Opening Credits

I am now in the process of coming up with some OPENING CREDIT. I am going to use my research of Art House films to create conventional titles for the genre.With all film openings, the director always goes at the end. I am using my own company ident, which is called "2FacedPictures" Here are the credits that are to follow.

I have come up with a company i-dent. I want to call it  "2FacedPictures" which connotes the genre of my film of an "art-house fantasy".  I am in the rendering process at the moment. Creating an after affect was by far the most complex stage of the process. I learnt that it is a lot of layering, and lots of work even though my title is about five seconds. I got an image of the internet of multi coloured wall and chose the font. I got a "glitter shot" effect which goes up and down. Here is a screen shot of the rendering process:

Script

Here is my first script for 'Dead Truth' that I put together. Although there is only one light of dialogue within my opening two minutes, there is non diegetic V/O.  It is with my voice though as my protagonist was not able to do the recording. This however did not disrupt the flow of the film. I edited out Mr Thornmans lines in my actual film as I believe it disrupted the film. Please click the arrows to enlarge the script. 

I used the program of celtx. This sets the script out in a conventional feature film fashion. This gives space for shot sizes, description of location, V/O and dialogue. Celtx did not only contribute to the quality of the film though it enriched the practicality and gave us a format of how we were going to structure two days of filming. 

-Starting to do my title sequence.

I am using LIVE TYPE which makes my titles look more professional rather than the effects used in iMovie. Here is me in practice working on title "Directed By Oliver Mould"

BRAIN STORMING MY GENERAL IDEA

1. Genre
2. Plot
3. Character
4.Location

Genre: After going to a recent OCR lecture with the chief examiner of Media Studies, he made it clear that originality was key. This is why I wanted to go for a unique hybrid genre of Art House Fantasy. Preliminary, I was looking at Crime, Thriller, and Horror but it was extremely common so I wanted something that would challenge me. 

Plot: This was an extremely difficult part of the planning. I have a love for art, so I wanted to base it around this fact. I also had to try and link the fantasy element with this. I came up with the idea of a boy that can talk to paintings and hear first hand evidence from old kings themselves. This made me extremely enthusiastic. It has also never been done before according to my research.

Character: My character is not a stereo-type in anyway. He does not join in any social group what so ever. I am however influenced by Richard Ayoade's film Submarine's protagonist Oliver Tate. He is quirky and indifferent about what he wears and how he acts socially. I also wanted him to be upper class as it matched well with the surroundings

Location: Location is set in 3 places. The first is an abandoned pub. This is where Pereguine lives. The second is a London Gallery in the West End. The third is outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. All these places are visually interesting. We see luxury paintings, to famous sites in London, and enigmatic old streets. Our location also helps construct our upper class character.
