Time Management

We had an initial timings sheet which we hand wrote at the beginning of the project, and although we have tried to stick to this as much as possible, the timings have varied slightly. Below is our original timings.

And here, is what our timings actually were:

11th October             Told about project
21st October              Preliminary Deadline
1st November            Main task given
1st-14th November     Film research
13th November           Began thinking of initial ideas
18th November           Decision of final idea including storyboard
19th November           Filmed first scene
21st-25th November   Genre research
27th November           Filmed second scene
28th Nov-5th Dec        Edited
6th-10th December    Research, planning and final touch-ups on the production
12th December           Deadline


The main deviations from the original timings were that we came up with our idea slightly quicker than we had allowed for, and did the majority of the editing faster than we'd planned. We also did the majority of our genre research later than planned, but there was some genre research in the initial film research and we were confident enough with the research we had done to come up with our idea. Although the dates on the corresponding blog posts may not match the dates that have been stated here, these are the dates the events happened on. The blog post dates may be later due to technical faults or simply not publishing a post because I think it's not finished, but actually posting it without changes a few days later.

Production Company 2

From the research in previous post we decided on a simple logo. We thought of using a production company we had previously thought about the ideology for another Media project.

This company, Purple Mammoth Productions we had previously decided was family orientated, but the film production branch was open o any age rating and genre, so there was films for most people within a family. Because of this, we needed a generic logo, that wasn't age specific. Also to consider, the logo, moving or still had to be created by us and not copyrighted. The logo we used to represent the company in the previous project, was possibly copyrighted. The image can be found on a variety of websites, in different image qualities. We colour manipulated the image in our previous project to make it purple and match the company. But as we were unaware on how this affected copyrights and even if was actually copyrighted, from the use of various websites. We decided it was probably best the logo was left out of our current production.

Colour Manipulated











We decided to keep with the name and idea of the company, as we thought this was a good idea for a production company. As neither Nadine or I have any experience in animation, we didn't know how we would make a sequence to go with our company name. We begun looking through transitions and effects on the iMovie software to see if they had anything we could use that gave a similar effect to what we wanted. We did find an effect titled 'Lens Flare' which was a black background with the flare of a light panning across the screen to reveal text. As I thought this was a much simple, yet similar idea of professional production companies sequences such as 20th Century Fox and Regency. With the panning affect and use of light. We placed this transition in the beginning, adding the text "Purple Mammoth Productions" to appear. We thought this was the only suitable effect on the iMovie software because the others seemed too amateur and this was the only one we thought could seem similar to the other Production Company logos.

As I mentioned in my Production company research, the companies often related their logo to their name. As the Lens flare animation was the only one we were happy to use, we thought that changing the production company name would be more fitting. We thought of many different camera and lighting terminology before deciding between:
  • Lens Flare Productions
  • Panoramic Productions
We eventually decided on 'Panoramic Productions' as purely aesthetically it looked better against the lens flare animation and in the opening titles against the pavement in the cold open.

Title Sequence Music

The main music used in our production is from the company AKM, who sell copyright free/royalty free music, which once you have purchased, you can use as you wish without infringing any copyright issues. I thought these particular CD's that I have previously purchased would be well suited for this project. Below are the songs we considered for all pieces of music, that I have been able to pace on here through the company 'soundcloud' [www.soundcloud.com]. Although the entire song is available, here. the song may not have been used in it's entirety within the production.

To narrow down the song choices to these, we listened to all the AKM CDs that we thought could be appropriate, as the CDs are named by theme. We listened to: Weird and Wonderful; Feeling Good; Alternative Rock; Openers and End credits and Distant Moods. We wanted a song that was simple, had a slight rock n' roll feel to it, and be a song you could imagine waking up and getting ready to.

Look Inside from the AKM CD- Alternative Rock
The track has a repetitive tune and sounds like a song to accompany a transitional scene. It sounds simple, with mainly guitars playing and not much else. It becomes slightly cheesy around and after 0:42, but we don't need the track for much more than this.



Purple Tap from the AKM CD- Weird and Wonderful
I think this track is definitely the sort of track you would wake up to, its up tempo and is very rock n' roll. As the track progresses, perhaps it doesn't fit the soundtrack you would accompany to get ready, for example the guitar solo starting at 0:28, I think doesn't fit the atmosphere we wanted to create.



Rush Hour from the AKM CD- Weird and Wonderful
This track isn't as up tempo as the others, but is easier to cut things to the beat of this. At 0:26 the music changes completely and becomes a lot different to the atmosphere we wanted. Throughout the track, it continues to switch between the two different pieces of music and this inconsistency, we thought wouldn't fit very well.



