This is another groups continuity task. From watching this, I believe that the group have taken into account the 180 degree rule and also the use of many different shot lengths. However when watching the task, I believe that some of the scenes were cut to quickly. This has happened at 0.07 and 0.25 seconds. This does not help the audience to understand the theme. Furthermore after the cut at 0.24 the camera is a bit shaky. However this would be due to the position of the camera. This is not effective to the audience. Although the over the shoulder shot at 0.37 is effective as it shows the views from the opposite character. The music/ sound at 0.48 creates a tensed atmosphere as the door is closing and the character is shown from a birds eye view angle. The use of a multiple of different shot lengths and angles is effective to the audience. At the start the zoom out from the locker was slow and stady giving the audience time to view the suroundings. This is effective as the audience can see the surroundings before a close up is used. Overall I believe that this is a good continuity task, with only one or two aspects that could of made it better.

Final Storyboard
After reviewing our other storyboard we realised that we hadn't taken into account the length of the shots and also the transitions form one shot to another. This is when we sat down and discussed as a group the shot lengths and the transitions.
To start of with, we cut up our storyboard and stuck it into the wall. By doing this is enabled for me to see how important getting the storyboarding stage right can be, and how it can impact on the rest of our opening title sequence. Our first shot was going to be our production company name followed by a fade out. By fading out here it allows for the audience to now that there is a scene change and also that the title sequence is about to start. When looking at our storyboard we realised that to grab the audiences attention we needed a close up of Big Ben instead of a mid shot. This would then be followed by a black out which would then lead into the mid shot of Big Ben. After each establishing shot there is a black out to establish the change in location/view. For example we started off with a close up of one of the pods on the London Eye. This then followed by a black out to a mid shot, black out and then a long shot. This is going to be extremely quick with only 2 seconds per shot. This will allow for this to happen so that we have enough time for the rest of the content.
At the end of our title sequence we were restricting ourselves in our titles. Originally we decided to use the music of Mission Impossible. However this meant that our titles could only be 20 seconds. This needs to be rethought about. The ending of our title sequence were the credits are displayed is going to be an image of a blueprint being drawn onto the screen, with the writing appearing over the top of it. This idea has come about from watching previous films.
Below is the image of our final storyboard:
From reviewing the storyboard it has helped me to release how many possible other ways there was of making or opening title sequence effective. Furthermore it has also helped me to realise how important it is to be able to visualise the storyboard and what the end product will be like at this stage of the process. By standing back and laying the storyboard out as above it has made it easier to see the changes that we needed to make and the outcome that this has made. Now that we have created this storyboard we need to go back to our target audience and interview them about this storyboard. One of the questions we should ask them is can they actually visualise our storyboard. If they cannot and this is the case throughout our target audience then we should go back to the storyboard and rethink what can we do to make our target audience be able to visualise our storyboard. Secondly we could also ask them about what they think could be added in or improved upon. This will enabled us to get an understanding of what our target audience thinks about the storyboard.

Problem!
Whilst reviewing our storyboard, we had to go back and do a bit more research. For example when reviewing it we realised that maybe we should look further into the shot lengths and how long each transition was. We come across this problem when we started to estimate how long we thought each shot would be we didn't actually know how long they should be. We went onto YouTube and watched many clips to help us to understand and different lengths the transitions and shots can be. This has helped us as now we can estimate how much footage we should have when following this storyboard. We had to get this right so that when it came to creating our animatic we would have the length of the shots correct and also the transitions.

