word locket in the colour red. The colour red connotes love, and closeness, and this will reflect back to the protagonists or the couple, relationship, and the highlight of the red connotes that this locket is something special to the protagonist,and this will leave an enigma code for the audience to find out why the locket has been highlighted in this colour. The colors on the words 'the lost' indicate innocence, which could relate back  to the storyline of the film, and may show where the problem may arise during the film.
