Production Diary




Production Diary

11/11/2014 - Today we got ready our film ideas so they were ready to present for Thursdays lesson to the rest of the group. We all created PowerPoint's as this was the most suitable format. On our presentations we collected different inspirations and ideas and talked about what we would include in our opening scene.


13/11/2014 - Today we pitched our different film ideas to each other to decide what film idea we were going to go with. Jack pitched a drama film to do with a man being convicted of a murder and the film was to ponder on if he committed the murder or not. Tom's idea was a teen drama evolved around drugs and crime which he gained his influences from Noel Clarke's Kidulthood and Adulthood. Then the final idea came from Connor which was a horror which based around a couple who are not able to have children. From this the couple went to take other children to be theirs. We agreed finally that Connor's idea was the best and we decided to go for that for our concept.

14/11/2014 - Today not in our groups we started to do our Title Tasks. This involved watching many different clips and reviewing them. This included a history of film openings and a interview with a man who is very big in the film industry. Our final task was to take screenshots from three film openings and annotate them for every title that appeared such as actors and production companies.

17/11/2014 - Today we adapted the film concept and slightly changed the main story of the film. We took the concept away from the couple who were not able to have children and changed it too a boy who went missing on a winter evening in a park. We then went on too reviewing different film openings as a group to gain inspiration from a number of different films. (In the Picture we reviewed the opening of Casino Royale)




18/11/2014 - Today Connor was creating our marketing ideas to promote our film in a PowerPoint presentation which you can see him doing below. In the presentation he included how he would advertise our film and what he would do to promote it in the best way. Meanwhile Tom looking at our target audience which he was doing by reviewing films in our category and our style of film and comparing them with what audience the films were most popular with.
