research into titles: Zombieland

"Zombieland" is a film about the world being taken over by zombies. The film opens part of the film then the titles. the titles are unique because they are all in slow motion and have the writing moving as if what they have filmed e.g. the bullet hitting the writing is real.

9 Frames of our titles

These are the frames from our film "The Secrets Of Mr Myles". these 9 frames contain how we have decided to set out our titles. using the idea of the 9 titles from my previous post "cloudy with a chance of meatballs", we created one of our own like it.

scripting

Our new video contained no dialogue. This meant we didn't need a script. this was very helpful to time that we had.

The numbers

http://www.the-numbers.com/ is the website we used when we were doing some audience research. this website lets you see what genres are mostly watched, the charts and any of the facts and figures you wish to find out.

complete change

over the past 2-3 months I haven't really blogged but in that time me and Sabrina have been really busy. we had a complete change of idea again, we came across some complications with our idea for "those five boys". Our film turned out to be more like a music video. we decided to keep a lot of what we had already filmed and we just filmed a little part just for  our new idea.
Change in idea
our new idea was we were going to keep our first name "The secrets of Mr Myles" but change the idea completely. we kept the name, the font (chiller) and we also kept the original music we chose. what we did was changed the idea from a scrapbook to someone being kidnapped when she is going out to meet some friends. Our actor, Aimee Griffin, was kept as part of our film and we added in our other actor, Bethany Jackson, as the kidnapper. we never changed the name of our actors into a character just to give it a slight feel of reality. 
Aimee would be getting ready to go out with her friends and she would leave her house alone. as she is walking to meet her friend she gets kidnapped just outside her house. 
Settings
The settings for our film was inside of a house and outside the house. to keep it all the same we used my house as the setting, both outside and inside. we had to make sure that the weather was the same, everything in the house was the same and that it was filmed at the same time every night we filmed. this did prove a difficulty as when we were filming it the transition between seasons has an affect on the daylight hours, and when we first started filming it was darker than when it was when we finished filming the film. 
Music
As I mentioned, we kept our original music. the beauty of keeping this music is that we do not have to send of a request to use the music. the reason for this is because the musician who created it put a note on his YouTube page that we did not need to request permission. the piece of music we are using is Paramore decode instrumental played by Alexanderx22. 
Costume
The costumes we are using is as followed.
For Aimee:

• A "The Wanted" t-shirt that is brown with the boys faces on.
• Jeggins
• Boots
• A small back jacket with gold buttons

For Bethany:

• A black pair of fingerless gloves
• A black pair of trousers
• A black hooded coat
• Black shoes

we chose these costumes as Aimee's costume is a basic normal teenagers outfit that they would go out in. Many Teens prefer to go out in clothing that is fashionable to there preference and that is comfortable. We decided to give Bethany a long black Hooded coat to hide her face and make her look like the stereotypical youth that many people would be scared of. the fingerless gloves and the whole black look makes her look like she is not someone to mess with.

change in plan

Over The christmas holiday, i began thinking that our original idea would have been too complicated. i began to think of a new idea and we finally got a new idea.

Our New Idea (Those five boys)
our new idea is about a girl called aimee who is very obsessive over The Wanted. The girl would begin her morning by bringing up youtube and typing in "the wanted for the first time" the musci will start playing. she will get up, showered, brushing her teeth and getting back on her laptop. she will open another tab,and go onto twitter, she will look through the latest tweets and then go onto the discover button. she will look for the wanted and click on to the wanted. she would then be shouted by her mother and run down to go school. she will stop the music and get in the car and turn the radio on, by coincidence the same song will be on and through out the journey she will be listening whilst looking out the window day dreaming. when she gets out the car, the music will stop and she will meet her friends and they start to debate about The Wanted. the bell will ring and they will be broken off and walk to their lessons. Through out all of this the crew roles would run, and when the bell rings and they are walking away the title would role down.

If we continued the film it would be about a student and she would meet the wanted, she would prove her friends wrong. they all believe she wouldn't stand a chance with a celebrity and they believe that The Wanted are horrible people. Aimee would end up getting in a relationship with Nathan Sykes and proves that not all celebrities are horrible people.

song decision

As a team we needed a good idea for some sound. We chose some music that related to our genre of detective. We all had different ideas but the decided on a cover of paramore's "decode". we decided on acoustic version compared to the real version because we preferred the acoustic version. it was more interesting that the normal version. 
this is the song we chose.
