Production meeting 1

Date:12th December
Where: ICT classroom
Who: Jack Lucas and Toby Egden

The objective of our first production meeting is to brainstorm and get some good ideas of what we want our opening sequence to be about and what type of genre to use. Me and Jack where able to get a good idea of what we wanted opening sequence to be about and what type of genre by watching a number of different opening sequences on you tube and short clips of films and different trailers to really get idea of what we like and what is possible to film as we have a low budget and not a lot of experience.
After watching different opening sequences we particularly liked kidulthoods opening sequence. and decided we wanted our story line to be among the lines.
we then discussed the ways in which we could shape and mould it to the way that best suit us. we then came up with idea that we want it to be someone having a dream about it.

Our plans for the next production meeting is to make some notes about what we want the opening sequence to be and get some ideas of the shots we want to have by watching other opening sequences and short films and trailers.

Colour treatment

Colour treatment is key in our main task for our opening sequence, because its about a boy having a dream so this means colour treatment is very important and we must portray this by brightening up the colour treatment or taking the colour out of it and darkening it. Its important that the audience know that its a dream and know that something isn't quite right. we need to make sure the audience aren't confused and do have an understanding of whats going on this is why the colour treatment is element we must pay particular attention to.

An example of brightening up the colour treatment is:

 

 

This is a example of colour treatment where the colour has been enhanced and given a blueish greener filter to enhance the colours and make the bolder. When me and jack decide to add the colour treatments in we need to enhance the colours like the picture below or completely take the colours out to add the effect that something isn't quite right and so that the audience has a slight idea that its dream. It also adds tension and a sense of mystery.