Lesson Summary
In today's lesson we as a group had a discussion with Mr Ford. When talking to our teacher we realised that we were restricting ourselves in therms of the amount of footage and titles we can have at the end of our title sequence. We had originally planned to use the first 20 seconds of Mission Impossible. However this restricts the whole of our opening as we would be restricted as to how much time we had. This made us realise that we need to change our idea for our music as we cannot be restricting ourselves.
Today we also cut up our storyboard and stuck it on the wall. By this doing it was clear to how that we hadn't taken into account our length of our shots and the transitions between them. By doing this it made me realise how much detail we needed to put into the storyboard. We decided that in between our opening establishing shot we should have blackouts. This allows for the audience to know that there is going to be a change. Furthermore I feel that we need to storyboard our animation of the blueprint so we as a group know exactly what is happening as at the moment it is a bit vague and were not exactly sure on how this is going to work. In our next lesson we are going to make many more changes and add more things in to make our storyboard much more effective.

The Sixth Sense Lesson Summary
Today as a class we all watched a documentary on the storyboard process of The Sixth Sense. The documentary in which we watched was about the director M. Night Shyamalan and his thought process in the planning stage and also how the planning stage is so important as it can impact on the overall outcome. M. Night Shyamalan said that the by using a storyboard it helps him to visualise what is going to happen during the filming process and also the end product. When shown the storyboard in which he creates they are in full detail. This includes the positioning of characters, the lightning of the scene, the types of shots used. By him planning the exact position of the characters it helps him the visualise the outcome. This also helps him to visualise how the audience will see and interpret this. This has reinforced to me how important the storyboard process actually is. Furthermore by creating a storyboard it will save time as this can be referred back too. The process of making the story board usually take 12-16 weeks. This helps in the post-production and editing stages.
From watching this documentary, it has helped me to understand how important the storyboarding and planning process is. From looking at Shyamalan storyboard it has shown me how detailed a storyboard actually needs to be. By doing this it will allow myself and my group to visualise how our overall opening of a title sequence will look like. This has made me realise that we need to go back and look at our storyboard and make sure that we can visualise how its going to look and also what is going to happen. If we can't then we need to go into much more detail in terms of the positioning of the characters and the transitions etc. By creating a detailed storyboard it will help when it comes to editing and also will make our post-production stage easier. If we did not do this, then during post production we might need to re-shot costing a lot of time Overall, from watching this documentary i t has mad me realise the importance of the storyboarding process.

Presentation On Binary Opposition
I presented this PowerPoint to the class. One reason why I choose to do my PowerPoint on Binary Opposition was because this was the topic in which I wanted to refresh my knowledge on as I couldn't remember the information. From creating this PowerPoint it has allowed me to refresh my memory and also to learn more about the topic.

The Grammer of TV and Film
For myself to be able to understand the language of TV and Film I
looked at the basic terms. These basic terms will help me when it comes
to evaluating and will help with my understanding of these terms.
Auteur: This is the french for "author" who is the director
Diegesis: This includes objects, events, spaces and the characters that inhabit them. Including things, action and attitudes which are not explicitly presented in the film but inferred by the audience.
Editing: The joining together of clips of the film into a single filmstrip.
Flashback/ Flash forward:A jump backwards and forwards in a diegetic time. When using flashbacks and flash forwards the order of the events in the plot are no longer matching the order of events.
Focus: The degree at which light rays coming from any particular part of an object or through the lens. The depth of the field through shallow focus and deep focus and racking focus.
Genres: Types of films that are recognised by the audience and producers. These are distinguished by the narrative conventions.
Mise-en-scene: Everything that is "put in the scene". The setting, the decor, the lighting, the costumes, the performance etc.
Story/Plot: Labelled as fabula and syuzhet, the story refers to what the audience infers about the events that occur in the diegesis on the basis of what they have been shown by the plot. The events that are directly presented within the film. The order, duration and the settings of these events.
Scene/Sequence: A segment of a narrative film that usually takes place in a single time and place, which is often between characters.
Shot: A single stream of images which are uninterrupted by editing. The shot can use a static or mobile framing, a standard or non standard frame rate but it must be continuous.
This research will help me when it comes to analysing other work in the further for example title sequences. It will also help me when analysing as film as I will be able to use this information to help myself. This will enable me to look back at these definitions when I need to use them.

