Production log 15

A lot of issues came up this week such as the factors we had to deal with while re-filming if we chose to re-film we'd have to film to the whole opening again. This wasn't too bad because we already knew what we wanted the production to look like, we just had to adjust a few things to add to the fluidity of the production.

Eventually we re-filmed the opening three times after though this became a set back to our schedule this was also a big help because we could then compare footage from past takes and see what worked best and chose what we had from our video library to make the final cut.

Production Log 13/14

This week we have had quite a few issues when it came to filming such as weather conditions, filming in tight spaces and not being able to get a correct angle on shots, and keeping to our production schedule was quite difficult to keep to because initially it was built up around our actors and a problem we encountered was that our protagonist wasn't in our group and couldn't be available all the time. 

After filming we watched through the shots and thought that it alll would fit together onced edited, we allocated the first day of filning to filming the first half and the second day of filming we finished off our initial shots of the whole production. 

We found while shooting that we had to alter some shots somewhat, due to the restriction of space in the room we found that some of our initial shots had to be changed to make it more effective.

This week we decided on the typography and color which were going to be used for our final edited production. We again looked a real BSR films and how their credits and graphics were added. Most of which were very simple, clear to read and stuck to one color for all graphics not at all usually super-imposed, in the end decisions such as the size of the graphics, the color and the placement on the screen for each individual graphic. In the end we kept the graphics simple and they were made white on the bottom or top of the screen so it won't detract from anything the audience will see on screen.

What helped us make these decisions was watching real successful BSR films and seeing how they included graphics in their opening  sequence from films such as Adulthood, Ill Manors and Made in Britain. Looking at these three opening credits we found that the graphics were all very similar to each-other with the exception of size and font, while the main color: white, was choose by all three. 

As you can see even the main title is white which shows the significance of using plain typography while choosing graphics to follow the main conventions of using graphics within the BSR genre.
