Film Opening - Mise-En-Scene

Production Logo

We have created our production title of 'Ginger Nut Productions'. This is our own unique idea and the whole group was involved with making the final piece, as we individually decorated a gingerbread person each so that it looked like us as we feel this makes our production logo much more personal. Arren did the main animation as the rest of the group have been editing. She has done it simply and made it clear exactly what it says for our logo. This shows our creativity and individual taste, this is very different to what any other group has done as well, giving us more benefit in a unique logo.

This is the picture that we created and we really liked it. We were happy enough with this to upload this on to the computer and to start to edit it with Photoshop were able to move the letters and ginger bread men around to create a more even spaced logo. 

Photoshop was really useful as we could use the layers within it to create a full picture. 
We individually saved these layers so when we uploaded them onto moviemaker it would be easier to animate our production logo. 

Once we had saved all the individual layers we were able to create our opening titles on moviemaker.

We are really happy with our production logo and think it will stand out from the rest it is homemade and original.

BBFC

The BBFC’s Watch & Rate service allows content owners, rights holders, distributors and platforms to obtain cost-effective digital age ratings.This is a non - governmental rating from ratings U - R18. It considers the context, tone and impact that consists through out the whole fim taking point of the main issues which include:

discrimination, drugs, horror, imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, theme and violence.

Violence	Little to No Violence
Language	Moderate, Mild Language not dwelled upon
Sex/Nudity	Mild References to Sex and Nudity
Themes	Romance, humour, conflict.

 
 Considering the information from the above table on our Rom Com film 'I Can Explain' we have rated our film as a 12. This rating is quite common in Rom Com films and since the content of our film is very similar to other Rom Com's we decided to use a 12 as our rating also considering all of the above information and the main issues to consider in a BBFC rating.

Editing Update

This week we have been editing all the lucy and jay clips which have been more difficult than the bridget and johnathan clips as they are outside. Although the filming went well when we watched the clips back we had missed out on some of the problems with the footage as one of the shots has the boom in it which caused a problem at first but we have been able to solve the problem and now we are back on track to finishing our 2 minute film opening! 

Filming Update

Today we will be filming all of the footage for Jay and Lucy, hopefully everything will go well so we won't have to re-shoot anything. We are all a bit worried about the sound as we have found out that we haven't got a long enough lead for the boom and the weather is letting us down as it is very windy.. hopefully the audio will be good enough!

Editing Update

This week we have been able to edit all of the Bridget and Johnathan shots which means we are now ready for the rest of the 2 minute film opening! Although i think we all underestimated how difficult editing can be as we all had different opinions and ideas for each clip.

Editing Update

Today we have been able to look at the footage we took at the weekend, we are all very impressed at all the different shots. The day went really well, not only did we film everything we need and more, we also ate chocolate, biscuits and drank many cups of tea. Now it's time to get editing!

Filming Update

Today we are filming all the scenes with Bridget and Johnathan, as we have finally been able to organise a weekend when they are both free. Hopefully it will all go well otherwise its going to be difficult to re-organise  both actors to shoot the footage again!