Shot Distances and Angles
When in the process of making a film, it is important that a variety of different shots length and angles are used. By using different shots it helps the audience to engage with the characters more and also keeps them interested in what is happening. Furthermore by using different shots it allows for the audience see a variety of different views.
Long Shot: A shot where the camera is at its furthest distance from the subject. This shot show all or most of the subject which is being shot for example a person.
Establishing Shot: Establishes the location where the film is being filmed in and is used to set the scene.
Close Up: Here the size of the person within the frame is large allowing for the head and the start of the neck to be seen filling up most of the frame. This shows a fairly small part of the scene for example the character face as explained above.
Medium Shot or Mid Shot: The subject or actor and its setting have equal areas within the frame. For example if an actor was standing up, you would see up until the waist of the person. Hand gestures can be seen.
Medium Close-up: In this shot the setting can still be seen. However, here the frame line passes through the chest of the actor. For example the head and shoulders of an actor.
Two-Shot: A shot of two people, which is framed similarly to a mid shot where the frame line passes through the lower part of the waist.
Point of View shot (POV): This shot is made from the position of the camera to the sight line of the actor. This allows the audience to see what this character is seeing or watching.
Shot-Reverse-Shot: A number of shots which alternate between the characters. This type of shot is usually used between some dialogue. This allows the audience to see for example the reaction of a character to what has been said.
Shot Angles:
The angle of shot is the direction and the height at which the camera takes the scene. In a high angle the camera will look down upon a character, making the viewer feel and seem more powerful than the character themselves. A low angle shot, places the camera below the character which emphasise the importance of this character.
View-Point: The distance and angle from which the camera views and records the subject.
Selective Focus: This shot renders only a specific part of the action in a sharp focus through the use of a shallow depth. For example the shift of focus from the foreground to the background.
Titled Shot: This is when the camera is titled making the vertical lines appear slanted to the left or the right. This shot can create a sense of unease in the viewer.
Bird's Eye View: This shows a scene from directly overhead an unnatural angle. The shot puts the audience in a position of powerfulness as they are looking down upon the characters making the characters look insignificant.
Camera Movement:
Zoom: In this camera movement the camera itself does not move. The lens is focused from a long-shot to a close-up whilst the image is still being shown. This works by the subjects being magnified, and the attention is concentrated on details previously invisible as the shot tightens. When zooming out, more of the zoom or location is revealed which widens the shot.
Tracking: This involves the camera itself being moved smoothly either towards or away from the subject. When tracking in, it draws the viewer into a closer and more intense relationship between the subject. When tracking back it diverts the attention to the edge of the screen.
Panning: When panning the camera scans the scene horizontally which is typically used to give a panoramic effect or to follow a subject.
Hand Held Camera: This can produce a jerky, bouncy and unsteady image. This could create a sense of chaos. However if not done right it can produce a bad image.
From referring back to the different types of shots it has helped me to realise that when filming the opening we need to use a variety of shot distances. By using a variety of shot distances, it will hopefully keep the audience interested in what is happening. Furthermore by using these in our opening it will create variety. I have also learnt that we need to use a variety of camera movements and also camera angles.
Long Shot: A shot where the camera is at its furthest distance from the subject. This shot show all or most of the subject which is being shot for example a person.