Disco Harmonix from the AKM CD- Weird and Wonderful
This track has an appropriate introduction, but as it progresses, as the title suggests, it sounds more disco -like. Which isn't particularly listened to nowadays and would clash with the time in when the scene is set. Also, although this is a light-hearted scene, disco music is not linked with thrillers, or crime.



Look Down from the AKM CD- Feeling Good
 Sounds very 'Feel Good' as the album title would suggest. Overall this track is suitable, as it is simple and has no certain feel to it, like disco or extremely rock n' roll. besides this, it sounds very overpowering and would possible overpower the scene. Although this cold be fixed by adjustment of volume and other levels; we have decided not to use this track.


After comparing all the tracks above, we have decided on Look Inside from the Alternative Rock CD as we thought this had the least negative points and just seemed to match the scene very well.

Production Company

We decided to have a production company, as this is something that is present in basically every film as the first thing you see when watching a film. We created our own production company to avoid using copyrighted material, and this would be hard to achieve if we'd used another production companies logo, like Universal Studios, Lionsgate Studios, or 20th Century Fox.

All the logos and sequences are different. Some of them focus mainly on a genre, so have made their logo and sequences relative to that. Some use known objects or themes to associate them with other themes or connotations.
Universal has the revolving of the world with the word "Universal" across the middle. The fact the logo shows the whole world and the company is called universal, links the logo and the companies and possibly ideology together. This enforces the fact that this logo belongs to this company, and by incorporating the name of the title into it also, it makes it always recognisable to be Universal Studios.

Universal Studios

http://youtu.be/Gr2DAGkQdjU

Lionsgate Studios

http://youtu.be/143RkanKBkc

Again, like Universal, Lionsgate link their logo, although more subtly to their name.
The workings from inside the gate may represent how Lionsgate would be involved in the making of the production, as it shows the outside of the gate to reveal the heavens above. From their opening animation, I get the impression that Lionsgate produce predominately fantasy films, as the logo, and also the name, seems quite fantasy-like.

20th century fox

http://youtu.be/LTgRm6Qgscc

The mise-en-scene from 20th Century fox's logo suggested they are interested in big Blockbuster films, because they have the epic music, as well as the spotlights and the 'Hollywood' that pans past. How the text ends up at end, from a low angle shot, also makes the company seem bigger and more dominating and worthy of bigger films.

Dreamworks

http://youtu.be/p9PtpALF_3w

Dreamworks, even from the name suggests they focus on fantasy, as both dreams and fantasy aren't real. This is reinforced by the rest of the sequence because the moon, the main colour and the heavy focus on this main colour; of the sequence are heavily linked with sleep and dreams. The music is much slower and less epic sounding than for example, Universal and 20th Century Fox, this is until the company name begins to reveal which is when the horns come into the musical arrangement, bringing the audio out of being dream-like, this effect is then taken out again when the company name is shown in full.

Disney Pictures

http://youtu.be/L1IfpwJmHd8

The iconic Disney castle is a good thing to use in a short sequence like this, as it is easily recognised and associated with the Disney company as a whole. As this is recognisable throughout the Disney company as a whole, it promotes the company on a larger scale than just the film production part of the company. Also, in this sequence, the fireworks are there to represent the happiest and goodness that come from Disney films, as they follow the typical good conquering evil narrative, and the arc of fairy dust could be associated with the sense of magic this is very much linked with Walt Disney.

Regency

http://youtu.be/BekzZSLBExY

Regency is the least know out of the others I have analysed, and it is also the simplest logo. As "regency" isn't a word or concept that can be easily shown through an image, nor is there a previous well known connotation to it. The idea of representing the word, opposed the concept is also good. The contrast of colours makes the "R" stand out against the background, as does the slow revelation of what the shape is to be. The music building to a crescendo also adds to the tension of revealing the beginning of the film.

Cold Open Music

For the music in the cold open, we wanted a subtle, slow soundtrack just to be in the background to enhance the emotion that should be impacted on the audience as the visual is a considerable shocking opening. We wanted the audience to feel a sense of mystery, slight sadness and enhance the drama of the mise-en-scene. Because of this, me mainly listened to the AKM CD entitled Suspense and Drama because we believed none of the other titles I had, fitted as well as this. A song from this CD was also the music in our preliminary task, so we had already listened to the CD for that and knew it contained suitable music.

