Last week we visited BFI on a film/media school trip, this was an act of preparation for our media and film exams in June. The day consisted of lectures all morning, then a lunch break in which many of us visited Mc Donald's. After this we went straight back to BFI and watched the new Sherlock Holmes film featuring Robert Downey JR, Jude Law and Rachel McAdams.
Within the lectures at BFI we learnt a lot to do with marketing, audiences, Hollywood and distributing and producing. There was a lot of relevant information to help us out with having a much better grasp upon making our title sequence. As it supplied us with information on how we can attract our audiences to our movie, just due to simple factors such as publicizing what actors are present within the movie. The lectures also taught us about distributor's and from this we felt reassured that we can make our own and make it very marketable to our audiences. We are doing this through calling our production company "Triad Productions" it relates perfectly to our film and has a triad symbol above it as if to reinforce it's name.
From the lectures at BFI we also found information such about "The big five" the major studio's and companies that dominate the film industry.We were able to find this relatable to our title sequence as it made us realise that our production company would come under the independent production companies. Therefore making our movie a lot more artistic and it would make our movie look like an independent movie, so perhaps as a group we should think about changing who we would want to be our investigator and our suspect. I shall keep this factor in the back of my mind and update my blog once the group has come to a decision, as there are a number of actors that work in independent movies that we could use and who would work well. Such as a Ewan Mcgreggor Esq actor for our investigator and a Jay Chou Esq actor to play the suspect.
Tomorrow we would like to edit our title sequence the two scenes in which we have already filmed of our investigator in his office and the suspect in his own office and meat packing factory. We shall look through all of our footage and it shall be like an elimination process finding out what we really need and what we will never put in our title sequence. We may need to add footage to either scenes or re-film things, so tomorrow's elimination process will be necessary before any real editing process can begin. Si Hin has also found some footage of Hong Kong that he filmed of a previous holiday to China *Fingers crossed* we can use aspects of it. I shall update on this particular subject tomorrow once we have spoken to our teachers about the footage, also hopefully i will be able to add the possible clips we want to use on to my blog tomorrow.
