Editing Update/Idea

During the editing process, Maddy also recently created the first text message that we will put into our film. This will allow the audience an insight into what the antagonist is looking at and, therefore, make them feel as though they are have a part and they become more immersed.

Editing Update

This is an update on some of what my team member Maddy has been doing in terms of editing, and in particular, the credits. She used the same font (Pirulen) for these credits and for our title, after me and her did some research into some fonts used in popular films of our genre. We thought this one suited our production in particular due to it's kind of technological seeming text, which links with a theme of our production. We also thought it was simple but effective in the way that it doesn't distract from the scenes too much, but is still noticable.

28th January 2016

Yesterday, me and my team finally finished all of our filming for the opening! This time we thankfully had no problems with anything and didn't get sidetracked, so could get it done easily. Maddy is in the process of editing it and is almost done. We think it's looking really good!

Dialogue Script

Dialogue #1

Ext. Over-Shoulder Shot (Victim bumps into Antagonist in public area, but then runs)

Victim- "Oh, Sorry! (In a panicked way)

Close up Shot

Antagonist- "That was too easy..."

Dialogue #2

Ext. Medium Shot (Victim about to kick up branch in self-defence, in a forest area)

Antagonist- "Give me the device!"

Victim- "Sure... Here you go... (Sarcastically. Then hits Antagonist with branch)

Dialogue #3

Ext. Long,Low-Angle Shot (In farm location. Victim hunched with Antagonist standing over them. Phone at bottom with someone speaking  on the other end)

Person on Phone- "Agent?!"

Dialogue #4

Ext. Close-Up Shot (Antagonist answering call on the phone)

Antagonist- "Sorry, they're busy right now" (Then hangs up call and possibly laughs)

Dialogue #5

Ext. Medium Shot- (Antagonist following the victim after they get away

Antagonist- "You didn't have to die..."

We've decided to have such little dialogue in our film due to the amount of action it has. We think it'd break up the action sequences which is something we don't want since we want them to flow well.

Production Name/Title Ideas- 26th January 2016

Today, me and Maddy decided to start coming up with some ideas for our actual production name since we now have a firm understanding of the overview of what our film is.
We started by coming up with elements of our opening which we felt could help give inspiration for names if incorporated into them, either directly or indirectly. Then we decided to get some ideas from other people based on these and also searched up other existing relevant films to help give us more ideas. Finally, we got some official ideas by taking into account what we had gathered. Our top and most popular decision for our action film opening was the title 'Tech Runner'

We've also planned to trying do a focus group recording with a few people too, which will be based around the title ideas and just finding out their overall opinions on them. As well as planning to hopefully finish filming the last part of our production tomorrow.

Risk Assessment

Hazard/Risk	Level of Risk	Control
Weather	Low level	We will be wearing suitable clothing for any weather we might encounter and will keep an eye on forecast too, as well as bringing covers to protect equipment.
Anything likely to cause slips, trips or falls	Low level	We’ll be sure to clear any areas we use so that there is no potential for us to fall over anything. We will also wear suitable footwear for the areas too so that we don’t slip.
Setting up, use and taking down of equipment	Low level	We will always be careful when using any equipment to make sure we don’t harm any of us, or the equipment itself.
Manual handling	Low level	All equipment will be safely carried around and protected.
General tidiness, cleaning area and disposal of rubbish	Low level	We will clean up the areas again so that there is no possible risk of falling over anything and just keeping the filming areas tidy in general.
