Filming Location and Idea

Eventually we decided on a location and an idea;

The location was outside the Grafton Center in Cambridge city center. It had several Pro's and Con's.
Pro:
- Lighting, most parts of the film where perfectly placed, by the immediate environment.
- Industrial environment, raises questions like "What could be going on in a city that's so abnormal".
- Secluded.
- Good variety and contrast of large and small areas.

Cons:
- Lighting, at some points in the footage we found that scenes were too dark to make out, rendering those shots useless. Also on some of the shots there are artificial lights that are too bright.
- Public area, some of the shots proved very hard to get because the general public/ the general public's vehicles kept getting in the shot, also the fact that there is a chinese takeaway or a design company logo in some shots removes some element of mystery and suspense from those shots.

Location ideas

We found out that around Long Road sixth form, there is a serious lack of locations. So we will probably have to film elsewhere. At first we were trying to compromise our idea ideas for the locations we found, but the compromising was too much, so we'll have to record somewhere else.
Here are some locations that we found today:

Our Production logo

T2-59 PRODUCTION LOGO from SATMEDIASTUDIES on Vimeo.

After a long period of time working on Photoshop, and with a large amount pointers from the group Jace created this Brilliant Logo in which the sprockets / gears are going to rotate and the bright yellow light shall flicker like an original camera this is quite a tasking idea we have realised, with when we imported the images into Final Cut we realised if the Cogs wouldn't rotate in the correct way unless the point of rotation was centralized, if it wasn't the entire cog would just move in a circle without spinning, so further editing on photo shop corrected this.

Having finished putting the actual idea of the camera, we needed a sound track which was quite specific towards the camera because if it didn't fit the image it would seem out of place, having searched the internet for some non copyrighted sounds only found that we would have to pay an extortionet price for a 20 second clip and then Steve produced these CD's for us there were such a large amount of tracks for us to sift through but on the last CD we found the ideal track,

Initial Ideas - storyboard

IDEA ONE :



From the first time we started discussing our ideas about a thriller Sass came up with the style of the Blair Witch Project, the idea suited this because of the tension building, these photo's illustrate the idea of our film,
Having a group of people going camping having a jolly good time then it possibly going all wrong and seeing what happens
This idea would have quite a lot of problems with it, all the materials needed, where could we camp ? and a few other trivial things

This film idea is called Day Break.

^^^
A link to the inspiration but it seems looking back at this it is quite a similar idea to the original, this will have to be changed if we roll with this idea.

IDEA TWO:

Essentially this idea is quite similar to the first idea, but instead of going camping its about a group going to a large city like London, and Disaster happens. The entire video is filmed like the first idea, in first person, through an in scene camera. The group are just testing out the new camera in London for the day, then accidentally catch something they shouldn't on tape; a murder. The full film would feature a creepy and interesting journey, to try and find someone that will help them, the murderer is coming.

IDEA THREE:



This idea has elements of the blair witch project in it but ultimately steers away from horror and the unseen menace. it begins with shots of the woods and the campsite in the morning after the attack has happened and moves on to showing a character"s corpse being dragged through the forest to a location where the other corpses are arranged in a formation around a stump. there is a video camera on the stump. the lengths of some of the shots can be varied.






Idea 4:

The main idea of this was to get away from the idea of Blair Witch, not that it was a bad idea but because i felt we should have a selection of ideas.

At the beginning we have an establishing shot of a group of soldiers running through an area with packedges [main idea was it was a corridor], and one of them drops one of the capsules they were ment to be 'transporting'.

The soldier who dropped his capsule goes to pick up the capsule but the other two don't realises this and run off ahead.

While picking up the capsule the soldier gets attacked by a 'mutant' type creater monster.

We'll have a POV [Point Of View] shot of the creature targeting the soldier so that we can build up the suspense of the situation.

The creature itself doesn't matter so much as to how it attacks, were having the monster being seen for literally only a second in shot. so its sudden and unexpected.

The other two are going to be attacked but not in the same way but with the view of their faces reaction. All in the POV of the creature

The final scene is the capsule rolling away being illuminated by the gun fire.

Ideas for Logo

We are currently in the making of our logo, our idea is that it looks like a big camera, one of the older ones. Instead of the reel that's usually in them, this one has cogs and nuts.

we Have Evaluated some other Production logo's and we started off with DreamWorks.



We found out that The originality of the Logo was key to its success, the more original and eye catching it is the better, Dream Works uses a very limited colour range which compliment each other and dont move your attention to other area's of the screen they dont want you to.


Then underneath we have the out production name:

"Sprockets"

Here is some pictures of what is included in the logo:










Also we decided to make a soundtrack to recap for Garage Band, this was called Murder By Numbers.


the idea we to learn how to make a soundtrack that sounded intimidating and with low tones, this emphasis the dark nature within the sound clip.
