Film Project: Film Name

We have completed parts of the editing and it is going really well, we have got some really good shots together and are interlinking really well. However at the end of our film intro we are going to have a black screen with the name of the movie appear, but once again we are having trouble with choosing a name for the movie. We wanted a name that is not to obvious because our movie is original and special, at first we had a few names that floated about, names like 'She loves me not', 'Obsession' and 'Deception'. We all like these names, but none we loved. We thought 'She loves me not' seemed a bit soppy and didnt link with the theme and genre of the movie. However I like the one word film titles, but i wasnt keen on these either was the group, we thought 'Deception' was too similiar to the new block buster 'Inception' and 'Obession' did link well with the story line, but the rest the group didnt feel the same and we were sure to make an anonymous decision. After a few names we came up with 'Possesion' and every one was happy with this. So our film is called 'Possesion'

Film Project: Changes in the process

After editing the first section of filming we was very pleased, but there was a slight hitch as the lighting was very awkward to edit as it was so dark, but after a bit of concentrating on this we finally cracked it. But in our storyboard we had a shot of a silhouette, the 'Killer' stabbing the 'Victim' on the wall, but after filming the other day we had a look around at where can create this silhouette but it was looking doubtful.

However in a media lesson we all put our heads together and decide to ditch the silhouette would be to hard to create and if we did it wouldn't be as good as we thought. instead of this shot we came up with a new few shots we would make the stabbing visible and see the knife enter and me hitting the floor.

After drawing this idea down, we were all happy in the change of storyline and think it would be better more iconic shot of me hitting the floor.

Film Project: Production Company name

We have to create our own production company in our film so it looks original. however the production studio name was a slight 'red light' in our process of the Film Introduction. As simple as it sounds, we coudlnt think of a name that would suit our film and sound cool really. At first a few ideas flew about such as "Two Ducks Full" this was a silly one Sam said of the top of his head, it was good but not suiting for our concept. After this we decided to make the name only one word, we thought its cooler and sounds better if you can say it quickily. After a few suggestions, we had the name "Hollow Productions" we all thought it was suiting as its quite dark and different. We all agreed and we stuck with it. Our production company is "Hollow Productions

Film Project: Decisions

After being put into groups we could not wait to get stuck in and start thinking of ideas of the genre of film, the plot, where, who does what roles and other small stuff. One lesson we all sat down and put our heads together, we had a brainstorm which is in our Production Book. we all shared our ideas, Holly came up with an idea for a chick flick, it was good and we done abit more thinking about and decided it would be hard to achieve and we would probally make a better movie with a different genre.


After a lesson of thinking, we all agreed with an idea of a thriller / action film, however this genre is generally the typical one students pick we believed we could make it different and stand out by maybe setting it in a different year or making a different storyline.


Me and Sam had an exam when we had to present our thoughts and ideas to the class, so Holly and Aisha presented the idea. They done well and we got some good feedback, next stage is storyboarding!

Film Project: Being put into groups

This week we have been told about our new project of making an intro to a film, I was really excited because I was waiting to get to do some technical, hands on work. Making a film intro has been something i've always wanted to do from GCSE when i created a magazine. However the first step of this process was being put into groups, we was asked to write down a few names that we would be comfortable with doing the project, i wrote down some of my friends : Sam, Alex and Harry. Both of the groups were being mixed up and boys and girls would be working together.

The next lesson was told our groups, my group is Sam, Holly and Aisha, we are GROUP T. I was very pleased with this group, because I was with my friend Sam. I didn't really know Holly and Aisha, but i knew they were clever girls who had some good ideas. I believe i am going to work well with this group!