Storyboard
After discussing as a group that we should refine our plot to make sure that it fits in with the opening two minutes, we created our second storyboard. This storyboard is our new idea with the Trafalgar Square and the alley way scene cut out of it. With this we have also included the type of shot, movement of the camera and the location which the shot is in.
As this was our second storyboard, we basically knew that we wanted to put onto it and what we were aiming for after discussion. However in our first storyboard our ideas we fresh, and we didn't really take into consideration the amount of time we had to fill. We were also not certain on a few of the ideas as these were ideas that we thought would be effective at the time and would fit in with the plot. From re-doing our storyboard, it has given me a clear image of how our title sequence it now going to look and also the order of it. Secondly this storyboard has also helped me to create a clear image of the emotions we are trying to portray throughout. Lastly, this has helped me to understand how we are going to be creating it through the use of the camera,editing, sound and mise-en-scene. Overall I am now much more aware and have a clearer image of what our title sequence will look like and also the order of which it is going to fun.
Development of our Idea
As a group we presented our idea to our teacher and to the rest of the class. From presenting our idea it allowed our teacher to understand our idea. From the beginning we knew that our ideas was big and that it would be a lot of work, although from our discussion we realised that our plot in general was far to complicated for an opening two minutes of a title sequence. Instead of establishing the story we were focusing on telling the story. This is when we realised we were trying to take on two much for our opening. If we had not thought about this, when filming and editing we would have had a problem as we were telling the story in to much detail instead of just establishing the plot. We also would have not had enough footage as each scene would not have been long enough and we would only be telling half of the story.
When we first came up with our idea, this is not what we wanted to happen. This is when we went away as a group and discussed this issue. From our discussion we have come to an agreement of what we are going to do. We are going to stick with our initial idea, although we are going to alter and adjust the plot so that it makes 2 minutes. The first part of the opening in which we have decided to cut out is the Trafalgar Square scene. This was decided upon as on reflection of our initial storyboard we realised that this scene was irrelevant to what we were trying to establish. The second part we have also decided to cut out is with the male character walking down the alley way. Again here, the audience do not need to see him walking down the alley way. By cutting these two scenes out it has considerably cut our plot down. However, from doing this we still have enough of the plot to be able to change and develop anything that we need to do in a later stage.
From presenting our idea to our teacher and to the class it has helped us as a group to realise that we were taking on something far to big for what were were wanting to establish. I have come to realise as an individual how to develop an idea so that it is effective with less detail. This has helped me to realise that it is that we were taking on to big of a task. I also am now aware and realise that we didn't need our idea to be full of detail. It will be more effective if its shorter and does have as much detail. From this task, I believe I now understand how to develop an idea to make it much more effective and also how having less detail can be much more effective than having lots of detail and it being far to complicated for an opening.

