Final Film Opening: Endeavour

Creating the Soundtrack on Garage Band

The music was fine to compose and build however I found it difficult to completely smooth out transitions between the sections of music and make them seamless to also fit the film opening at the same time. Also, please ignore the instruments on the left hand side as they do not correspond with all the instruments within the timeline.

Storyboard - Plan of Film

The plot line for this film opening is that, Amy, a teenage girl has just moved away from her hometown and best friend to go and pursue her dream and join a nationally recognised sports team. The opening will show her as she walks into her room after her first day of school, feeling down as she reminiscences of old times with her best friend, but is inspired to go and prove herself after looking at many of her past medals and prizes. She then walks out the door with her sports bag to go to training. 

Overall Influences from Research - Summary

Initial Title Research
-26 shots on average in a 2 minute film opening.
-Main jobs mentioned were Producer, Co-producer, Music Composer, Executive Producer, Writer, Director, Costume Designer, Casting Director, Editor, Production Designer & Director of Photography.

Due to this being a film opening with only me producing, there will not be a co-producer or an executive producer listed in my film opening. There will also not be a production designer mentioned as all the scenes were not shot in constructed sets.

Mise-en-scene Research

-Consistent colours throughout

-Location should be fitting to the drama genre.

-Font titles should be consistent.

-Lighting and props should tie in with my chosen genre.

Analysing Cinematography

-Use of establishing shots

-Try and use a variety of close ups, long shots and medium shots.

Research into Institutions

-Make sure that my film includes prominent features of the drama genre so that film distributors are more likely to take interest in my film.

Researching Student Work

-Simple idea

-Titles that fit with the genre.

- As little as possible dialogue between characters or just one character talking (maybe as a voice over like their thoughts).

Research into a Potential Target Audience.

-Font that is easy to read & stands out.

Costumes & Props Research

-Clothes that you would see everyday (casual – maybe sports clothes)

-Everyday props, such as phones, bikes etc.

Sound Research

-Actual song/soundtrack, which has changes in tonality to represent the emotional rollercoaster of a drama film (generic convention).

Logo Research

-Animated logo (nothing too fancy, only slightly animated to make it more interesting).
