Production Meeting - 25/03/12

The film crew, actors/actresses produced an opening title sequence which visually matched the storyboard images, but differed by multiple scenes and characterisation. The camera man also had more expertise than the last, now making every scene steadily shot and producing less camera shake. However, we didn't manage to record any scenes which involved special lighting effects.
Aims are to edit the footage ASAP, and to introduce a focus group which of who will analyse and give their personal interpratations. The team which designed the storyboard, will also edit that, and the animatic which shortly defines the OTS.

Production Meeting - 21/03/2012

Today the film crew has taken its samples of available footage, and sampled edited videos of the projected Neo Noir. Most shots do not show continuity, and may have to be filmed again for noticeable continuous film.
The aims for the film crew are to continue filming, likely finishing before the end of the week, and after to edit the footage to seem continuous and match the conventions/standards of a Film Noir.

Production Meeting - 19/03/12

Today the film crew have recieved assistance from another camera person to record all footage of the projected Neo Noir. Filming will involve 2 actors and 1 camera person.
The aims are to complete filming within this week before friday, 23rd March, and to resume the editing of the Animatics, hopefully finishing too on friday.

Production Meeting - 15/03/12

Today, the producers and actors began to film the OTS, closely based upon the story-boarding and script, with minor scenes filmed and shots relatively close to the original images portrayed.
The aims for continuing will be to film later throughout the days with extra members of the team, and possibly with more aids. And to finish constructing the animatic, revolving from the storyboard, but with less necessity.

Sound for OTS

This is the evidence created by one of the members within the film crew describing the foleying task and recordings of the sounds.

Producton Meeting - 14/03/12

Our group's production meeting included our storyboard now finished and locations chosen, ready to begin designing animatics for further illustration of a more accurate storyline.
Our group's aims are to begin filming in the (very) near future, following 15/03/12. And today wil involve the animatic. The animatics will prove to be most innovative and more engaging through viewing the storyboard.

Production Meeting - 12/03/2012

Third production meeting with Myself, Ash and Daniel.
Our group's production meeting today involved us continuing storyboards and selecting locations for filming, finalising any loose effects. My aims were to finish annotating the storyboard to which Ash has drawn, while also writing a plausable script that fits well to the genre of Film Noir, or in this case; Neo Noir. Daniel's aims are to post blogs which present locations and images of our filming task. And Ash intends to finish the storyboard very soon.
This is Daniel's blog of the supplied images: http://dmck95.blogspot.com/2012/03/location-of-film.html

Sound Effects & Foleying task

Above is a sheet in which the actors and foley artists had to comment and design for personal OTS' sound effects. Examples were given, most were not followed and few were changed for designated effects.

It reads as follows:
Desired Sound Effect

Hammer pummeling

Hammer grinding solid surface

Footsteps (Fast motion)

And the other boxes along the right rows reads how they were effective and what went wrong, faults were, etc... Most were recorded terrifically, with minor faults. These sound effects will prove to be quite useful in the crew's arson final OTS.

Production Meeting - 07/03/12

The location photographer has taken photographs that will be uploaded ASAP. The storyboard artist has started to draw the storyboard sequences, which will continue today and further on, and then the director has started to annotate the storyboard and edits, etc... which will continue today and also further on.
The location photographer is continuing to blog the work. The storyboard artist will keep drawing the images, and the director will continue to annotate the shots and descriptive images for the images drawn.
The director's aims will be to finish writing and giving the descriptive text towards images drawn by the storyboard artist. With full detail for the final OTS. The crew would all also like to begin filming shortly.

Production Meeting - 05/03/12

The crew had a production meeting today to alocate tasks so that work will be performed efficiently, and so it is heavily distributed fairly using the individual areas of expertise and interpretation to the best of the crew's capabilities, and resulting in good efforts.
The location photographer will be in commandment for locations and settings within the filming of the neo noir. Capturing photographic evidence to choose specific areas. The photo's taken will be uploaded by the photographer to blogger, which when the crew will gather to discuss within the following lesson.
The director and the storyboard artist are responsible for storyboarding the entire opening sequence, however the director will be unable to attend the whole of the lesson as the director will be otherwise busy.
The aims are to create a worthy storyboard which will result with prepared filming tactics and theoretical settings. Which in turn would become an animatic to process before the actual filming. More will be discussed within the following meeting.

Audience Theory

Audience theory is an element of thinking that developed within academic literary theory and cultural studies. Audiences are the most important subjects of the projected Media made, otherwise with no audience, there is no reason for the development of media that will cause no usage.
Audience theory basically shows knowledge of understanding, through a technical standing point, of literally knowing what the subjected audiences will like/dislike. Research for aspects from people's interests will prove to be necessary. Questionnaires are proven to be compulsory for audience research, this includes surveys, projection charts, etc... Once given results, the answers will be presented from the Majority's options chosen; soon after, the media will be developed.
Audiences also file under specific titles, ones that define separate groups or individuals:
Hypodermic Needle - Directly received and wholly accepted by the receiver.
Two-Step Flow - People with most access to Media. A modern version of the Hypodermic Needle.
Uses and Gratifications - People are not helpless victims of mass media, but use the media to get specific gratifications.
Etc...

Camera Angles

I need to show that i undestand the concept and style of different camera angles so i am going to research examples and decide which are most appropriate for our film before we storyboard

High ((Images captured from above the subject)Example transferred from Google images database)-

Eye level ((Images captured at the precise height as a frist person subject)Example transferred from Google images database)-

Low (Images captured to make the subject appear large scaled)-

Canted ((Images captured with a diagonal distortion)Example transferred from Google images database)-
