Tumblr
http://evolutionproductions.tumblr.com/
We created a Tumblr account as this is a great way to share across the web our ideas and shots. This way more audience is attracted in to see whether they would be keen or not as within Tumblr different categories can be chosen one being movies.
Setting set tasks for everyone
Leading on from working well together, we then went on to creating an A4 sheet with 11 things each person needed to do. This went from research to tweaking and adjusting the film itself (costumes, props etc...). Everyone had a copy of the sheet and it was colour coded so each person knew their tasks and everybody else's in the groups tasks.

Working Together
At times we found it difficult working together, as we discovered at an early stage.
When deciding what film idea we wanted or even what genre we had a lot of disagreements and of course we wanted to create an opening sequence that everyone would be passionate about and willing to work on! So we decided to get a sheet of A3 and each write our 5 favourite films on then join them together in the centre from this we had 3 ideas: A mods and rockers film such like Quadraphenia; A fantasy such as Alice in Wonderland and Twilight and finally a thriller/ action such as Taken. We then looked at the pros and cons for each and worked out that mise en scene needed to create a 60's or fantasy film was not within our budget so we decided on the thriller. People weren't sure at first but it soon came together and when it came to filming people were able to put their hearts into creating the opening sequence!
From there on work load was shared to an extent evenly and our group meshed together well.
Changing the look of the Blog
We began with a photo taken from one found on a website allowing copyright use of a dingy bedroom. This was dirty and blood stained and very unkind to the eye. We originally went with this as it showed the isolation of the female protagonist. However, it did not reflect how her way of life was as she was doing reasonably well for herself. We then changed to a look of broken glass to show how the female had been shattered and cracked by her kidnappers. This worked well and was kept for a while as each member of the group liked it and believed it best suited the characters emotions and those of the audience. Finally, we changed to the background that stands, this is because we thought that after filming and editing the look of the darkness of 3 black figures scared the audience more which was more the genre we were heading for in our thriller.
I have placed the photos below to give an idea of each step we went through...

Certificate research
Certificate Research
When producing or writing a film the producer already has an idea in mind of the certification and rating the film will have. This therefore means when the British board of film classicisation is rating the film the producer is waiting with a desired outcome they hope for. Every film that is released must be viewed by the British board of film classification (BBFC). This will determine the age range of the potential audience. The cost to the distributor is £9.50 per minute of film viewed. An example of when the BBFC have made a judgement which the producer of the film; which in this case is Steven Spielberg, didn’t like the verdict was Star wars. Steven Spielberg had an idea in mind of which age range he wanted to advertise his film at, he wanted younger children and the younger generation to be able to enjoy his film, however, the BBFC decided the film wasn’t suitable and rated it at a higher certification to the one he had hoped for and planned for; for example merchandise and advertising strategies.
Between 1912 and 1932 the only certifications for films were U and A – Universal and Adult.

Between 1912 and 1932 the only certifications for films were U and A – Universal and Adult.
This means the film industry has excelled and advanced since then as it has gone from having just two certifications to 7.
U FILMS - It is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. But a ‘U’ film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. ‘U’ films should be set within a positive moral framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror.
PG FILM - Unaccompanied children of any age may watch. A ‘PG’ film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.
12 FILMS - Exactly the same criteria are used to classify works at ‘12A’ and ‘12’. These categories are awarded where the material is suitable, in general, only for those aged 12 and over. Works classified at these categories may upset children under 12 or contain material which many parents will find unsuitable for them. Category exists only for video works. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a ‘12’ rated video work.
The ‘12A’ - category exists only for cinema films. No one younger than 12 may see a ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult and films classified ‘12A’ are not recommended for a child below 12. An adult may take a younger child if, in their judgement, the film is suitable for that particular child. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult.
15 FILMS - No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video work.
18 FILMS – no-one younger than 18 may see an ‘18’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 18 may rent or buy a ‘18’ rated video work.
R18 FILMS - The ‘R18’ category is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults. Films may be show to adults in specially licensed cinemas and cannot be supplied by mail order.

