Plans for Thursday 11th March

Tomorrow we are getting scrabble pieces to film the insitution sequence.
Shall we just film it in a classroom...Mr Bush's classroom?

We are filming it at LUNCHTIME

Period 3 we are practicing the voice over with Ricki and maybe doing a practice recording of it?

AB Pictures

We also began to think about our AB Pictures logo. We were thinking something a little simpler than our prime times production logo so we quickly though of this:




What do you guys think?

Prime Times Productions Ideas

Today we began to think about logos.
We were thinking we wanted a logo involving moving image. These were our first ideas:

1.1940’s themed- old lamp which gets turned on and the logo-Prime Times Productions- appears on screen. The background fades to black and the title fades to white.

2.Tracking shot of scenery and the logo- Prime Times Production- appears. All fades to black.

3. Scrabble pieces spelling Prime Times Production on a scrabble board. The last letter "S" is put down by a hand. All fades to black.

We so far have chosen the third idea, because we like it and it ties in with our prop- monopoly (Alienation)

Plan of Action

Now that we have our sequence done, it doesn't mean that we are almost finished and have time to waste (Bianca). Rather than taking the 3 weeks we have left for granted, I think that we should make a timetable and stick to it. We need to check with all our actors and Ricki if they can do these days. Change it if you want but for now:

Wednesday 10th
1. Sort out Roman thinking
2. Start writing voice over

Thursday 11th

1. Capture Slick "It was you"
2. Capture Slick answering his phone
3. Capture Lexi writing her name on DVD
4. Re-film DC Black and PC Digby in the underpass

Tuesday 16th
1. Capture DC Black and PC digby in the underpass
2. Edit Slick "It was you", Slick answering his phone, Lexi writing her name on DVD and DC Black and PC Digby in the underpass into the edited sequence

Wednesday 17th
1. Re-record any diegetic sound that isn't clear enough to use
2. Record the voice over

Thursday 18th
1. Carry on recording the voive over if it doesn't get finished
2. Think of non-diegetic music to add and how to get it

TRAILER ANALYSIS!

Thing's to do

Although we've nearly finished filming, we still have to film:
1. Lexi writing her name on the DVD
2. Slick's phone call (I know we filmed it already but it wasn't filmed properly)

The post-production things we still have to do are:
1. The editing's practically finished, we just need to check it and some stuff has to be re-arranged
2. All of us need to think of music
3. We have to write a voice-over
4. Seeing as we have time, I think we should do a shorter version of our trailer as a sort-of teaser trailer
5. We have to re-do a lot of the dialogue because most of it sounds really bad

I'm sure we have other things to do as well but I can't remember
