Production Meeting 2

Today we analysed the sequence Switchblade Romance, after this we had a small chat about some more ideas we have.

We thought about where we were going to do our title sequence and we disscussed about either doing the sequence in a dark room with the lights off or a fully white room. The fully white room, is a studio on the college premisis which we will maybe have to ask permission to use and which we will visit our locations before we film to get a sense of how we will film and we could easily prepare a dark room... this would just mean turning the lights off when its dark and fixing a bulb or a lamp above the person sitting in the chair, this could keep the spectator in suspence
The other clips would be short duration so could be filmed almost anywhere... we had ideas of hands fiddling with a knife or something similar which could just be filmed on an ordinary table. All of our shots, apart from the first shot, will be short duration as this builds a bigger effect of suspense and tension. Many of our shots will be close ups, again apart from the first shot, as this creates the effect of including the spectator in the action and doesnt vary the imagination of the spectator as they have little information to start making interpretations, which helps to set the mood for the film.

We have not yet discussed what font type or style we are going to use as we feel this is irrelevant until we need to add it in, this is also the case for a soundtrack. Although we have discussed that the sounds should include scratching or screams of some sort etc, we have not fully discussed this but have some initial ideas.

We have decided we are not going to have any diagetic sound but all non-diagetic. It is easier to add a soundtrack in afterwards instead of trying to include dialogue etc.

In our next production meeting we will discuss our shot types and shot order, the roles of our group members and where exactly we are going to shoot our title sequence...