Preliminary Improvements
We realised after filming the preliminary task that there were several improvements we could have made to the filming. Our main concern was the sound, in the footage the sound is slightly fuzzy and at times hard to hear. If we were to film the scene again we would definitely take into consideration the sound picked up on the camera and make sure there are no background sounds to interfere with the focus diegetic sound being the dialogue.
The first shot used in the preliminary film was slightly angled to the right, considering the camera was placed on the floor this mistake shouldn’t have occurred. To improve this shot and get the best effect from the frame, we could ensure the shot is as straight as it can be before we start filming. This will guarantee the shot is how the group planned it in the storyboard and get the perfect low level camera shot envisioned.
We also needed to ensure the days that we intended to film were evenly distributed. This was another mishap which interfered with the continuity of our filming. There were several days in between certain scenes filmed which meant there were occasions in which the costumes were different to those in previous scenes; this lead to the group re-filming many scenes due to the continuity error.
We could also have improved the difficulty of the shots used in the film. We used many basic shot types; long shot, over the shoulder shot. However, we could have incorporated other more challenging shots for example a point of view shot from the victim looking up at the main character; this would have diversified the angles and frames.

Post-Production evaluation
Post production evaluation
During post-production or simply, 'post' , we incurred many obsticles including editing glitches and differed opinions regarding the score. But as a whole I thoroughly enjoyed every second spent on it.
We decided that first we would import all the footage we had then input it to the video in chronological order, then we cropped the files to the length we needed. This enabled us to quickly work out the different cuts we would need to create a smooth sequence.
While this was going on i decided to shortly leave Adam to editing while i worked on the animations of the titles by myself and once i had worked out how to used Adobe After Effects I was able to quickly assemble two title sequences that suited our short project and i asked the others to check, once they had agreed to it I put it all into motion and before we knew it the video was all edited together with only the audio to go.
But it was not easy to edit the video, as there were a lot to get through and we only had a limited amount of time. We all stayed behind after school at one point or another and spent literally hours editing until we had it perfect.
As hard as I must be to work with I have been nicknamed a 'perfectionist' and I often wasn't satisfied until the most finest of details were exactly right which meant we may have spent more time ironing out small creases in our work that could have easily been left. I just feel that saying 'that will do' means it can be better and I always strive to be create the best.
When our film didn't just look like a bunch of video clips next to each other and it started to look like artwork, which is what we were aiming for, we decided to finally add our score.
Adam and I had already sampled together various different sounds that we wanted to incorporate and when we added certain snippets to our film we knew it matched. Once we spent about an hour sorting out the film score we were finally happy with our outcome and we knew that the post stage was finally finished after about a total time of 6-7 hours.

Continuity
Continuity
For us the continuity was very important, especially as we had so many cuts and angles of the same shot, it was vital that everything matched with as little mistakes as possible.
Every member of our group, Evolution Productions, acted as a continuity supervisor, or script supervisor as the actual role is called. This enabled to gain unique perspective on our film through different angles without or audience feeling disorientated by seeing the same clip more than once.
While editing we made sure that the match to action shots and the eye-line match shots were crisp and well delivered, we spent lots of time looking at our sequence almost frame by frame to make sure that there was no major issues concerning continuity.
Perhaps the only fault we had would be the difference in weather and lighting due to the different days that we filmed, we tried best we could to make this seem less obvious in post production but ultimately we did the best we could and it is still noticeable however if it came to it I suppose we could justify that indoors there are some sort of tinted windows creating it darker indoors.
We could have boosted brightness of the lamps on set however we felt the shadows and silhouettes created set the perfect tone for the scene so we decided against it.
I think anyone would agree that due to our careful observation on set and in post-production, we were successful in obtaining minimal continuity errors.

Representation - Gender
Gender
For our production we decided to hold the representation of the stereotypical 'damsel in distress' by having the female protagonist kidnapped by an all male team of antagonists.
However the female protagonist strikes the man which challenges the 'week woman' cliche that you tend to see in normal 'damsel in distress' type scenarios.
We portrayed our female character on a very strong independent woman who wouldn't go without a fight, who persists escape in situations that seem impossible to escape from.
The male characters in our opening sequence are your average team of antagonists the driver, leader and the muscle. We can see what there roles are by acting in various different ways. They don't say anything the whole time and they always act calm, which shws us that they are professionals.
Gender as a whole in our sequence is fitting the general scheme of an average stereotype however in certain cases it is challenged which will hopefully provide relation to the a vaster percentage of our audience.

