Re-shooting

Date	Time	Attend	Film
20th November	3:30pm		We re-shot the outside scenes as they came out too dark on the Macs and also some of our scenes got deleted on the camera.

Our Production Logo

 The first video is of my production logo, Crystal Clear Productions, which I made on my own using After effects on the Macs. This version is just showing the effects I used with out no sound.

 This second version is the finished version. This version of my production logo has sound on which I got from Garage Band. The sound of this is not what i wanted at first which was the sound of shattered glass as it would have fit perfectly with the logo as my logo shatters but finding this sound of a space shuttle creates a different effect which is cool.

Production Logos

I've researched in to different famous production logos so that I have an idea of how my production logo will look like. This will help me to see how most production logos have been designed and how it represents them and a film company.

The name of my production logo is Crystal Clear Productions and For my production logo I have an idea that I want the the words to be in clear white colour with a back lighting and then suddenly the words shatter in to pieces of glass flying to wards the screen and the screen then goes black.

After Effects

To make out production logo we used a softwear on the Macs which is called After effects. This softwear helps you to create openings for films with out filming anything.

Practice Test Lesson

Our first lesson using the softwear was Friday the 12th November where we were taught my the technition teacher how to use the softwear so that we are familiour with it and can use it our selves when making our proper production logo.

It's a very dificult softwear to use and the instructions which were given by the teacher kinda confused me and my partner which ended up with our practise logo not turning out like everyone else's.

We got help in the end and was tuaght face to face how it worked but then again it didn't come out like everyone else's and we got a bit stuck on what most of the functions were. We were told to then go experiment with the softwear but ended up runining our practise logo.

However we were told that we could come to study support after school every tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to get help from the teacher's and create the final production logo.

Our idea for our production logo is for the words to be in clear white with a backgroudn light shining through it and then for the words to shatter in glass peices towards the screen and then for the screen to go black.

GarageBand

For our film opening me and my partner decided create out own music but using similar sounds from different films as out inspiration such as The Orphanage as their music is very creepy like and builds suspense.

The Orphanage trailer

As my partner was busy with her other subjects I created the music on my own after school using Garageband, a program where you have different instrument sounds to create your own music. It took me a while to find good instruments which will be suitable for my music as I wanted a specific piano tune as the piano creates a very horror type tune as is used widely in most horror films.

I didn't just want a piano beat in the music but also a drum beat and string instruments. I found a really deep string instrument tune which I used as it was very good and used it half way through the piano tune to signify tension building up. Then as the music grew closer to the end i put in a deep drum beat to signify something about to happen. This part of the music will take place when the female character is slowly walking to wards her bedroom.

The last part of the music, both the drum and string music stop and the piano is left playing on it's own which will be when the character is about to open the wardrobe. When the little girl in the mask jumps out at her that's when a suspense type tune blasts out loud and then then the music stops.

This is a screen shot of our music on Garageband.

This is out music which will be playing when our main character comes closer to the wardrobe where something is hiding.

Behind the scene

This is a shot of me holding the camera as we were getting ready to shoot the bedroom scene.

Here I was testing the camera out in the room to see is the lighting was correct enough so that our shots don't come out too dark.
