Pitch evaluation

3 Targets:

- Share work in the group equally
- Become more familiar with the uses and benefits of sound
- Make a shot by shot remake and story board

Branding my blog

 

On our blog we decided to change the background template to this as our film is a teen crime drama, so with this image it shows a gun, handcuffs and masks. although a gun will not be used in our film violence is still influences our film.

Importance of sound

Importance of sound

What is sound: Sound is produced by vibrations that are continuous / regular.

In film sound is used to establish a clear tone or atmosphere. It can also be used to help give the audience a better idea about the plot, characters or to identify the genre of the film. World famous director George Lukas, director of Star Wars argues that sound is 50%, meaning that sound is just as important as the actual filming.

When watching a title sequence without sound it was very boring, I was not very interested in watching the movie and i had a bad understanding of the plot of the film. However, when watching the same title sequence again but this time with sound I felt more alert and was not as easily distracted because I was interested and had a good understanding of the plot of the movie.

Genre Shortlist

3 genres to choose from for my own title sequence:

1. Crime

2. Thriller

3. Comedy

The Film- Callum

I tried to find the title to our movie through a random title generator and the results were not anything which looked good enough for our title.

Instead our group came together and decided that the title of our movie should be The Runner

Outline of film: A young male's older brother has been put into jail because of a snitch. The snitch's whereabouts are unknown as he has been put in to witness protection so the younger male spends his time searching for the snitch (who is on the run) to get revenge .
.
Outline of title sequence: Men in a car having a brief discussion about the attack they are about to perform, they then drive off and meet up with more of their gang members, they then reach their victims flat and burst open the main flats door. Meanwhile, while this is happening the victim is taking out his rubbish unaware of whats about to happen.

What type of title sequence we will use

For our title sequence we plan on having a simple plain background to show our credits, with mostly likely white bold writing. Although, we will still test and look at other styles.

Institutional Details-Owen

As part of planning our pitch, I am looking at institutional detail.

The first part of this was defining our film as independent or mainstream. Before this I found out the defenitions of both terms:

Mainstream is a term that usually refers to the common current of thought of the majority, meaning that "mainstream" things are those that are currently popular with most people. It is most often applied in the arts (i.e., music, literature, and performance).

An independent film or indie film is a feature film that is produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system, in addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment agencies.

Our film is independent because it is being produced outside of the major film companies.

As well as this I looked at films of a similar genre to ours and see how they're distributed:

Brotherhood:

Brotherhood was distributed by lionsgate. We want to distribute our film similar to theirs.

Lionsgate had the film in cinemas and advertised across London. The film was even advertised on the side of double decker busses. Because of this and the success the film Brotherhood had, we want Lionsgate to distribute our film.

This is the ident of our production company.
