Behind The Scenes

The making of our Film Opening and these photos highlight the importance of what happens behind the scenes. This was an enjoyable and important process as it was what made the final piece come together.

Production Diary

Production Diary

11/11/2016 – In today’s lesson we made a presentation based on our opening scene which includes topics like the target audience and the narrative. Then presented it to the class and the class were asked to give feedback and constructive criticism and how we could improve or what they liked about it.

14/11/2016 – In lesson today we made and produced an evaluation for our opening scene presentation based on the feedback we were given by the class to help us understand how audiences feel about our film opening. We also let the audience choose the name for our film which is “Outlaw”

15/11/2016 – In today’s lesson we discussed who would do what planning. Josh is to organize the shooting schedule. Sam is making the storyboard and I am doing the Production Diary. We also discussed specific props and costumes and how to organise the scenes that we are recording.


17/11/2016 – Today in lesson we all worked on research and planning for out film opening. Josh made and completed a shooting schedule; Sam researched film openings and titles, and I made and completed a document on costume research. We uploaded two posts onto our blogs as they were finished then Josh started on music research and I stated primary and secondary audience research.  


20/11/2016 - Today we went out to Willingale to do the main bulk of our recording for our film opening. Overall the day of recording went well, everyone showed up and we recorded all the main fights scenes to a high standard that looked very well done and realistic due to the different angles we used we needed but unfortunately we over-recorded the main scenes with different angles that when we looked over the footage at the end of the day we realised some of the transitions between scenes were choppy and the main protagonist, Sam, looked like he was skipping out stepping between scenes and made us wonder how he got there. We have organised a re-recording on Sunday the 4th of December to record filler scenes and even record another fight so that our film opening can be to an even higher standard.

21/11/2016 - In todays lesson we took all the footage off the camera and started to organise the footage and edit it. Josh worked on special effects on after effects and I ordered and cut the footage in Premier. Sam worked on research for titles that we could use for the opening.

22/11/2016 -  Today in lesson Josh worked on the special effects of the gun shots, since I already ordered and cut the footage me and Sam worked on research for different aspects of the marketing and titles.

23/11/2016 - In lesson Josh had finished doing the special effects so he practiced editing random clips to makes sure when he edits the new set of recording clips he can do it faster and to a better quality. Sam continued to research and I worked on the production diary.

24/11/2016 - Josh continued practicing his ability to do special effects whilst we waited to record the next scenes. I worked on the production diary and helped Sam record the storyboard to post on our blogs.

25/11/2016 - I worked on editing the storyboard video whilst Josh continued to practice. Sam worked on marketing research for ideas of what we can do after the main editing is done.

27/11/2016 - We were unable to record as the group and actors had problems with work so we had to postpone the recording until the 4th of December.

29/11/2016 - As a group we reflected on Josh's editing and suggested different ways he can add the effects and how he can make the effects look more crisp and professional.

1/12/2106 - As a group this hour was wasted as we where unsure on what to do with lack of footage due to a unfortunate setback. From this we learned that we need to always make the most of our time and when we have nothing to do work on research for other parts of the film opening.

4/12/2016 - Today we went to record our next set of footage but we had another problem, the other actors all decided to leave without notifying us. So me, Sam, and Josh recorded the opening as just us three. The scenes we recorded worked and flowed a lot better than our last set of film, we over-recorded this time to make sure that we have enough footage to be able to edit properly.

5/12/2016 - Today josh worked and a new set of special effects for the new scenes and I worked on the production diary. I will be editing the footage together after josh has finished the main special effects. Sam worked the behind the scenes and finding the footage the we can use to make a good behind the scenes post.

6/12/2016 - Today Josh worked on the first half of the opening scene, he was working on adding the plasma shots to the gun as he had already done the plasma launcher. I worked on editing an d uploading the video storyboard evaluation. Sam worked on risk assessments and made a prezi about it so that it is interesting to look at.

8/12/2016 - As a group today we sat down and reflected on what we have done and haven't done. Me and Sam were caught up to date wit how far Josh was with editing and Josh was told what Me and Sam had and hadn't done. We also talked about what we were planning to do.

12/12/2016 - In today's lesson Josh worked on editing the second half of the opening scene, he was editing a shield on my arm to reflect bullets that Sam shot at me. I worked on the Film poster whilst Sam worked on the marketing for the film.

14/12/2016 - Today Josh finished off the second half of the special effects for the film opening. Sam worked on making a post about audience and I finished of the poster and sent it to Sam so he could add it to the marketing post. 

16/12/2016 - Josh has finished the special effects for the film opening and is now working on adding diegetic sounds and the titles. Sam reworked some of the old post to update them of the new plot line. I worked on sending Josh the timings for the titles and the order of the people in the titles.

19/12/2016 - Josh finished off the titles and is now adding the last few diegetic sounds to the film opening. Sam was not in today so he couldn't update his blog. I worked o genre conventions of our film genre which I made a post about.

20/12/2016 - Josh finished the Final draft of the film opening and has rendered it. Sam worked on updating the blog and keeping up to date with the LAP chart. I re-updated the production diary form the last few days.

21/12/2016 - This is our last day before we breakup for the holidays. Because Josh has finished Editing we all worked on making sure we have every blog post we need. So we split up and worked on all the missing posts we had.

Flux Productions

This is my new institution logo that was made using after effects so that the text could be given moving effects. The idea of adding animation to the text was that when I thought of the word flux I made me think of  the flux capacitor from back to the future so we used a purple lighten beam around the text.

New Institutions

This is Josh's Insttiution Called 'Fire'
This Logo will appear at the beginning of our Film Opening. The Fire flashes on screen with a bright white glow then quickly diminishes into a flame-affect font displaying the title 'Fire'. There is a plain black background which makes the title stand out against it much more. The effect on the title also makes it look professional as well as being of a very high quality. Much like the other titles it was created in Adobe After Effects.

This is Sam's Institution Logo called 'Bloom':



The logo will appear at the beginning of our film opening and tells the audience what the institution is for the film.
The logo is good because it has a unique style to it, it fades on and off screen and is made up of a clear bold font in the centre of the screen. The title 'Bloom' is in a bright pink colour and has an 'electric' glow/effect to it, in which the text is animated. This draws attention to the title as it shows it is a professional logo institution as it is a moving image and is in high quality whilst also looking original.

This is Jamie's institution Logo called Flux:




Like the other institutions in our group, this was also made in Adobe After Affects. We decided to use a different effect to the one we used in the Fire Institution and use a royal purple colour as we thought it looked cool and stood out well against the black background.
