Title for our opening

Today we finally decided the name of our opening scene.
We made a questionnaire in previous posts that helped us a lot with people's feedback.
The ideas came in our minds thinking in what the movie is about and how is the name going to attract the audience by making them have a little idea. After researching our target audience we know what kind of audience we want to attract which are mostly teenagers. This is a good thing that influenced the name of our film.
The final name is going to be called ''FALLING APART'' which goes with the plot of the film because as you already know if you followed our idea for the opening scene its more of a question of what is going to happen in the movie without watching the movie , which makes the audience more attracted. There are many reasons why we wanted to choose this title, It gives a dramatic impression, it also gives a impression of change , change to bad , like our main character in the opening.The word ''FALLING'' already indicates pain and the word ''APPART'' indicates isolated or marginality that has a lot to do with the use of dangerous drugs that teenagers are very easily exposed to. We also liked the title ''THE CONSEQUENCES'' which is one of the names that we were thinking to choose. This name gives an idea of following which is related to drugs and the girl that is taking it. Being a teenager is related as well because is less able to control themselves and more able to follow another people of their age that are not doing any good. But we still think that the title that we already chose is less clear with the idea of consumption of drugs in the movie but it has a lot to do with it and the dramatic story of a teenager that gets very affected.

I hope you will like the name that we chose , I will also like to thank everyone for their feedback.

storyboard 2

Today me and Veronika finished the second storyboard which is the one for the first scene of the opening scene , we were not sure what shots to add to the second part of the opening , but today we had a long discussion of what shots and editing will be nice to attract our audience, so that is why we took that long , the next step is filming which I am looking forward for the next week. The storyboard includes the girl walking in the street after she is coming from some party , she doesn't look good , something is going on with the girl , she passed the limits in the party.

this is the picture that Veronika took of the storyboard :

I think the details of the storyboard are very difficult to see in this picture so I will try to upload another picture that shows better the details.

editing part 2

Today we decided to add the sound and also edit some of the bits that we did not finish .

Veronika and me looked at what was not good and she changed it into something that was better. We  needed to change the colours and make them brighter because the clips still do not look bright enough , so Veronika changed them and made them brighter , she also experimented some other bits of the editor to find something that may be useful for us.

this is one example of how she changed the colours of the shot into something brighter.
 We done it because this will bring more positive effects to the audience.

this is a picture of a cross-dissolve effect that we decided to use to transmit a faster effect that flows and shows many shots in a shorter time. 

My part was the sound , while Veronika was editing , I was making a sound that will go with the scenes. I used Logic pro to create this.
When I showed the sound to veronika she liked it so we gave it a try , I added the sound to premier pro and we added it with the clips. We liked it but we still need to make some improvements for example when we want to cut the sound I would not like as a audience to cut it straight away when the scene is changing , is much better if I disolve it somehow or I make it from louder to more quite so we don't cut it straight away. I also want to add that I am looking for a sound that will go with the first scene of the opening scene which has to be very dramatic.

editing part 1

Today me and Veronika started the editing , we do not want to waist any time waiting for the next day of filming so we edit what we already have so we can know that the shots are good filmed and when we add them together transmit a feeling of continuity. Me and Veronika decided that I am the one who films and we both edit , but she will take more part in the editing , she added the shots together and we both looked at the editing that we can add , like different colours , brightness , contrast she was the one that added everything and I was just giving my opinion, She will experiment that the next day of editing we now have to concentrate in to adding the shots together and look if any clip is not good , or if we have to re film it .

After that we decided to add at the end of each shot a dissolves , in my opinion it looks very nice , because what we want to transmit is a moment where the girl is getting ready , but in like her own world , we planning to add sound during all this shots to emphasis the difference between the first scene in which everything will be very grey dark and sad , and the bright which is the one that we filmed and edited , not completed yet.

we still need to improve some of the shots and we also need to add the sound , which will be me who will add it , and Veronica will hep me to choose the right one.