The back cover of the Suspense and Drama CD









Apparition from the AKM CD- Suspense and Drama

We thought this sounded a little too like sci-fi music. As if an alien was being revealed or similar. At around 0:25, it also becomes to sound more like a horror, with the whistling sound. This track seems to build tension and would be suitable for a horror or sci-fi. But doesn't match the atmosphere of our scene.

Ghost Story from the AKM CD- Suspense and Drama

We liked the slow piano introduction at the beginning of this track because it made the opening sound sad. But as the track progressed we realised the piano track made the scene sound too sad, rather than dramatic. It made you mourn for the character opposed to wondering in the circumstances behind the death. After about 1:05 the tempo increases in the song, making it sound happier, and even less like atmosphere we wanted.
 
The Counts Castle from the AKM CD- Suspense and Drama

We liked the beginning of this track, the contrast of the low against the higher notes makes the piece sound sad, yet mysterious. But as this arrangement doesn't change in the length we would need to track, it sounded repetitive and slightly boring. Also, when the music did begin to change, the lower notes became more prominent making the tone change to intensify the sadness opposed to the mysteriousness.


The Haunting from the AKM CD- Suspense and Drama

Again, the melody in the introduction of this sets he mood to begin with, and the underlying higher notes accent mysteriousness. One problem was at 0:16 when the pipes come in, we thought it begun to sound a little corny, and didn't quite fit the atmosphere. Later in the track, at around 1:35, when the cymbals come in, the track seems to fit a more sci-fi atmosphere, which also doesn't match what we wanted.


The Plot Thickens from the AKM CD- Suspense and Drama

The introduction to this piece, we especially liked as it crescendos into the song making it subtle to when the music begins. We liked that there is parts where the music is almost silent, just with a continuous bass line because this made the track feel minimalistic rather than taking over the whole scene. This track creates the mood we wanted  with the mysteriousness, slight sadness and drama.

Needless to say, we chose The Plot Thickens for the soundtrack to the scene because of the positive points mentioned above- and the lack of negative points that we could see.

Fonts

For the font of our title, we wanted a reasonably unknown font, that matches what the title is about. The word "Inspector" connotes unknown, and perhaps makes people think of things like Sherlock Holmes and a degree of unknown. This similar effect is reflected in professional films. Examples are Horrors, which often have dripping style font to connotes the dripping of blood or a similar style like that. This is used in horror films like Fright Night (2011, dir. Craig Gillespie) Thrillers fonts aren't as obvious, as the thing that makes Thrillers what they are, is the suspense and aspects like that. Which can't be put across through a font. Most fonts for the titles in Thrillers, are clear sans serif fonts or are match the to the theme of the film. Examples of this are below.

Super 8 (2011, dir. J.J. Abrams) Thriller
Image from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1650062/

Psycho (1960, dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Inception (2010, dir. Christopher Nolan)
Image from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/
















Inspector- Courier New, 116pt
We went through every font allowed for on the iMovie software and we decided on Courier New, 116pt, as it seemed fitting to match the title. It also produced a sort of old, typewriter feel, which incorporates the Film Noir aspect to it. we wanted a slightly unusual font here, one that you wouldn't use for just ordinary text, as this is the title and the font should reflect the genre and styling of the film.

 Cast and crew credits- Gill Sans, 24pt, bold
For the credits, we wanted a simple font that was easy to read, but not easily recognisable so that it would make the production look unprofessional. These are the main reasons for choosing this font. It is not over used, likes fonts such as Times New Roman and Arial but has the same sort of effect of a usual sans serif font.












We thought it was a good idea to put the surnames of the credited in capitals because this is a technique widely used within film making, and helps distinguish names in professional films to avoid confusion. It also grabs your attention to the name slightly more, making them stick in your mind, which is important for professionals, to be recognised for their work.













The images here, are the same as the fonts used in our production, but the style may differ from these images to the production because these have been generated from a different program, which allows for different styling to add to the font and is on a PC, opposed to a Mac, which may also affect the styling differences.

The sizes in these images are also differed to the size the fonts are in the production. In the production, the title is that big, as the title should take up all the screen, and 116pt is the largest font we could use that allowed the word to stay onto one line. We considered having the title across two lines, or breaking it into two nonsense words, such as 'Insp' and 'ector' but after experimenting on how these looked in the production, we decided that the most professional looking way of showing the title, is simply one one line, which left the sizing as 116pt.

