Confirmation of Church

Our title sequence requires the use of religion and so the premises of a church is needed. 


Today, i managed to find a church that we could use within our title sequence by ringing them up and asking for permission to record/film part of our title sequence inside and outside of their building. To my success, they had no problem in offloading their church to us for a duration of an hour. Because of this, i'll be able to produce a religious theme after recording on 12/01/2012


The details of the church are as followed:
Revd Peter Organ
St Michael's Vicarage
Upper Wickham Lane
Welling
Kent DA16 3AP
Tel: (020) 8304 1214 (Vicar)

Next week, we shall be filming all of our shots that require the use of the church to prevent any time from being wasted.

Our Animatic & Soundtrack Merged

This is our finished animatic with our chosen soundtrack which should allow us to see what our title sequence could end up looking like. This is alternatively a preview of our end product if all shots are taken correctly. Changes could well be made dependent upon feedback received.

Journal - 05/1/12

Today, we as a group managed to finish off our animatic as well as drawing closer to selecting a soundtrack which would best suit our title sequence.


In our period today, we thought that it would make sense if each and every one of us were allocated a task to allow us as a group to be productive and not waste time. Below establishes who was responsible for what.

• Tugay - Animatic
• Myself - Soundtrack
• Bev - Storyboard

Towards the end of the first hour, we managed to select a soundtrack that we put together with our animatic to get a preview of what our title sequence may actually look like. The soundtrack went well with the animatic and since it is the storyboard that will be guiding us to our shots, our overall title sequence for our film 'ENIGMA' should be great!

FILM STUDIO RESEARCH

We have chosen Sony pictures for the following reasons:

• Cheap to produce films
• Produced wide variety of thriller films such as - Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Angels * Demons and Godzilla
• Thriller films have gained a good reputation
• Trustworthy from previously made films
• Not seen as one of the top 3 studios and so is more likely to have free time to help fund for our film

Objective today was mainly to finish off storyboards and create an animatic that can be uploaded on to
B-L-O-G-G-E-R!

Examples of Sound to be used in ENIGMA!

Below are three examples of the type of music that will link nicely with our title sequence allowing numerous enigmas to be created. Despite the sound below not being able to used because it is not copyright free, recreating similar sound will not be a problem. This will most likely have to be created physically.





This soundtrack above i believe will work really well with the movement of the character used within our title sequence, especially as from camera shots and movements, it is clear that the individual is either lost or en-route to tracking a source or material down. The words from this soundtrack will also go well with the title sequence creating further an enigma as the audience will feel that the words from the soundtrack are the words from the character within the title sequence.





This soundtrack almost sounds like the footsteps of an individual en-route to a long journeyed location. This would work well within our title sequence simply as the character within the sequence will be seen moving through a forest moving from location to location (Forest, church & outside of forest). This should create an enigma due to the fact that with the music corresponding well with the images within the title sequence, the audience will likely be asking questions such as 'is he running from someone?', 'where is he going?', and 'what on earth will occur next........will he bump into something?'

Sound/Music ideas

Taking into consideration the plot and genre of our title sequence,  it would be useful and effective if the music used within our title sequence was rather slow and fast paced for two different effects.


By using slow paced music, it will allow an effect in that it should present an isolated feeling that should create an enigma for the audience and raise attention from the audience allowing them to focus on the key elements being presented such as the location of shots and how they are linked to one another.


Fast paced music will create a tensed effect in the fact that it will establish movement within the title sequence which should also create an enigma in that the audience will be adjusting themselves to the pace of the sequence and will also be interested in what is to occur next in the sequence and where and how it will end off.
