Evaluation - What was the most difficult part of the project?

The actual filming was the hardest part for me. It was difficult to find a suitable setting to film as we were restricted to the school site therefore we were limited to only classrooms and fields. Another issue we had with the filming was that our first piece was lost as we had technical problems with the cameras and computers which resulted into shooting the whole thing again.

Evaluation - What did you find easy when working on your preliminary task?

We found that editing our film was rather easy, we also found that the pre-planning and storyboarding was simple as we all roughly had the same ideas so discussing and agreeing on ideas was easy.

FINAL DESIGN

Above is our final design. We stuck to the theme of using three lions and also included a similar design from our first design into our final. We have the two lion silhouettes facing inwards and then our central lion. The central lion design is taking from our first design as we made it simple but used detail for the mane. The background has a metal look, this represents how powerful and strong our production company is. We chose the font very carefully as we didn't want it to be plain or over the top. We ended up choosing this font as we thought it looked very traditionally English and unique. It also reminded me of Kings, Queens etc. The font therefore portrayed a royal look, which is what England is all about! 

Reverse Shot (Un-edited Clips)

These two clips are examples of reverse shot (reverse angle) in which we used in our preliminary task. Two successive shots from equal and opposite angles. The definition of a reverse shot gives the example of "two characters during a conversation" therefore we thought that would be the easiest way to show this shot. 

Match On Action (Un-edited Clips)

                                              

                                              

Above is the first example of match on action used in our video. There is a cut between the two shots which show the same action (entering a room through a door) but from two different positions. 

         

              

                                   

                                                

These three clips are another example where we used match on action in our video. The three clips above all show the same action, the character sitting down in a chair, however 3 shots are used to create the different positions/angles for it to be a match on action shot. 

180 Degree Rule

This is the example of using the 180 degree rule in our preliminary task. It shows how the camera is kept in its area, within only a 180 degree angle in a semi-circle. Characters are shown on the same side even though different shots and angles are used. This is the un-edited version of the clip.

Our Production Company Process

One of our tasks was to create a suitable logo and name for a production company that would fit into the right genre for our film opening. The genre we thought our opening fitted in with was an Action/Thriller. We decided we wanted to use the theme of Britain as our base to work around. We came up with names such as:British Academy Films, British Film Company, Crown Films, Empire Films and Three Lions. 

Our strongest name we all decided on was British Academy Films but decided not to go with British Academy Films as it was too similar to the BAFTA, so we had to come up with another.
We then really liked the theme of the Three Lions, relating to England football club. We thought this would be a great idea for a logo as a lion is a very powerful and recognisable animal and would be strong for our company, therefore we played around with the name a few times. Thee Lions Productions, Three Lions Company and Three Lions Academy. 


We then all agreed on "THREE LIONS PRODUCTIONS".  

This was our first rough design inspired by the Team GB logo, consisting of the main image, The company name and all three of our initials on the tail, MSG.
We didn't use this design as our final one as it was too similar to the TEAM GB logo and we wanted it to be original, therefore we played around with the design and came up with our final one.