I would like to show you a clip that i was practicing with , before we started editing , in which I  played with some brightness and contrast , and different colour to make it brighter so we know how would our scene look like .
In my opinion is too bright so we need to reduce it , and the contrast as well. I also played with the sound , I wanted to add the sound and at the same time hear my voice at the background which is what we are planning to do in the first scene of our opening scene.

First day of filming

Our second part of the opening is filmed !!! 

It was a very hard day but the filing was successfully done. I filmed most of it because Veronika is the one that acts in the opening scene , she helped me with the ideas and some of the shots , giving me advices.

We arrived in our friends house and we straight away started. I fixed the camera and left everything ready to film while Veronika was getting ready to act. Our friend is the one who we chose to act in our video as the girl's best friend , she was very nice providing us food and drinks while we were filming.

We had some problems with the space of the room which did not really allowed us to film from different angles so we have different perspectives to make it more real, but we made the impossible. We actually done some sport changing the tripod in different sizes and climbing to the bed , on chairs that were not allowing us to be comfortable filming. We had to repeat some of the shots to make the lights similar even though was kind difficult but that was not a big problem knowing that we can change it with the editor, we also had to repeat some of them because of the acting that was not realistic sometimes , we were also lucky because the girl had a computer where we could of check if the scenes were shacking so we do not have to repeat the filming again because that would mean film everything again and we would of spent a day with no worth.It was very helpful to have the storyboard and the script with us , which made the filming easier. 

After 3 hours of filming we finished. 

post filming

Hey there ! 

Now that we are finished with the research , script , storyboard , target audience and the rest of the planning we are ready to start planning and have everything ready for the filming.

We met up at Marble arch station to go to the shops and buy everything we needed to make the mice-en-scene perfect. We bought a dress and a red lipstick to start with and during the day we were planning how , where and when to start filming.

Before that day we already decided to go to our friend's house because of her room to start filming the last part of the opening scene because it is easier for us to have that part done. Her room is pink and very girly so thats why we thought would be perfect for the scene.

I hope everything is going to be okay and we do not have any problems with the camera like other times happened. We will let you know how the filming was the day after tomorrow.

Location for the second part of the opening scene

As you already know we want to start filming the second part of our opening .

The first part is more difficult because is outside and it has to be in the dark and no people so we can film some ideas that we have more realistic. The second part is in a room so the only thing that we had to do is find a ideal room because it will contrast the mood of the different places , it will also provide information , with the mice-en-scene will introduce the audience to a new location changing time as well , it will also give some information of the protagonist. 

It must show that is a girl´s teenager room , so stereotypically it has to be pink and with a lot of girly things like perfumes, pictures , clothes and that because it has to identify our main character, this mice-en-scene will directly give to the audience an idea of her personality (easy going , cares about others thinks , fashionable ...etc) The reason why we want this kind of girl is because very easily we can compare her with other teenagers that cares a lot about what fashionable people think and they do not care how bad the effects are going to produce to them.

The room that we want is like the picture showed.

Is easier for us to transmit like this to the audience the age of the characters and the personality

Today we been asking many of our girl friends for a location with this characteristics , one of our friends has a room like that and offered to help us. We will visit it today to see what more things we have to buy or get to have a good mice-en-scene.

 

actors

This is the day that we decided what actors are we using for our opening.
It was very hard to decide from all the actors that came in the auditions day , all of them were very good and I appreciate the effort that everyone had. From the very beginning we knew that Veronika my colleague is going to be the main character which is the teenager girl , she is a very good actor and I am sure that she will know how to act to transmit the feeling that we want for the audience.
We had to choose a rapist, which is going to appear in our first part of the opening scene, so we chose a tall , skinny , and dark hair guy to follow the stereotype of a rapist in many movies.

here are some example of the characteristics of a rapist





http://www.thelmagazine.com/TheMeasure/archives/2012/06/11/ridley-scotts-stainless-style-prometheus-and-that-fslc-retrospective

we also had to choose the ´´best friend´´ of the teenager , the one that will influence her , which is very commun in movies like this and in real like for teenagers to be carried away for other of their age , more influential best friends. So we chose a beatufil teenager girl with a very  impulsive personality.

I will like to thank everyone for coming to the auditions, I hope everyone had a good time.

