The Team


Shaun put himself forward to be one of the guards and i and the group decided this will be a good choice because of his height and stature. 


I didn't know Daniel before we put the team together but i thought his clean-cut look was very fitting to the role he was playing. His sharpness was what we was looking for to fit the role correctly for Spencer.


I worked with Si-hin before and me and the group though that he will be able to play the character of the victim. No offense to Si-hin but we believe his build and stature resembles those who will be victims instead of a British gangster. Si-hin also was very helpful and was very co-operative.  



We approached Joe Beale as we as a group knew that he would be a perfect fit for one of our body-guards his rough facial and hard stature was an undoubtedly great choice to be part of the cast in our title sequence.   



Danny Hackett has the most experience behind the camera in the group and has brought forward a good contribution with using the equipment we need to make our title sequence a success. 

 I was another one working behind the scenes and was involved in giving my opinion on the choices to be made on our title sequence.

JOURNAL

Today i uploaded the prduction logos also me and Danny took
a look at our title sequence and how we can improve it. Me and Danny came
to a conclusion to use the Warner Bros company at the begining of our film
because it is popular with films like The Godfather and others. Me and Danny
are quite annoyed at the fact one of our member went M.I.A but it happens and
me and Danny are trying to deal with it.

Production Logo

DECISIONS............ DECISIONS !














Luckily the group had the variety to choose from different styles for our logos ; we though it would be good to have a fairly wide range from which we could choose from. we are still in strong debate which logo to use

Additional features

UNFORTUNATELY Whilst recording some footage was lost by it being recorded over, there is nothing we can do about this incident and unfortunately time does not allow for us re-shoot the shots that were lost.

However an idea that was brought forward was a voice over of non-digetic sound which will be just a simple monologue just to add that extra information piece of information for the audience. We just think this will be a great addition to our title sequence and add more of a professional feel.

An example of what we are trying to achieve Has been implemented into the film GOODFELLAS.

Editing process





Here are some print screens of the editing process, firstly we imported the footage via imovie and did rough cuts then we imported it into Final Cut Pro. 

Danny has been showing me the ropes with editing and this has been an enjoyable experience.  

Updates In Typography


SPENCER
The previous production typography has been axed. This has happened due to the font giving off the impression of being too American based; which resemble a American High School feeling. The font shown above was selected in replacement to the previous one because we believe it is a bit sharper and isn't really a block edged font. We also felt it has it has an identity which really related to our title sequence. A font we was also looking to resemble was the Pulp Fiction which was a very straight forward font but also relates to the contents of the film.

Examples Of Shots

The location we was looking at was a skyline from canary. this type of shot is seen regularly in the filming industry by also setting the location of where the film is set. However the idea we are going for by using the location is to let the audience aware of what type of titles sequence we are shooting like a sense of upper class environment also a feel of sophistication.

1:03 - 2:43



As a group we collectively thought it woud be good if we had a london skyline time lapse shot; this would most deffinately be a good addition to our title sequence. moreover there are time issues but time should allow for us to get all ur shots.
