Continued editing.
All the shots have now been sorted and ordered, we have removed the unwanted footage and initial rough edits have been started. we did not have time to finish a rough edit but it is well underway.
Our intro still needs some work with more pictures and graphics to be made however we have planned extra sessions so that we will have enough time to finish before the deadline.

Lunar films.
We decided upon the name of our film company. The name we decided to use was "Lunar Films" to accompany this we have created multiple company logos and will get feed back on witch we should use. For out logo we used a bold and clear black and white colour scheme.
As part of choosing our name we did research into any per existing lunar films, due to our research we fount one company going by this name this company is an advert making company and it should be fine for us to use this name. However one of out designs is very similar to the preexisting company's logo and so it is unlikely that we will use this design.

Legendary Pictures production logo.
The Legendary pictures logo is a very simple and minimalistic logo. the logo contains the company icon and the company name.
The text is written in a very clear and large font, there is no ambiguity as to which company this belongs to as the text is large and well spaced this is an advantage as the company's logo is only shown for a limited time and so it makes it easy to understand and read for all members of society.
The colour scheme is heavily dependent on the film in question and what would fit within the genre and style. however the general scheme is a gold or silver colour on a black background, this is most common however it is not always the case. These bold colours are eye catching and draw you to the logo while the black background gives a sense of professionalism while maintaining the viewers attention on the important information in the logo.
The companys celtic symbol is a simple and memorable logo that can be instantly recognised as Legendary pictures. the icon itself also has its own meaning as it is a celtic symbol dating back to 5000 BC. The use of a pre established symbol that has deep meaning and connection to eternity, unity and strength. the simplicity of the symbol is once again good as it helps the viewer to remember it and not be forgettable by being too complex but too boring by being very simple.
by using a symbol that has remained unchanges for a long time builds up brand recognition it is helped by the simpliciy yet unique nature of the symbol that is eisily remembered. Ever since the company was started in 2004 the logo has remained the same with slight variations between films to fit in to the setting.

This was used for the film 300. it is quite stylised and uses a stone look to seem old, this fits in to the films style.
This Logo was used in the film watchmen it is a dark and depressing logo on a stormy cloud background this helps add to the dark and depressing atmosphere along with the gritty aesthetic.
Initial shooting.
Our first attempt at shooting returned mixed results. It was good as it helped us to perfect our shooting technique and timing however the footage contained a few continuity errors and all of the footage was rendered useless as the weather worked against us, in the form of snow that started just after our initial shot and continued so that it accumulated over the course of he shoot.
We also realized the importance of choosing the right time and location for the set to not change along with paying greater attention to the mise en scene.

Intentions
In our opening titles we intend to use images that combine the ideas of stereotypical vampires with that of everyday life.
To do this we will use lots of images that use blood and other things as well as crucifixes along with everyday activities and objects like breakfast.

Recee for bedroom - Lewis
This is the bedroom and bathroom that the second portion of our film will be set in. This is a private residence with the owners permission.
The set has internal lighting with the possibility to add additional lights.
This is a very safe filming location as the environment is easily controlled and it has fast and easy access to emergency supplies and treatment.
Textual analysis: Blade - Lewis
The film blade starts with an opening montage that leads in to the initial action sequence. the montage has two sections the first section is a montage of the city that the film is set in and the second part is a party section where we follow a man trough a rave full of vampires.
we follow a single man through the a crowd that shuns him. blood then starts to pour and we discover that the rave is full of vampires.
The initial camera work is used to set the scene and create a sense of mystery, this is done by using many long shots of a large bustling city. Many drawn out long shots help to set the scene of a typical big city and draw us into its less policed areas. this starts to change when we come to a building, long swooping shots follow an man and woman through a factory with hanging animal corpse, this is very suspicious and leaves the reader with many questions. It is important to note that all the shots up to this point of the character we are following have been high angle looking down no him, to create a sense of vulnerability and he does not belong.we then take the place of the character and are beckoned through the doors into the rave.
The camera work used in the opening sections is used to make the audience curious as to who the characters are and what is happening, this is easily seen in the rave segment. the shots now change to many fast closeups and the occasional slower mid shot to show the whole crowd. the camera work makes the male we follow seem to not fit in and be at odds with the others in the crowd. shots that make him look trapped by walls of strange people create a great sense of intrigue and danger.
throughout all this the opening credits and institutional information is playing.
the lighting between the two segments help to create a sense of juxtaposition of the world of vampires and humans. In the first section it has bright happy normal lighting however when we enter the club the lighting undergoes a drastic change. the rave is dark grimy with only low levels of red light, this adds to the sense of intrigue but also to the claustrophobia and hostile atmosphere.
the sound used in this scene is mostly the club techno that fits into the rave setting and adds to the sense of an overwhelming atmosphere. however there is also an occasional threat or hiss from the crowd directed at the character we are following, this increases the sense of not belonging but also create intrigue as to who they really are.
from here it leads into the initial fight scene between blade and the vampire crowd, this is a strong way of opening a film and setting the protagonist.

Opinions on the pitch - Lewis
Lewis - In my opinion the pitch went very well. i feel that we managed to clearly get across the majority of the information about the film, however we were not as clear on some aspects like the opening credits as we could have been. But overall, I feel we did quite well and people understood what we said.

bbfc title research. - Lewis
A film with a rating of 15 is able to be set on a number of topics, and as long as it is treated in an appropriate manner for people of 15 then any topic is allowed.
In terms of content the 15 age rating is very open and allows for a lot of freedom as long as the film is approached in a sensible manner. the freedom is most apparent in its treatment of language, as the use of frequent strong language is allowed and only the strongest language had the condition of being used only in context. strong horror and menace is also permitted unless sadistic or sexual.Violence is very open however the strongest gore and sadistic or sexual violence is not permitted. it is also important to note that the film should not dwell on dangerous behavior that is imitable.
Nudity and sex may be shown without strong detail, however strong verbal detail is permitted if in context.
The 18 rating means that the content is free to include any material as long as it follows a few rules :
The content does not break the law and has not been made through criminal offenses.
The content does not risk harming individuals or the community (endorse drug use or endorse sexual violence).
Material of explicit and graphic sexual activity better defined by the R18 category.

Lewis - Film outline planning
Today we started to decide the details of our film. This included deciding the amount of shots, shot length and the specific action in the shots. So far we have planned up to the end of the title section and the start of the actual scene.
We then discussed the importance of a storyboard and split our outline between our group to produce a storyboard.