The girl jumps on the bed next to her friend and they both look at the drugs (excited)

GIRL
We are gonna have so much fun!

storyboard

hey there !

We will first add some pictures of the second part of the storyboard because it is easier for us to start filming that scene first and we know already what we want. This part of the opening is easier to film because of the location which is in a room , the light very difficult change and we have more time to repeat and do the same shots over and over again until we find the perfect one , but the first scene has to be done when is dark and light in a place outside and because of the weather and time the light change and it also may be raining so we have to plan it very carefully before we start filming that scene.

It is very difficult to see or read what the storyboard says but the images are more clearly 

In the first scene we see a close-up to some eyes putting make up , non-diagetic sound at the background (quite happy)
editing: cross-dissolve transition to the next scene.
The second scene are the lips-- close up in the lips putting make up the same sound and same editing to cut to the next scene. the scenes changes when the music stops and shows that she is ready. mid-shot to the teenager saying Í am ready cut to the next shot which shows a mid-long shot of the girl saying ´´so.. How do I look´´, Cut to the next shot , mid-shot of the other teenager saying ´´omg you look stunning´´ (this language shows a teenager type of language) ,´´ cut to mid-shot of the main character saying . you like it ? , cut to mid-shot , ´´ yes , but ... we still don´t have the thing , you know ... the thing.
cut to mid-shot ( showing a equal conversation) , ´oh don´t worry i took care of it , cut , close-up to her hand opening a desk and getting something , cut to a different shot . mid-long shot of both girls in the bed very happy , and the main character saying ´´ omg we gonna have so much fun , cut and close-up to some pills in her hand.

auditions

hello everyone !! 

We had a very funny moment today in the auditions for our production.
It was very hard for us to choose between the actors because all of them were very good.
we chose the perfect guy to be the ''baddie'' but between the girls we already knew that Veronika was the perfect one to do this performance because she has good acting skills and she knows perfectly how she has to behave to make it more sentimental and dramatic at the moment of transmiting it to the audience. 

Here are some of the pictures that we took during the auditions :

knowing that we are going to use Veronika as our main character she was the one acting and I was the one analysing the actor that came for the auditions for the role of rapist. The actor that we see in the picture was very good in his role, I liked the way he took Veronika behind her back very quiet , because we won´t show someone trying to rape her we will just show how someone holds her behind her back and we want to give this impression to the audience. His face expressions were too exaggerated and I think he was too excited . I will have to discuss  this with my colleague Veronika too.

In the next picture we see a black actor which stereotypically will be more real for the audience. He was very good acting and I liked his face expressions , what I did not like was the way that he was holding her , it was not too realistic. I will discuss with my colleague Veronika to see if she liked it

• We had another 2 actors that they did not accept appearing in pictures but I will give you some information about them . They both were white-other , quite tall , one of them was very skinny , tall , black hair and his acting was very professional , playing his role very serious and natural. The other was good as well I liked the way he was playing his role but he was not too serious for this opening scene and clearly ene though I liked his acting we do not need distractions.

And finally , this is the actress that we definitely going to use for our main production as her best friend , Veronika wanted to choose the actress for this role because she knows better what kind of best friend she would like and will feel confortable with , I liked her as well because she has the personality that we wanted from the beginning. So in the same auditions day we told her that she was the one that we chose . 

I liked her reaction she seemed very enthusiastic.

research on storyboard and script

today I decided to research on storyboard because me and Veronika decided that would be better if I make the storyboard due to she does not like to draw , and she will make the script. Veronika finished her script so it is my turn to make the storyboard and I am a bit confused so I made some research on this topic and i found this pages that were very helpful for me.

http://www.sotherden.com/video101/storyboard.htm -- This page explained to me what a storyboard is and how to make it , but I still need some good examples of storyboards that are already made so I can have a better clue.

I found this pictures which are examples of storyboards

which clearly shows me a simple example of how to start my storyboard. on top is the number of the scene , after I have to draw and also a idea that i had is to write on the drawings if there is any dialogue. down the drawings i write the editing , mice-en-scene , camera shots , sound .I also had an idea of adding the time that each shot is going to take.

