day 3

This is the third day of filming we went to oxleas woods and it was also a very poor day we has to do a lot of filming but we couldn't get it all done because of many different distractions because we decided to get the bulk of the work done so that we didn't have loads to do at the end we decided also to meet early so we had a bigger window to film in and this enabled us to then slowly go through it all and make sure that it is all the necessary shot and they are how we wanted them furthermore we had to make sure that everyone was able to film because we had t have external crew ad we made sure that they was al free for the days.

in the wood it was very muddy and wet so we had to compensate by redoing some shots so that they can be perfect for the scenarios that we had to shoot. so we decided to sit down that night and discuss what we needed to do for the fourth day because we was running out of time.

day 2

When everything was prepared we shot the book because that is where the title of the film appears. then we got pictures of the boys who were going to the park and we then shot our next scene which was Billy was putting the photos in the book and then crossing their eyes and he put the photos on a board.
day two was a productive day because we had to use different effects of the camera to get the perfect shot. this day was a learning curve for me personally because with this I had to get a feel for the camera more and learn how extensively I can use and develop different images to create which could cause a more mysterious and gloomy effect.

we then focused mainly on the different aspects of the story board between 8-15 with this you could then the from this we could makes sure we have covered this area properly.

the first day of filming

This is the first day of filming I feel that it has been a very successful day and we have achieved a lot of work we started round my house to do the close up and over the shoulder shots these allow them to a main priority because they had to be perfect because you are unable to see the killer so as you can tell it had to be re-shot a lot of times but it was a success. We took inspiration from the title sequence "se7en" because of its style of close shots where you can only see a small amount of the body and this puts the audience on a quest to watch the rest because you will never see who it is and it will constantly stay as a Macguffin. we had to spend a lot of time preparing the areas for the different stages of the first film and because of this it was a time consuming task but apart from this it helped us out having a whole week to film.

django analysis

This is the films production company 


This is conventional for Quentin Tarantino film for his name to be one of the first show on the opening credits





In this title analysis i have chosen django because i feel this has quite a expansive title sequence because straight away you see the production company then you are in the film traveling through the sun kissed desert where there is no life for miles and you see the main character names whilst there slave are traveling.
The style of the font in in blood red which is a good foreshadow in some ways because throughout this film there are some gruesome and horrifying scenes so having the blood red is a significant colour.
This the title of the film we have django name in red which could mean that he has suffered and bled a lot because of the torture that you see he has suffered from his back and then the peaceful and holy colour of white which is used for the word unchained and the reason why it was holy because he was set free and saved like god was making sure he lived.



the way that the camera focuses on this man shows the audience that he is the main character for the film so this is a early recognition of the character django






here again the audence is show the expression of the character because of the pain that he has to go through whilst walking and the tiredness that you see in his face


The screen shot above has changed locations this has now put us in a wooded area and has show the producers name and the setting shows us that they are traveling at night first of all not just the dark lighting but the fact that the slaves are covered in robes and this could mean that the area is cold because of the drop in temperature furthermore when you see the slaves at night this shows the audience that they are constantly walking and are never let to rest and their lived are very miserable.

From this title sequence we see the main character names shown in a blood red which can show pain danger and the anger that will be shown from the Djangos point of view.
We also put straight in to the film showing us Django's very painful journey to where the film starts and this is quite a good way to start the film because of the similar way that the hulk film start because of the way it starts explaining the story to the audience to save time.

group analysis

The Conjuring.
This is the first scene from the title sequence as you see that it has a very grainy black and white this straight away confides to the codes and conventions for a horror first of all the family picture looks mysterious because of the way it has been taken plus  to add the show it has been edited to look like old film that is being played by a old film camera this shows that the film will have history.

In the last two screen shots they has been two family names this foreshadows the film later on plus this could mean that the family would be involved later on.





This is the start of the film it shows two characters these could be important to the film furthermore whilst in the back ground there is a projection showing the producers of the film.
This effect of the grain is giving the audience the allusion that it has a long and historical event and from this the audience will be intrigued to carry on watching to see who those families are.





These screen shots of the title sequence show that there has been news stories of ''ghostly activity and it has been in a museum'' these have been taken because these scenes might have been in the film and it could be important but they produce a macguffin








In these last screen shot you see pictures of the cast as their characters but for three of the characters its is placed in a grave yard this could foreshadow the deaths of people of the families graves that you see..
The images are very distressing to the audience because seeing death can make images or memories which can be uncomforting.








These scene can produce foreshadows for the future of the film it includes a wegie board a tree with a knot like someones going to hang them selves these are the most distressing because creating these situations can have bad repercussions which will lead to a poor future.

21st january hw

                                                                            Saul bass 
Saul bass has been famous for doing many title sequences in his time and some of his most famous title sequences are 'the man with the golden arm' and Alfred hitch cocks 'north by north west' in addition to this he worked on a variety of many posters that have been shown to be some of the most creative and inspiration work that has caused many of the new film sequences and the advertisement poster to be created.


http://youtu.be/s4L9J-CUAl8

this is the title sequence from the film psycho this is a good classic film which is well know through out all generations plus it has a very strong title sequence.
this sequence has very strong relativity to Saul bass's previous work the title consists a very strong and loud instrumental music this relate to his older work for example the man with a golden arm furthermore Saul bass has made a sequence that has very basic animations which is simple transitions but they go with the sequence very well because of the way that the film title sequence is a very old fashioned and unique.

the lay out of the title sequence show that saul bass has chosen to put the production company first then the  director of the film second then the title which he has done for other films because he is given credit to the two part that have created the most im put so he is given them the most credit straight away.

the following day
we presented about saul bass i feel that in our group we had improved fro the week before because we had a lot more detail and we had a fully constructed power point so we had no need to improvise nothing, I feel we had made a massive improvement and we still have more to show.