Costumes and Props
For our thriller title sequence, we are going to need to use some props. The props in which we are thinking about using is a blueprint and also a smart phone. Below is an idea of the props in which we are going to use.
Blueprint:
Smart Phone:
Another one of our props we have decided to use is a smart phone. From researching and looking at many different types of smart phones, it has become easy for us to decide which one we would like to use in our opening. The smart phone in which we are intending on using is an Iphone4. One reason why we have chosen to use this type of phone is because it is stylish and modern. It also fits in with the style we are trying to create and also matches the style of the criminal himself. This phone will also be easy to get hold of as Amy and Josh both have one.
In our opening for our title sequence, we will need to have two main costumes. One for the female role and one for the male role. From thinking about our character themselves, we have got some outfits in mind in which we might want them to wear. Below is a few images of the type of style and outfit we would be aiming for:
Blueprint:
A blueprint is going to be used when our character of 'Hugo' ( the criminal) opens this up onto the table in the cafe. This then leads into our title sequence. From searching different types of blueprints it has become noticeable that there is not one available to use. One reason for this is because we would like our blueprint to be of the Tower of London. Now that we have got an idea on the layout of blueprint, we will be able to base ours upon this. As a group we have decided that we are going to make our own blueprint and will be able to refer back to these two images to help us.
Smart Phone:
Another one of our props we have decided to use is a smart phone. From researching and looking at many different types of smart phones, it has become easy for us to decide which one we would like to use in our opening. The smart phone in which we are intending on using is an Iphone4. One reason why we have chosen to use this type of phone is because it is stylish and modern. It also fits in with the style we are trying to create and also matches the style of the criminal himself. This phone will also be easy to get hold of as Amy and Josh both have one.
Costumes:
In our opening for our title sequence, we will need to have two main costumes. One for the female role and one for the male role. From thinking about our character themselves, we have got some outfits in mind in which we might want them to wear. Below is a few images of the type of style and outfit we would be aiming for:
The Male:
For the male character, we had in mind a black suit with a purple shirt and and open collar. By Hugo ( male character) wearing a black suit, it signifies to us a 'criminal' look. The purple shirt signifies royalty and also the wealthiness of a person ( in this case rich). This is a link to him stealing the crown jewels as they are royalty and also are worth a fortune. However the open collar makes him seem relaxed as well as still looking smart.
The Female:
For the female character, we need her to be stylish and smart. As the female is working for MI5 she needs to look smart and intelligent. For this character we had in mind a black suit and a patterned top. To portray feminity we also would like the female to be wearing a skirt instead of trousers. This will hopefully create a smart and sophisticated look.
Actors and Actresses
At this stage of the planning process we need to think about our actors and actresses. At the moment we are unsure who we want to cast for our two main characters. However we do have some people in mind.
Below are the images of the people we are considering:
Male Role:
When it came to choosing our actor and actress, we wanted to make sure we had a range of people to choose from. Above are the images in which we took of the two males and two females. One reason why we did was so that when it came to choosing our actors we had to take into consideration age,gender,race and ethnicity etc. This enabled us to make sure we were choosing the right stereotypes for our characters.
From reflecting upon this, we as a group have decided to cast Chelsea Davison for the female role and Daniel Pirie. We choose Chelsea as our female role as we believed she would represent the image in which we are trying to create for the MI5 worker which is stylish and well presented. We believe that Chelsea portrays all of these.
We also choose Daniel for our male role as he as already got some acting experience. This will be beneficial as he will be reliable and also will hopefully be able to give the best performance.
Continuing on with our character for our title sequence, we need an 'audience in MI5. For this we are planning to use our media class. However the only problem with this is because the rest of the class are all females. To overcome this problem we will ask other males if they will be willing to be filmed for our coursework. We choose to use our media class for this part of our title sequence as they will be the most reliable as we are in a class with them so it wouldn't have to take up any of there spare time.
So that we can get the best results possible, we will need to take into consideration and rely on our actors and actresses for reliability for when and where we need them. In addition to this, to be able to keep the continuity we need to make sure that our actors know that they wont be able to change their looks during the filming. By them changing their looks this will hinder our footage and will mean that we will have to re-shoot costing us valuable time and also their time as well.
In this stage of the process, I have now come to realise how much we need to take into consideration when it came to casting our characters. I now know and understand the depth we had to go into the make sure that we casted the right people for the character in which we were trying to create. Without casting the right person for the role, we could create the wrong image and a completing different image to what we were intending to do. Lastly, I now am aware that we had to take into consideration the age, gender, race and ethnicity etc, of the people in which we wanted to cast as our characters.
Below are the images of the people we are considering:
Male Role:
 |
| Tameem Rahman |
 |
| Daniel Pirie |
Female Role:
 |
| Sophie Mooney |
 | ||
| Chelsea Davison |
From reflecting upon this, we as a group have decided to cast Chelsea Davison for the female role and Daniel Pirie. We choose Chelsea as our female role as we believed she would represent the image in which we are trying to create for the MI5 worker which is stylish and well presented. We believe that Chelsea portrays all of these.
We also choose Daniel for our male role as he as already got some acting experience. This will be beneficial as he will be reliable and also will hopefully be able to give the best performance.
Continuing on with our character for our title sequence, we need an 'audience in MI5. For this we are planning to use our media class. However the only problem with this is because the rest of the class are all females. To overcome this problem we will ask other males if they will be willing to be filmed for our coursework. We choose to use our media class for this part of our title sequence as they will be the most reliable as we are in a class with them so it wouldn't have to take up any of there spare time.
So that we can get the best results possible, we will need to take into consideration and rely on our actors and actresses for reliability for when and where we need them. In addition to this, to be able to keep the continuity we need to make sure that our actors know that they wont be able to change their looks during the filming. By them changing their looks this will hinder our footage and will mean that we will have to re-shoot costing us valuable time and also their time as well.
