Pre Makeup Practice



Using Liquid Latex (from a costume shop), fake blood (amazon) and liquid eyeliner we created a wound that will make it look like the girl in our opening sequence will have been beaten to be eaten later. This is shown through a time lapse to show how we are going to make it and make sure it looks realistic.

We thought we needed a bright red blood as well and has been ordered from amazon which we will used as well as this in the real shoot.

Logo

Here is a video of the logo 'Pink Productions' that will be put in our opening sequence before the film starts...


This will then fade into our first scene.


Film Company- Pink Productions

A film company is normally inserted into the beginning of the movie in the credits. There are many mainstream companies which are used for larger budget and high concept films. For example, Universal, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks, Disney and many more.

Vertigo is a British film industry which is suitable for low budget films like mine, here is an example... 


I made my own using Powerpoint and Paint to create a 'Pink Production' Logo.



I think this logo sums up our group as we are 4 teenage girls who made the film. Additionally a lot of creative thoughts went into the film so the rainbow film reels suited the brain perfectly.



This trailer at the beginning shows the twirling patterns which acted as an inspiration for our logo.

Films Like My Opening Sequence

1. The Call- in this film a young blonde girl is abducted. This is similar to our film as a man takes her from a normal place and keeps her hostage in his car boot to eventually keep her in a whole in a field where no one can find him easily. After clues left by him, they find that this was the plot of an old house of his that burnt down. There he removes blonde hair from young girls to make a model of his sister who he had incestuous feelings towards and fell ill. The police officer finds them and traps him in the underground cellar to kill him.


2. Gone- in this film again a blonde girl was abducted and escaped and now her sister has gone missing. The police do not believe her. She does the dirty work herself whilst the police chase her as she has a gun on her. She eventually finds pictures of various girls and her sister in a tent in the tent in a field in the middle of nowhere. As we find her back in the position with the man she started in, shown through flashbacks to when she was abducted we see her overcome her abducter and burn him alive. The man's identity is unknown throughout the whole film which makes it scarier.



What have we taken from this?
Blonde girls are usually a target.
Girls are usually young, pretty and victimised.
The man's identity is usually unknown.

Storyboard

We made a storyboard online using go animate. We thought this was a good way to present this because it puts our story into a real life scenario which makes it easier for us to see what we need to film and also what it will look like when really made.

Change of Plan...

Due to certain reasons, we are not able to use our chosen set and actors. Due to this we have had to change our idea slightly and change sets and characters. Despite this, we think it will be better than our original idea even though it is very similar. It is more thrilling and eye catching and is still suitable for our target audience.
