Location scouting for our opening - Part 1

We need to locate a bedroom or a living room to film our opening in. we all decided that we should take a look at our own living rooms first and the move onto other locations that we could take pictures of.

From looking at the picture of the living room, we feel that it could work as we have the requirements that we are looking for: space, a coffee table and windows leading into the room. However the shots could be tricky as with people in the room, t can get crowded.

This is the shot of my bedroom. As the sleepover scene is round the character of Sarah's house, she would not have a room like this as she is more stereotypically girly and this room would suit more of Sam's room because of the 'Batman' Theme. My room is also quite small, with a big bed and would be too cramped to film in.

in conclusion, we have at least one possibility to film in and from scouting some more locations, I’m sure we will be able to find better rooms to film in.

Film Title

We started by mind mapping random ideas and listing them. this was our list:
Spirt Wars.
We found that this one was to cheesey and didnt really suit the theme of our film.
Demon Run.
This idea was dismissed straight away since we couldnt take is seriously.
Ghost Attack.
This idea wasnt really taken seriously either.
The Cult.
We all quiet liked this one since it was simple and fit to our storyline really well.
Ouija.
We thought this was an okay idea but felt it was to simple and didnt really have the right feel for the film.
Generation.
We liked the word and decided we wanted it in the name but felt it needed something else.
The Cursed.
We quiet liked this but felt that it was quiet a generic.
Cursed Generation.
We really liked this and we chose this one because it fit the story line perfectly and really suited the feel to the theme.

Posted by Rebecca Murden but the whole group worked on finding the name.

Rough Film Title Order

This is the rough film order for our opening, this is a more simplistic title order as our film is independant and films such as 'Shaun of the Dead' (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007) as they only include the production companies and title and no actors or crew. we have decided that we wanted to add a bit more than that so we have added leading cast members and some of the crew alot like the opening for 'Catch me if you can' (2002).

Institutional Logo: finished

We decided on using Becca's idea in our final logo as we felt that it fit best with the theme of our film. We thought that the colours in the Slowloris's eye were creepy which goes along with the general theme of the film. We chose to add shadowing around the logo to give it darkness. We wanted the writing to stand out whilst not looking too out of place so we thought a light grey would blend well enough with it still being readable.

Institutional Logo Idea 4

I chose to use the image of a 'slowloris' peeking over the writing to make it seem creepy whilst not being too over-the-top. I wanted the writing to be bold so that it would stand out and be easily recognisable as our institutions logo. The thing about the logo design that maybe wouldn't work so well is that the slowloris is quite cute which doesn't really fit with our theme.

Institutional Logo Idea 3

I think this could work for our logo because i think it could look really sinister with the right editing. It fits with our genre for the film because its rather creepy. Also i chose to do the eye because its an iconic thing with the slowloris since they are known for there big eyes. The wrighting would bend around the eye to make it stand out.

Institutional Logo Idea 2

I decided to steer away from the conventional idea of using a slowloris in the logo as i feel that they do not fit within the supernatural genre of our film. I decided to have tears with tenticles sticking out as i felt it looked good even in rough and as we are an independant company, it would make the production logo match the style of the films we would produce
