PLANNING + EDITS: PRODUCTION COMPANY LOGO & BBFC CERTIFICATE

PRODUCTION COMPANY LOGO 

We split up the tasks involving the graphics of our film production. I was responsible for creating the production company logo. The programme I used to make our production logo was called Wix Logo Maker. To develop this format, colour tones etc.. Wix Logo Maker asks questions relating to the design and generates a set of options for which you can choose from. We both decided this would be the most sophisticated production company logo that reflects the our company attributes and values. I had also come up with a Production Company Tagline, called “Creativity at its Best.” Giving positive connotations that we are an innovative independent company that thrives of, off creativity.

INITIAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT 

DEVELOPMENT - LOGO by Preesha Patel 

FINAL DECISION

We both decided that this would be the best option for our production company logo. This is because we felt that the style, and colour palette were both simple and classic.

BBFC CERTIFICATE

I have created the BBFC certificate for “Ground Floor” rated 18. We decided to rate it an 18, firstly because our targeted audience age was 18-40 and we felt this was the most appropriate age at which audiences should be watching. We also felt that because of the violent actions that the film trailer shows at the end of the film it was important we chose an appropriate age that the BBFC would approve. As in the rest of the film we would see the protagonist becoming increasingly more violent. 

CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

Friday 3rd December 

In today’s lesson we decided to continued editing our trailer. We ran into some problems with editing our piece in that some of the clips we filmed where too long, especially for producing a trailer. So, we spent time editing and shortening the clips so that it fit to the brief. One of the main objectives we learnt about when researching trailers was to have short/concise, fast clips. To combat this issue/refine our work we decided to speed up certain scenes/clips so that it had a more “trailer feel” to it. We will continue to work our way through the clips and scenes editing, shortening and speeding up clips in order to create a successful, well thought out trailer for the end of our project/this final stage. 

EDITS: MASKING

CONSTRUCTION: EDITING / MASKING 

Wednesday 1st December / Thursday 2nd December

This is the first look at editing our trailer. My idea was to create an inter title where the letters run across the screen as Tom was running. Tom and myself used the masking tool to mask each frame of the letter, so that the transition inter title ran smoothly. We also changed the font to match the genre of our film, which is: drama/action. The colour we decided having a white font. 

PLANNING: FILM FESTIVALS

PLANNING: FILM FESTIVALS

Thursday 18th November

Friday 3rd December

We aim submit out film called “GOUND FLOOR”  to film festivals of which include: Edinburgh International Film Festival and BFI Future Film Festival. 

We aim  to enter these two film festivals. Especially, as our film is an arthouse independent/micro budget film, we decided that Edinburgh International Film Festival and BFI Future Film would be the best options catered toward out film type. Other, more mass/major film festivals such as: Cannes Film Festival and the London Film Festival would be considered too unrealistic to be able to enter or win an award in. And because these two option are aimed toward a younger demographic/students then there is a more likely chances of us being successful in these particular film festivals.