We decided to use a different font for the 'and' between our names in the first directors credit, because when this was the same fonts as the names, it looked boring and unprofessional.  We decided to make the 'and' slightly larger and a more elaborate fonts, when finally deciding on Signpainter, 38pt, which is six sizes larger than the rest of text. It also links the two names together and draws your eye to the credits, without being too distracting as there is only a little of elaborate fonts. This font wasn't present on any computers except the Mac, but I did find it on a website to show the font. Which is screenshotted right. The URL of the website is
[http://www.azfonts.net/load_font/signpahc.html]





In the production company logo, the font cannot be changed from Times New Roman, neither can the size be changed, Which is why this font differs from the usual ones we used, and may look slightly out of place. We tried changing the other fonts to match this, but didn't like the result it give. We then also realised that a distributors logo would be the same for different films, so the changing of font from the logo to credits would be different anyway.

White Balance

We decided to change the white balance of the cold open scene to make it look like a colder, empty, sad atmosphere. We did this by changing the white balance from white, to a pale blue green, as this denotes a colder environment. We thought a colder environment was necassary because there is death and sadness in the scene, and phycially making the scene look colder and sadder, through the changing of the white balance would make the narrative come across better. You can see from the images below, the change does make an effective difference to the atmosphere the scene gives. Although Gavin was wearing blue in this scene, which becomes brighter, his surroundings conteract this by making the colour scheme seem duller.


Altered White Balance
 

Original White Balance

We also decided to change the white balance of the title sequence to a subtly more red environment, making the house look considerably warmer than the previous scene, and making the house look a more welcoming place. This creates a contrast between the two scenes, and suggests the film gets sadder or more distasterous as it progresses to where the flashback would come into context.

Titles (Credits)

From the research in the previous post, Nadine and I have decided on these credits to put into our title sequence:
Actors:
   Gavin Bedford
   Fiona Kettle
   Sebastian King
   Freddie Hitchcock
   Phoebe Kudrow

Casting Directer- Tony Stone
Original Score- Tom Spall
Production Designer- Leanne McArtha
Written by- Nadine Shambrook
Produced by- Laura Skelton
Directed by- Alex Matthews

We have used slightly less credits than professional films, partly because we had to invent the names for most of the credits, as Nadine and I, simply worked on this as a whole together. Also, our opening sequence is slightly shorter than professional films, so the get the rhythm to how the titles appear similar to how it would be in professional films, would we have to cut down the amount of titles we included into the opening sequence. But even so, we have only not included Editor, Director of Photography and titles similar Costume designer, set desinger- which are sometimes shown in opening sequences. and even in some professional films, these two, are often excluded from the opening titles. Some examples are Se7en (1995, dir. David Fincher) which doesn't include editors and The Thing (1982, dir. John Carpenter) doesn't include the costume designer in the opening credits and there will be many more that miss out these or others, which is shown by the research I did on title sequences.

Voiceovers

We decided on two possible scripts for the voiceover to our cold open, both are below:

1.
They always say, "What you don't know won't hurt you". But here, "They" are wrong, because it did hurt me... a lot. [pause] It's kind of complicated to tell you, so I'll have to show you. It all started with the interview for my new job.

2.
See that? yeah, that's me. I may have died- and yes I am speaking whilst looking at my dead body, but it's alright because it wasn't my fault. It all started with my job interview.

The second script is more informal and a more joke-like tone than the first. We recorded both of these scripts over the footage, before deciding the first one suited the atmosphere of the film better. Although the title sequence of our production is a lighter atmosphere, there is still a underlining still atmosphere. We thought the second script seemed out of place compared to the first, although to improve the first, we could make it longer, to cover the whole of the cold open scene. But we can't think of any extra information that would be needed in the voiceover that wouldn't lower the formality of the script. We thought opening the voiceover with a quote or saying is a good way to start, as it gives a theme for the film,  and has been used before in film making, such as

Remember Me (2010, dir. Allen Coulter)-
The opening line is "Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it's very important that you do it."

True Grit (2010, dir. Ethan Coen, Joel Coen) -
After the distribution logos, "the wicked flee when none pursueth-proverb 28:1" appears on screen before going onto the opening credits

Similarly, Pulp Fiction (1994, dir. Quentin Tarantino) appears with a definition of "pulp" on screen for the opening. As shown below.

Opening scene of Pulp Fiction (1994)
So, because of the effectiveness that we believe the first script has over the second, we decided to use that one.

Although we would have like to record the voiceover using professional equipment, such as an Edirol or at least an external microphone to re-create the same atmosphere and smooth recording used in professional films. Although we could of had access to this equipment, it was a lot easier and less time consuming, to simply record the voiceover through the internal microphone in the Mac, straight into the iMovie software, which is how we ended doing the voiceover. This still wasn't a bad option, as there was options to change the audio more than if we'd recorded on a simple voice recorder. The room in which we had to record in had a slight echo,  but despite that and a few takes to ensure we had the script was articulated properly, I think the recording was rather successful.