Changes
Changes.
We decided to completely change the story and overall premise of our original film proposal, as we over complicated a simple story which made it difficult to get smart and creative with basic cinematography.
With all this in mind and after we saw the footage we had shot from our first day of filming we decided to return to chalk board, so to speak, and re-think our idea. In the end we thought it best to develop a whole new concept from scratch rather than change the current one we was working on.
This large change had set us back at least two or three weeks, so we knew that we had to work hard to catch up. So I devised a simple checklist and timetable that we had to strictly keep to in order to retain our deadline which we did.
With our new idea and film we are all satisfied with the work that we have put together and are frankly amazed with what we have accomplished in such a short space of time!

Film name research
A film has to have a memorable film name that stands out and sticks in the audiences mind. Therefore, deciding the name was as important as the filming.
For example there are many films titles which include the name of the main character; 'Shrek', 'Salt' and 'Hanna'; these are easy names to remember and results in the audience remembering the film better, and means the title completely relates to the film.
For example there are many films titles which include the name of the main character; 'Shrek', 'Salt' and 'Hanna'; these are easy names to remember and results in the audience remembering the film better, and means the title completely relates to the film.
They may also be a line or phrase which at a memorable point in the film a character says, 'War Horse', 'He's just not that into you', and 'Inception' 'Inception. 'Is it possible?’ These film names are allowing the audience a slight insight into the key topic of the film.
When deciding our film name we wanted to sit down together and get as many ideas as we could then finalise a few and make a judgement. This was tricky because we all had different ideas on which path we should follow; whether the name of the film was the female lead’s name, whether the name should be included in the dialogue, or something completely different. In the end we decided on a film name from many we all input. We wanted the final decision to be a group one so no one felt unhappy because they didn’t like it. The name of the film had to be eerie to fit the thriller genre, but not give too much away; like in the examples, Salt and Inception.

First day of filming evaluation
First day of filming evaluation
During the first day of filming we discovered that it was harder than it looked and would take more time than we anticipated filming an opening sequence. However, we were willing to put in the hours and make sure the film was captured to the best we could using the resources we had. The weather was extremely cold but sunny and we were filming outside, we therefore, had to ensure we finished all the outside filming on the same day allowing no continuity editing to occur if we had to change days and the weather was different. This also meant we allowed more time for editing as we didn’t need to wait around to film more takes of the same scenes on a day similar to the one we originally filmed on. We needed to ensure we filmed on a day an adult was around to do the driving scenes for us as we are all underage. To guarantee we got every outside shot completed we used the storyboards we created to guide us through each shot with the shot type included and the characters in them. Throughout the filming we discovered many of the shots we expected were changed due to the angle of the natural lighting. Which also lead to a chain of other shots or actions and people in the shot changing to other events more suited to the surroundings. To enable us to have a variety of decent shots to choose from for each scene we replayed the sequence after we filmed it to see if it was one we’d use and to see how we could improve the shot overall to get the required affect and vibe. Before filming the scene; involving the two main male characters putting the female character in the boot, we practised the action until it was perfected so we didn’t waste memory filming mistakes, and could finish the scene in only a few takes. To avoid continuity editing we had regular breaks so the freezing temperate didn’t affect the appearance of the characters; reddening of the face and hands, to the point the characters looked different in chronological shots. Before finishing the day of filming we looked through every shot we captured throughout the day to ensure we had enough footage to merge together and to make sure all the angles of the shots were as they were anticipated. The next day of filming to be done will only take place inside a flat, this means there will be no continuity editing of the weather and lighting outside. Nevertheless, we will confirm all windows are covered or out of shot in case the lighting/weather is different to that on the first day of filming.

Chart 3
From the results from our target audience survey we discovered that breaking the fourth wall was not something to even consider. We originally gave it some keen thought and after the results were analysed we saw that it wouldn't be favored in the way we thought it would
Chart 2
We took the oppertunity to ask people form our target audience what there favoured genre was and then from our target audience results we conclusivly decided to make our key genre, a thriller. This meant we was able to use some key features from this genre that would appeal to our target audience and make our project a hit and a success which was the ultimate goal.
Chart 1
The majority of people asked in our survey where between the ages of 18 and 25, so we decided to keep that age group as our main demographic. If we label a certain age group as a demographic then we can highlight certain features that would appeal to that age group through our research. We are then able to translate this information into our final production, this satisfies the majority of the audience and nearly 100% of our target audience.
