Shooting Schedule And Diary


Date of Film Shooting: December 2nd 2009
Time: 6:00am – 9:00am

As my film was going to be on estates I decided to take my dad along in his taxi for safety and easy way to transport my camera tripod and other stuff. ¬

We got to my first location at 6:20 am but I didn’t expect it to still be dark and we waited till 7:00 to shoot my first shot. At 7:00 the lighting was enough to start filming and I did so.

The filming went well accept as time passed my lighting changed in my shots drastically and the reasons I had planned to shoot my films in the morning is because I knew it would be a safe time to do so in dangerous areas and would not bother the public. My plan the whole time was to make sure I could do this in a safe way. As it could be a dangerous thing to do.

I had planned to shoot at one estate as I see a park on a google shot but when I arrived there the parked had been removed so I went to another estate to get my park shot.

Overall I feel I needed a bit of help to get certain shots but feel I got satisfactory results on my shots I had taken.

Revolver entertainment

Most notably the company has released; French noir thriller 13 Tzameti, Werner Herzog's award-winning Grizzly Man, urban drama Kidulthood, I chose this company to distribute my film as they are Uk based and are new to the industry and i feel as my film is a small budget british social realism film. And is in the style of kidulthood i feel this was a good choice and suits my film the Estate.

SOCIAL REALISM , BRITISH FILM AND DIRECTORS

Social realism I feel is the best genre and is a genre that we use most of all to make British films. It has shown us to ourselves, pushing the boundaries in the effort to put the experiences of real Britons on the screen, and showing our ideas of what British people in certain areas, class and race experience in their life times. And create all sorts of emotion to the viewer. While our cinema has experienced all the effects and excitement of Hollywood films, realism has been Britain's richest gift to world cinema

British film isn’t just a genre. British film shows more then just a storey, it teaches us about awareness, religious faith, and history it shows us love and romance rich and poor personalities and prejudice every thing to do with real life can be shown in a social realist film.

Here are some directors who create outstanding social realist films:

Ken loach 17 June 1936 He made his feature debut Poor Cow (1967) the following year, and with Kes (1970), he produced what is now acclaimed as one of the finest films ever made in Britain. However, the following two decades saw his career in the doldrums with his films poorly distributed (despite the obvious quality of work such as The Gamekeeper (1968) (TV) and Looks and Smiles (1981)) and his TV work in some cases never




Ken loach






















Mike Leigh, OBE born 20 February 1943 is an English writer and director of film and theatre. He studied theatre at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and did his early acting with the Royal Shakespeare Company[citation needed]. He began as a theatre director and playwright in the 1960s. In the 1970s he made the transition to television plays, many of which were characterized by a gritty "kitchen sink realism" style. Some of his well-known films include Life is Sweet (1990), the comedy-drama Career Girls (1997) the Gilbert and Sullivan biography Topsy Turvy (1999), and the bleak working-class drama All or Nothing (2002). His most notable works are arguably Naked (1993) for which he won the Best Director Award at Cannes,[1] the BAFTA-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Palme d'Or winner Secrets & Lies (1996) and Vera Drake (2004).

HERE IS A FEW OF MY FIRST OFF SPRING IDEAS WHEN WE WHERE PLANNING TO CREATE OUR OWN TITLE SEQUENCE WHEN I CHOSE TO DO BRITISH FIL

MY INSPIRATIONS THAT HELPED ME

THIS IS THE TITLE SEQUENCE FOR THIS IS ENGLAND I RESPONDED TO THIS TITLE SEQUENCE BY TAKING THE DRIVE BY CAMERA SHOT AND USING IT IN MY TITLE SEQUENCE.

This Title Sequence is purposely made to set the atmosphere by the style of music which is played. The title sequence is made up mostly by short films from key events such as the jubilee clip it also shows old retro games in the british history to set the style,mood of the generation it is trying to create. and mixes with the characters and sets of his film. i feel the title sequence really works and makes me wanna watch the rest of the film. The mise en scene is perfect and makes the whole sequence believable.

SE7 EN OPENING CREDITS

This is the opening credits of Se7 en which i looked at. To get ideas from.

This title sequence is a mysterious style way to introduce a film it dont introduce characters or locations. Just gives the film a darker side and creates enigma and makes you wanna see more.

codes and conventions of a title sequence

Codes and conventions of title sequence

A title sequence is the start of the film or television programs, which aims to present their title, key production and cast members, or both, by mixing visuals and sound to it. The title sequence is a way to try and hook the viewer to their film in the space of a few minutes. It aims to set the genre of the film and introduce the main characters to you in some cases the titles sequence is used to create enigma to get audience-asking questions.

A title sequence must have these major elements to be a titles sequence:

• Theme music or a soundtrack that sets the mood of the film or fits the criteria of your film.

• Credits to tell use who is in your film or who took part in making it using special fonts that suite your film and easy to read.


• Indication Something that relates to your film or a part of your film.

why title sequences are so important to film industry

Why titles sequences are so important to the film industry?


The opening sequence of a film presents the filmmaker with quite a challenge. In a short space of time the filmmaker must attract the attention of the audience by making it so interesting that it keeps the audience focused and want to know more introduce the major characters and set the style/genre of the film. First impressions are very important because if an audience has not got a feel for the film or not happy with the film within the first twenty minutes it will be extremely hard to retain their concentration for the rest of the film.

Many modern films use a pre-credit sequence to get the attention of the audience. That is to say, the opening of the film goes straight into the story following the distributor's logo on screen and we may see anything up to ten minutes of action before the actual title of the film is displayed and the theme music begins. James Bond films are an excellent example of this showing the incident leading to James bonds mission that gets the audience hooked and want more.



Following the pre-credit sequence, the title graphics and music both play an important part in creating and bringing attention and setting the genre of the film. Even if the title of a film does not give away what the film is about, the way the title sequence is presented on screen offers many indications as to what the genre will be. For instance, the titles will be very different for a horror film to that of a comedy.

Theme songs played in title sequences are created and suited to the film that you could listen to it with out the visuals and know what film it was from and now in modern films they also bring out sound tracks to buy on cd as there is a huge market for theme songs from top films.
Music is a key way to target their audience.

Overall title sequences are so important to film industry as it like an introduction of what the film is about and what to expect through the film. Setting up the personalities of the characters and setting the mood with the theme music or music used.

RESEARCH ON SAUL BASS

A saul bass title sequence for the human factor.


Saul Bass (May 8, 1920 – April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and Academy Award-winning filmmaker, but he is best known for his design on animated motion picture title sequences.
During his 40-year career he worked for some of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers, including most notably Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Amongst his most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the text racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of the United Nations building in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that raced together and was pulled apart for Psycho (1960).
