Possible Title 3

Possible Title 3

The third attempt at a movie title involved the prominence of the title as the main feature of the title. The styling was more of a western style which we believed would not suit the conventions of the action spy genre. Ultimately we liked the bold style of the writing but not the elements which cut into the words so we would have to conform to the expectations of our designated genre.

Our second attempt at a title mainly revolved around the idea that we would focus heavily on technological aspects of the trailer. This included the idea of a cyber battle or some sort of cyber attack to our supposed spy organisation through the use of a computer, phone or other such device. The end of the title was influenced by bitcoin; the online currency which was a primary idea for our trailer as an incentive to the bad guys. The title was going to dissolve into the many circles to help highlight the prominent role of technology in the trailer.

Production Company

Production Company

Triptic Films is the made up production company that we created for our AS production and we thought it was appropriate to use it again for our A2 production.
The image is of the houses of Parliament with the Big Ben clock tower at the end. I have made the image darker and almost black and white to suite the action genre as it is a well known location and the darker image could suggest it could be in danger which conforms to the action/thriller genre.

Sound Research

Sound Research

Music isn't the only copyright free sound we will need for our film; we will also need sound effects. Like the music, we want the sound effects to be subtle and not immediately noticeable.

The first sound effect we want is a quiet ambient noise that plays during the 'IFM Studios' image.This is simply to add sound to an otherwise needlessly silent part, and also makes it seem more professional.

Even though this year we have changed the logo of our production company to better suit the interests of the group we are still looking for some sort of background sound to make sure the opening to the trailer isn't silent. This is essential in a trailer as there needs to be constant sound whether or not that is music or other non diagetic sound such as the implementation of a sound such as a gunshot after the trailer has been filmed. This sort of sound is essential in the editing part of the trailer, we want the trailer to attract maximum attention and in order to do this we need there to be a constant running theme or sound.

Credits Research

Credits Research

We are looking to include these sort of end credits in our trailer, we want it to look professional like these trailers have but keeps the simplicity it needs as many people aren't really interested in who the film is made by

This end credit is very much what we are looking for, it is plain and simple and the black is perfect to not draw attention away from the rest of the credits, the white credits contradict the black background well in order to bring attention to the people who made the film.

The Godzilla trailer is less like what we want as the red background grabs the attention really well, the fact that the movie is to do with radioactivity helps the red to blend in really well, As for our film it is not about anything associated with the colour red and therefore we would look for something more plain

These credits are also like the one we are looking for, they are basic but yet the most important people involved are highlighted in bold,the positions of the most important people are also highlighted but are not as eye catching as the names are what can drag people in, for example the name of a director can draw an audience.

Production Targets

Your group has been on such a fantastic journey this year and your efforts are bearing fruit.  Make sure you are video blogging production choices and stages to evidence your progress - plus this will help you in the run up to the exam in order to be able to reflect on your technical choices.

Production Targets

Make sure your research and planning is as detailed as you are capable of - regularly be building on your analysis or informing your readers of your progress! Make sure that everything is filmed/refilmed as soon as possible for your group to work towards and beyond your target grades.  Titles and sound are the last stages of post production and you need to spend time and care to make sure you meet the Band Four levels for these skills areas.  You have spent some much time in production - let's work towards completion now!
