Continuing from my previous post, this is what we did during our filming process.

FILMING

Before we started filming, Sublah and I spent a couple of minutes putting makeup on John G to make him appear like an old man. Sublah used face paint to create wrinkles and deep eye bags, and I put talcum powder on John's hair to make him look older. After preparing our character, we proceeded to film in the sixth form common room - the current location.

TASK

Write a short scene, using the following as an outline. Try not to rely too much on dialogue but aim to create narrative interest.

- Character 1 is already in a room

- Character 2 enters

- They have a very brief interaction in which Character 1 gives Character 2 an object

- Character 2 leaves.

For this project, we had to create an animated production logo for our upcoming film opening. Here were some of the tips we had to bear in mind  for making a good logo animation:

- Think about what the company stands for, and how to portray this in the animation
- Don't give to much away. Make the viewer want to see more, the reveal the logo piece-by-piece.
- Keep it under 10 seconds. The shorter, the better.
- Most intros end with a black background. It's not a rule, if you want to keep it consistent with the industry, it's a good idea.
- Spend time building a quality sound design. Bad sound can ruin any good visual.

For our project, we had to choose a sub-genre of horror and complete a case study on at least 4 films, focusing on conventions and essential technical elements. Furthermore, we had to research carefully on the production, distribution and marketing of each film. I decided to do my case study on psychological/thrillers, specifically on the films: Black Swan, Orphan, Se7en (Seven) and The Silence of the Lambs.
