So then.

Obviously I'm not satisfied with the quality of the pictures, and the way Blogger does things is beyond me, I can't figure out how to change the orientation of the previous post, but there are one or two pictures there that do us some justice, so don't give up on us yet :)

Recce Shots!

Right, just went out and suffered the cold for a little bit to get these shots done, I've been meaning to do it all weekend but stuff kept getting in the way :) Because of Blogger's quite frankly SILLY way of doing things I'll have to get Jack to sort out this picture layout, but for now these are four of the shot's we'll be using, NOT in chronological order (Thank you Blogger)

Pre-recce-shot info

Will here!
I'm going to wait for it to get dark this evening and go out to take all of the shots that I drew on our storyboard. I'll be taking the pictures via the camera on my phone because in honesty I don't own a digital camera with a better camera than my phone. My phone uses an 8 Megapixel camera anyway, so it shouldn't be that bad.
anyway, Those should be up here at some point tonight, provided that my laptop functions smoothly.

Title ideas! Part 2..

Using relevant pictures, (as we have not filmed yet or taken pictures of our location), I have created some title credits using pictures of alleyways and street roads (like what will be in our film).

Like the title credits for Panic Room, I tried integrating the text into the background/ environment. I used my name as a template:





With some text opacity editing:





I think this gives a nicer effect then the text just appearing on a black background or even just appearing on the shot. However this could be difficult to do.

Title ideas!

We have decided how the beginning titles will appear ("Pluto Pictures" and "a JAW production").

But we haven't discussed how the other titles will appear (our names; "Will Shaw", "Jack.." etc.. and possibily "produced by.." etc.)

I love the concept of the titles being integrated within the movie instead of appearing on a black background. Like the opening credits to Panic Room:



I like how the titles integrate with the enviroment/ background. The text's style is similar to the buildings and I also like how the text is positioned at the same angle as the buildings.

I am going to have a go on photoshop to create a similar effect and will post it up later.

Character codes.

Antagonist (Jack):
A very mysterious figure. Very little information is given about this character. A methodical killer that is focused on killing for a reason. A confident killer that knows what he is doing.

Victim (Will):
A boisterous young man that is up to date with modern times. A socialistic character that has an interest in rock music. Finds himself in a difficult situation where you can see his real personality - fear.

Protagonist (Andrew):
A sophisticated investigator that has the history to show he is capable of catching the killer. A very traditional and stereotypical investigator that works hard and will do anything to complete the job.