I was also searching in some good scripts , this is the one that i found and i really like , I will show it to my friend Veronika to see if she likes it so we can use it as an example for our script because we dont like how the one that we already have looks at the moment. I like it because is very simple and clear , so the actors can easily understand it.

PRODUCTIONS NAME

Hello everyone

We finally made a decision of how we want our production to be called . We had the idea of calling it unique from our first meeting when we talked about nearly everything but we weren't sure that the name would go with our idea. 

From the very beginning we wanted to do a unique production to impress the audience. We chose the colour blue in the word ''unique'' because it transmits a good feeling of  inspiration, sincerity and spirituality and with the font that we chose transmits more a feeling of unique , the word productions it is simpler because it has to highlight the word unique , that is the other reason that the color of the word doesn't stand out. 

names that we might use for our opening scene

HELLO EVERYONE !! IS TIME TO CHOOSE OUR TITLES AND WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE NOW THAT WE KNOW HOW THIS 2 MINUTES INTRODUCTION IS GOING TO BE.

The names that we picked are :

-
-The consequences - 
things that you have to let go of for example free time when it come to studies and sacrifices that are made in order for success to happen or punishment for bad behaviour.
-Falling apart 
The name transmits a negative feeling that makes the audience understand before watching the movie that action and drama are going to appear.

-the beginning of an addiction 
This name was chosen because we thought that directly indicates what the movie is going to be about , which is drugs. But we think that transmits too much of what the movie is about , sometimes is good to transmit intrigue.

-The night
In my opinion this name is very simple and it also indicates a bit of clue of what the movie is like , but we think that this movie for a drama movie is not too indicated , including that it can be confused with a horror genre.

- the excitement of a wider imagination
This name is one of my favourites names , is quite long but it gives intrigue and also a bit of the genre of the movie , which is drama. It also goes very good with the opening which at the beggining taking drugs is very excited even knowing that is not doing any good , which all the people know.


I hope you like the names that we chose , if you do not like any feel free to give us any idea or new names . 
have a good day thank you.

target audience

Hi there !

1-----I been researching on my target audience using internet and asking people that I know.

2-----I also looked at some film examples for my target audience 

3-----After that I found out what my audience want and their preferences for my introduction.

First I had to research what age would be the prefect age for young people to watch this movie so we don't have any problem like censorship because we actually show drugs and the bad effects of it, so legally 15 is the age that allow teenagers to watch this movies

this is the evidence that proves that :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_rating_system#United_Kingdom  

For more clarifications

 Suitable only for 15 years and older. Nobody younger than 15 may see a '15' film in a cinema. Nobody younger than 15 may rent or buy a '15' rated video (these films may contain offensive or emotionally harrowing scenes or strong language and violence).

I also been asking different people with different ages to know their opinion about our idea and how excited they were about this kind of movie. After this research I realiced that not many people over 30 were that excited about this idea , which means that this kind of movie is not particullary for people over 25. This means that my target audience age would be from 15 to 25 years old.

The other part that is very important is the social class of our target audience.
Teenagers are playing a important role in this introduction because is a message that we are trying to transmit to them showing how bad are drugs and what can it do in just one night to a teenager person. We chose a teenager to play the main role because is a vulnerable age where they can easily get addicted to it. The social class can be middle class and possibly also working class because of the vocabulary and mise-en scene which shows a middle class girl going out in a party. It can also be for middle-class adult people.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7g3g7e2A1Y    

This is an example of a teenagers movie which is about drugs and changes , This movie is more for teenagers to give them a clear idea of what happends if you go into a wider world of drugs and the consequences after this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyfX9UHyxgY

This is another but this time is using a male teenager as an example , and the consequences are worse because of the drugs that he is using strong like heroin, He is also a thirteen yars old boy that ends up very bad , is another example to show how vulnerable this age can be.

Asking my friends I could of have a better idea of what they like and how to transmit it , they gave me different ideas that were a bit helpful even though we already had an idea of what we want to do.

The target audience is for 15 to 25 years old persons , mostly middle class and some working class. equal gender male and female.

