Production Log- Week 15

Unfortunately me and my partner had some trouble with filming this week. We understand the importance of the fluidity of our footage. In order for the film to flow, the additional shots taken outside will have to be the same weather than before. However this week the weather has been bad and not the same as we had previously shot. Also the actress has been unable to attend because of we have mock exams and most of us are revising before hand.

In order to still get the footage we have decided to film after our mock exams. There is only a little number of shots needed so we believe we can do this quickly. We have set a day when we can film as our actress will also be free and the weather will be similar. The weather was a dry yet cloudy condition. We will film on Thursday at roughly 16.00pm because it is a cloudy yet mild weather condition which is similar to our previous footage.

Production Log- Week 13/14

During the Christmas Holidays me and my partner aimed to film our footage over the two weeks. In the first day we filmed all the indoor shots which we did not we would do, so we were pleased we achieved a lot in a short space of time. The next week we shot all the outside shots which is a high number of shots. However after I analysed the shots thoroughly there was one shot that did not flow so we aimed to try re shoot the shot so it works. However as the shot was outside we needed the weather conditions to be as similar as when we filmed previously. Unfortunately we have not found a day yet.

Even though we completed the shooting script thoroughly due to the size of Amneet's room and the space we had available some of the shot types had to change. We were against it at first but me and my partner are satisfied with the outcome because we are portraying our character the way we wanted. The image below is the location of our indoor footage. It is a flat.


.This image below is the location of our outside shots. On a bad day this area looks grim and gritty however on the shot in Google maps, the area looks nice because it is sunny. This has made us choose to shoot out film on a dull day rather than sunny.

Production Log- Week 12

This week me and my partner focused on the graphics of our opening sequence. This included graphics of all the job roles, actors and the title of our film. When creating these graphics we intended on using plain colours, a plain font and little if no effects on the text at all. We believed that in order to represent the BSR genre we should aim to keep the graphics as simple as possible. We used a plain font and kept the colour of the text white throughout. If after we put the text on top of our footage and the colour is not suitable we just need to simply go back onto the programme and change the color of it.

We wanted to keep the graphics simple because of the previous BSR films we had watched for example Fish Tank and Bullet Boy. We did not want to copy their graphics so we didn't make the graphics full screen with a black background, so the white text is on top of our footage.
