Longline Research

To research loglines...i looked at examples so i could get a rough idea of how to write mine for my film:
Example 1:Title: SWINE HEART HORRORWriters: Theresa Carey and Bruce BrochtrupGenre: Sci-Fi HorrorLogline: A mild-mannered Jewish doctor struggles with bizarre personality changes, unfamiliar slaughterhouse memories and increasingly violent episodes after receiving an emergency heart transplant of unknown origin.


Example 2:Title: Mo MushiWriter: Wade BarryGenre: DramedyLogline: Two gay men from San Francisco move to a small Wisconsin town to open a sushi dance club.


Example 3:Title: KeynoteWriter: Zach AsmanGenre: DramedyLogline: An Internet billionaire returns to his hometown to deliver the keynote speech at his old high school's graduation.


Example 4:Title: Two Can PlayWriter: Glen DelahaveGenre: Black ComedyLogline: After suspecting his wife is cheating, a bitter lawyer treats it like any other case and must begin an investigation to gather witnesses, obtain evidence and arrange for an extravagant dinner party at which to present his case to her family and friends.


From looking at examples i come to the conclusion that loglines are a brief summary of a film often providing both a synopsis of the films plot, this is to connect to the audience and stimulate the audiences interest in the film. Loglines can be a sentence long or a short paragraph, the reason for this is because they are enticing the audience to see their film where as if it was longer that might give away the story making the audience not want to see the movie because the element of surprise has been taken away!

Problems with filming outside

Filming outside is very risky, reason being is that we cant control the weather or the lighting. Therefore we might be filming and suddenly it will start to rain or it goes dark which is not part of our film. We have been checking the weather forecast constantly to see when would be a good time to film.

Our filming has been delayed as when we went to film outside a couple of weeks ago, it started to pour down with rain and this did not stop till a few hours later. This was a massive problem as we lost the natural light as it went dark outside, but because we had a schedule to keep we went ahead and filmed anyway. Although we didn't have the day light, you could clearly see the two young boys kicking a football about. After discussions and meetings whether to re-film we come to the conclusion that we really like this scene, and it fits in nicely with our trailer but because because we like it so we are going to keep it.

Production of evaluation Q.4

This is a short post on which explains the theory behind the production of my evaluation question 4 and why i decided to film it in this way. I wanted my evaluation question to be very free flowing, as we moved from each technological device. It allows the viewer to watch my evaluation question while digesting various information on the technological devices we used and what impact they had on our production. The production and filming of question 4 was fairly simple, as it allows you to see from a ravens wood media student perspective. As you follow the student around the media corridors you are forced upon you information  of which shows you the various and best technological devices. As you can see here on the right we had already scrap planned which technological devices we used and hand written how the production was affected by these. Once these had been hand written they were each enlarged and typed up onto each sheet of paper. This then easily allowed us to print these off and stick these around the corridors completing my free flowing effect.