Our target audience could be BC1C2 which is middle class, lower middle class and skilled working class.

Drugs and their effects

Me and my colegue Veronika are still deciding what drugs should we use , so I made my own research to find out their effects so we can know which one goes better with the effects that we want to transmit to the audience.

We are not planning to use strong drugs like heroin , because in our opinion this drug is for people that are already addicted with less percentage of saving themselfs , but we want to use something that teenagers are easily tented to use like lsd, cocaine , mdma. We really want to show how bad can it be for a girl to use drugs and after go home alone.

I will put up all the effects of each drugs that I think we should use , and you are more than welcome to give us some feedback with your opinion :)

Negatives effects of Cocaine:

irritability

paranoia

restlessness

anxiety

dilated pupils

high levels of energy and activity

excited, exuberant speech and more other negative effects that could be death.

Negative effects of LSD:

* anxiety

* tension, jaw tension

* increased perspiration

* difficulty regulating body temperature

* nausea

* dizziness, confusion

* insomnia

* megalomania

* over-awareness & over-sensitization to music and noise

* paranoia, fear, and panic

* unwanted and overwhelming feelings

* unwanted life-changing spiritual experiences

* flashbacks

Negative effects of MDMA:

(negative side effects increase with higher doses and frequent use)

# inappropriate and/or unintended emotional bonding

# anxiety or paranoia (less common than opposite)

# agitation (less common than opposite)

# tendency to say things you might feel uncomfortable about later

# mild to extreme jaw clenching (trisma), tongue and cheek chewing, and teeth grinding (bruxia)

and other effects that could be death.

 

We have decided to use extacis as our final drug mixed with alcohol this will produce

Extreme Aches
-Jaw Ache
-Damage to Teeth
-Tiredness
-Blisters from dancing to much
-Clenching of the jaw
-"guerning" grinding the jaw, chewing your cheeks, tongue and smashing your teeth together.
-Dehydration

We want to use this drug and another , that means that she will mix and she will have allusinations. We want to show that to the audience through our editing.

feedback preliminary task

Today all the class decided to look at all the preliminaries and give them a feedback. In my opinion that was very helpful because like this we can have many opinions of what we have not done good and why , there is always some mistakes that most of the times we do not see and as a audience my class were very helpful .
Abut other preliminaries I tried to be very realistic , everyone accepted the bad a the good news even though sometimes we had some arguments because we were not agree , but at the end of the hour we all were agree with what was not good and what should be changing.
I really enjoyed today , I would also like to thank everyone for their feedback and I will take all their advices as something useful .

Final idea

Hey there !

After long meetings and many different ideas we decided to carry on with the idea of showing what drugs do to people. At the beginning we had different ideas of how to show this to the audience , by using a girl that was addicted to drugs , but, we decided to change this and make it simpler by using a girl who is not addicted to drugs but we planning to show how it all starts by showing the girl going out for one night and what is happening to her after that long night back to her house , which is how we gonna start the movie , beginning with peaces of the end to make the audience curious and then go back to how it all started by showing the girl and her friends getting ready before the party.

This is our actual idea including the shots we are planning to use:

Long establishing shot of London to identify the location and set the scene. Heavy breathing on the background which is to interest the audience and make them pay attention.
Variety of different shots of a girl walking - Long shot behind her, cutting to middle shot, a pan beside her. A few blurry POV shots to show how confused and lost she is. Close ups on parts of her body (ripped tights, messed up make up all over her face, her feet - wearing no shoes). We won't actually show her face in a close up in the first a few seconds, that would make the audience want to find out who she is and what's happened to her.
On the background there will be a voice which is going to be her talking to the audience, as if she is hearing her feelings. Have you ever thought that you would end up like this when all you expected was the best of the world. You never imagined the world changing you into something that took away your innocence, happiness, pureness.
By doing this we want to show how everything changes when you grow up and as we've said before the use of the dramatic voice and sound on the background is very significant to our piece.
The mice-en-scene is goin to be very dark to set the atmosphere and the mood of the scene.
While this is happening we are going to show a long shot of the girl trying to stay on her feet holding on to the wall but she falls down and we see a guy coming behind her. After that we are gonna show a close up of her face how the guy is trying to silence her by putting his hand over her mouth. We see her facial expression and the shot is gonna dissolve into another shot which is going to change the scene and that way we are gonna start the actual beginning of the movie.

