Production logo

Today we have been creating our production logo, we wanted this to be fun light hearted and different from others we have seen with a homemade quality. We came up with the idea of 'Ginger Nut Productions' and we could use ginger bread men and ice them up to look like each one of us within the group.
We really liked this idea as it was something we had not seen before and we thought this was creative and fun to go with our genre of romantic comedies.

We decided to us ginger nuts and ice them with 'ginger nuts' wrote on them.
So we went out shopping and started creating our production title.

This is the picture that we created and we really liked it. We were happy enough with this to upload this into the computer and to start to edit it with Photoshop were able to more the letters and ginger bread men around to create a more even spaced logo.

Photoshop was really useful as we could use the layers within it to create a full picture.
We individually saved these layers so when we uploaded them onto moviemaker it would be easier to animate our production logo.

Once we had saved all the individual layers we were able to create our opening titles on moviemaker.

We are really happy with our production logo and think it will stand out from the rest it is homemade and original.

Editing Update.

After sifting through all our footage (we got so much of it!) we are finally really getting on with some of the editing and it seems to all be going really well, we are looking at music to go with our final piece and have asked a friend to record some for us which will hopefully work really well with our piece.

Mise-en-scene

Editing Update.

Just a quick update. Editing seems to be going really well we uploaded all the videos from over the weekend.  We are currently just sifting through the videos to get the best shots and scenes so we can use them for our final two minutes we are really pleased with this things we have got currently and we don’t think we have to re-shoot anything which we are all really pleased about.

Filming Update.

Today we will be filming the scenes with Jay and Lucy hopefully after we have shot this all it will be all of the footage we need. We are worried about the weather and it being too windy as all of this shoot is outside I will be doing the audio so hopefully the sound quality is good enough.

Filming Update

It is the second day of shooting today and I will be on my own filming the establishing shots up in the crane. This is because other people aren’t available and the crane is only available for one day. I will hopefully cope well with doing the entire camera on my own as I am unusually not overly confident using it. I will be updating the group on the shots I get and showing it to them as soon as possible.

BBFC.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non-governmental organisation, funded by the film industry and responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and some video games.

 

 

They award films the following certificates: ( See table below)  

Violence	Little to No Violence
Language	Moderate, Mild Language not dwelled upon
Sex/Nudity	Mild References to Sex and Nudity
Themes	Romance, humour, conflict.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based on the table above we award out film ‘I Can Explain ‘an age rating of 12. We don’t feel that any of the content has bad context or Tone and impact on our Target audience. This rating is quite common in Rom Com films and since the content of our film is very similar to other Rom Com's we decided to use a 12 as our rating also considering all of the above information and the main issues to consider in a BBFC rating.

This age rating does not affect our target audience as they will be allowed to still watch our movie as our Primary target audience will be Females between the ages of 12-35 our secondary Target audience are females over the age of 35 so yet again our secondary target audience will not be affeced by the age Rating.

Storyboards on Prezi


This is Story Board Two. This will be helpful to take with us as we go out filming our 2 minute film opening as we will be able to look at what shot we need to take on set. This will also help our Actors as they will be able to refer to this and help communicate our ideas to them.

Editing.

As we did our first bit of filming yesterday we have started our editing process we will all be helping with what we want to make the final cut and have our input on what shots we like but four heads around one computer editing is going to be a lot so the people that enjoy editing can have more of an opportunity to do some (Jess, Vicky, Kim)  whereas the people who don’t really enjoy it as much can do some of the other tasks that are essential within the group. (me)  However we have decided if there are any major changes to the piece of work everyone will gather and we will make the decision together.

Filming Day One

Our first shoot will be taking place today we are hopefully shooting the entire scene with Bridget and Jonathan. Unfortunately I am unviable to be there shooting today, but my group will update me on what happens and events. I will also obviously be looking at the footage they managed to get. So hopefully everything goes well.