Title

In most opening scenes of films, the title of the film appears in several places (with some specific film exceptions); we realised, in the middle of when we were editing that our film didn't have a title. We begun looking through lists of Thriller films [http://www.imdb.com/genre/thriller] to find trends in the names of the films. From this, we found:

Thriller titles are short, and give you an insight into one significant, yet possibly small aspect of the film. Examples of this are Super 8 (2011, dir. J.J. Abrams) as the title is a type of motion picture recording film, specifically used in the 1970's. From the "Super 8" title, you could deduce that in the film, there is a video camera used within the plot and the film is probably set in the 1970's. Another similar example is the film Twister (1996, dir. Jan de Bont) which you can tell simply from the title, that the film regards a hurricane or similar, but that is the only information given.

Thriller titles also often are single words, or short phrases. This is possibly to intensify the mystery that is present within Thrillers, with the lack of information. This is also present in all genres of film titles, as the shorter a title is, generally, the more it sticks in your mind- therefore filmmakers try to avoid using long titles. There are numerous examples within Thrillers of this: Psycho (1960, dir. Alfred Hitchcock); Transformers (2007, dir. Micheal Bay); Jaws (1975, dir. Steven Spielberg);

Thriller titles sometimes also include something different in the name, this distances the films concepts away from the audience, as they are something different to what the audience normally expects. It also makes the film distinctive and stick in your mind more. Some examples are Se7en (1995, dir. David Fincher) which is about hunting a serial killer that works around the seven deadly sins. the numerical 7 in the title makes the title stand out and emphasises that the concept of seven [deadly sins] is particularly prominent. Another example would be Inception (2010, dir. Christopher Nolan) as before this film was released, inception was a fairly unheard of word, making it a memorable and unusual title.

From these things, Nadine and I came up with a few possible titles to call our film.

Gavyn
we thought this because it is a unique way of spelling Gavin (our leading actors name). But after looking at some baby names websites, (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Gavyn) we discovered that this wasn't as such a unique spelling as we'd thought, and was actually relatively modern and common. As this took away the distinctiveness of the titles, we decided it wasn't as effective as we first thought.

Full Blast
We thought this title suggested action, and could also suggest explosions within the narrative. We thought conceptually this is a good title, but possibly slightly more what you would expect from an action/adventure opposed to thriller. We inserted this title into the transition within the production, but using all the fonts we had available, the title didn't look right. So we decided to discard this one, and think again of some more titles.


Inspector
I came up with this idea; I thought it was good because of the possibility of the job interview being an Inspector, or there being an inspection of the characters death. This ties in also with the Thriller and Film Noir themes. It also fits with the one word convention for titles, along with familiarising with one aspect of the plot. The title isn't particularly distinctive, but with the absence of 'the' before 'inspector' makes it more distinctive than it would of been with it. Also, even though the title suggests some narrowing of the narrative, it is still a very conventional thriller film title, and could be related to almost any film that meets the codes and conventions of a thriller film.

Opening Credits

Through research of films and websites, Nadine and I discovered the norm for the order and roles for the credits that would be in our title sequence. Although, the genre of film may not make much of a difference to how the title sequence is ordered, I still mainly focused on Thrillers for this research.

The films I looked at for their title sequences were:
Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010, dir. Edgar Wright)
I looked at this film because I knew it had a good title sequence, and I could use it to compare to other thriller films I looked at as this is not a Thriller film. It also is the only one I looked at that has a cold open, which structurally is similar to our production, so we would need to know what to put before and after the cold open.


[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGCfhwq1qBE]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005, dir. Shane Black)
This is a Thriller, that has also some Film Noir themes to it, so this film would be very similar to our and a good research film because of that. This also, has a animated title sequence, which the others do not, at least not in the same way.


[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bpP9sI72bM]

The Thing (1982, dir. John Carpenter)
I looked at this film as a reference to a slightly older film that the others, to see if the trend in how title sequences are structured have changed.


[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs-fpBCdOz0]

Se7en (1995, dir. David Fincher)
This is a known Thriller that, regarding the animation and editing of the video in the title sequence "that helped rejuvenate title design in mainstream cinema" [http://www.artofthetitle.com/2008/03/26/se7en/] and by many film fans and professionals, is regarded one of the best title sequences in film. As Se7en, is a also a Thriller film, I thought this would be a good film to include in this research.