The mice-en-scene changes completely with a happy song on the background and bright colours to highlight to the audience that the scene is different and make them realise that this is the beginnig before she took the drugs.
We are gonna start with close ups of the girl putting make up - her lips, her eyes, putting earings on, the dress and her heels. After that the happy song stops, over the shoulder shot of the girl turning around saying: So, how do I look? and this will bring the audience to reality and what's actually happening in the scene. Mid shot of her friends sitting on the bed putting make up as well. The last shot is going to be a close up shot of her taking the drugs from her cupboard and then a mid shot of her saying: ' We are ready to go?'.

my own idea

hey there !
I had another idea for the meeting

My idea is to use a girl , which girls are more sensible and is more dramatic when something bad happens to them if we stereotype.  

The16's years old girl is having hard moments at school , at her house and with her own friends.
The girl is very sensible and she is not confident and mentally strong to handle the problems that are going on in her life. The worse part of this story is when she resorted to drugs as a refuge , as a teenager   
her knowledge is not enough to know how bad she is going to end up. 
After a time she realises that she is not good , is it too late ? , 
i would like to show this using the idea of starting with the end of the movie so we can show the emotions of a drama movie , to differentiate this would be nice to stop at the right time to attract the audience to want to carry on watching the production. I would like to transmit this by using different scenes how did she end up , how did it start but not completed , which in 2 minutes is enough to show it.

preliminary task . VIDEO

This is our preliminary task , I think we have to improve many things as for example the sound that was not the correct one for the preliminary.
But now that we see the mistakes is much easier to work out and improve.

IDEAS: Film opening

 Hello everyone !

This are some of the ideas that I have for our film opening.

 

 

I had the idea to make this production unique, so that’s why me and my colleague veronica Pavlova called our production company ‘’UNIQUE PRODUCTIONS’’.

My own idea:

·         Flashback: I thought that would be very nice to start with the end of the movie but not finishing the movie just to start giving the audience the tension and intrigue so they want to carry on watching the movie, is also a very good idea to start like this so we show from the beginning of the movie that our genre is drama and show all the emotions of the girl

 

 

·         Good show of emotions: It is very important for a drama movie to show and transmit to the audience all the feelings that the characters have. The camera shots and effects are playing a very important role. I thought that if we add some slow motion effects with many close ups at important scenes we will transmit to the audience what is going on in a better way.

FROM HAPPINESS

TO A SAD LIFE.

·         Sound: The sound in my opinion at the beginning of our introduction has to go with the camera work plus the plot. It is very important to attach the audience in a very emotional way given the case that we are planning to start with the end of the movie, so is necessary to make this understand to the audience, I was thinking to change the sound when the scene changes from the end to the beginning to show that we are actually starting with the end, so I was thinking that the song must change to show the different stages of the girl’s life.

 ---------http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Am4cHMBKM&safe=active --- This is an example of a sad song that we can use to transmit emotions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7HmzwI67ec&feature=related&safe=active-----this is an example of a happy song that we can use when we change scene to show the different changes of emotions that the songs transmit.

·         The point of view of the girl blurry would make the audience see how she is viewing everything in a very confusing way.

 

 

 

My idea is to use a girl as the main character and show her problems in a very smart way of filming. The whole idea is to transmit to the audience her feelings and problems. I have been discussing some ideas with my colleague Veronika and we both decided to use DRUGS as the main problem of this girl, which is a teenager, more vulnerable to get addicted to drugs. It is very important to show her thoughts but not why she is addicted because this is an idea to impress the audience and make them be intrigued about the story and why of her addiction and how did everything started. I was thinking to start the movie with a mid-establishing shot of her closing the door in a very brutal way and her shouting at her mother. This shows problems, after camera follows her in the bathroom, camera editing changes everything slows down and we see her taking drugs.
