Discussing our opening sequence with Peers

Our Inspiraton

Our inspiration for our opening sequence film was The Fault In Our Stars. It is the same target audience towards young teens or families and it is also based on a teen romance with the protagonist suffering with an illness, in this case she has cancer. something that differentiates with out opening sequence is that we have picked an ambient song whereas in tis film they have put an up beat but also quite chilled song to grab the attention of teens. We see the 2 protagonists quite a lot in this and in our plan Imy and I have involved majority of the opening sequence to be based on Kian and Maisie. The font is also similar to ours, it inspired us to include a hand writing typed font so it looks like it is a very personal film and it can relate to majority o f our audience in some way. Amy and I haven't picked a colour scheme yet but in this film their colour scheme is blue, with different shades being nav dark blue to pastel blue and then white. I think that this is a good colour to use as it reflects sadness and it foreshadows the storyline further on in the film, but with the fun hand writing font it involves a creative and teen look to it.

Filming Practice shot 1.

Learning Comment:
In this task I learnt that having a realistic fall is actually quite hard to achieve without making it funny or not serious, with our serious storyline. Also, by doing this me and Imy now get an insight on what it will look like with Charlotte and Kieran being together as the main characters.

Sound

Learning Comment:
In this task Imy and I got an insight on what specific music we need to use for out storyline and we thought ambient based music fit perfectly. We looked at a few different ones and some sound effects for when she falls. We got a taster on different sounds films use and how important it is that they do match the storyline or else it is leading the audience to think differently.

Mind Map

Learning Comment:
In this task Imy and I learnt to store all our ideas together and to create a brief idea on both perspectives.

Script

Learning Comment:
During this task we used a template from word to outline our script so we were aware with how to correctly type it up without it looking scruffy. Having a script is very important in general as it helps us to follow something and to have a guide whilst we film.  I learnt how a script format is played out.

Task 17

Task 17 props & fashion from mona sasani



Learning Comment:
In this task i learnt how to be precise with giving my characters their own personalities by reflecting on what clothes they wear. It is important to give them specific clothing styles to emphasise who they really are as a character, Imy and I learnt more about how our characters are and what they are like.

Risk Assessment

Task 19 -Typography

Learning Comment:
In this task Imy and I learnt that different fonts will reflect different meanings towards the storyline. Majority of people picked the neat and tidy font for this specific genre, as it is a romance between two teenagers. We asked multiple people to get different insights on what people liked and disliked, this was a very handy solution as we wanted to pick something that would grab the target audiences attention.

Storyboard

Learning Comment:
This task helped us really organise the whole storyline together and to put it all in a storyboard to make it look a lot neater and to just briefly put it together introducing the 2 main characters.

task 12- Audience profile

Taask12 from mona sasani

Learning Comment:
In this task i learnt how to use the demographic and Psychographic way of categorising my characters and the target audience for our film. This helped a lot as i got to decide what type of people my characters would be attracting and what type of people they are. This is a good way of organising how to categorise characters and it gives us an insight on what we will be doing with them.

Task 12

Learning Comment:
In this task i learnt to specifically categorise our film based on its storyline and its theme of it being a coming of age romance film. It was slightly difficult to work out the gender target audience as it comes across being for females but the action and the harsh intense reality of the illness she suffers may be able to attract men that can relate with the characters.
