Preliminary Task- Choosing a Logo

There are three people in my group, myself, Bailey, and Ellie. We all made a logo for our company, so in order to decide which one to use, we all put across our opinions on each others (and our own) logos. Our final decision was based on this discussion.

Bailey's Logo
 


Ellie's Logo
 

 
My Logo
 
 
In the end, we decided to use my logo for our production company. We all said that as my logo has a plain black background, it would be easier to transition from this to the film, as it would look more clean cut fading into black. We also decided that my logo was the most professional, and would appeal to a wider audience, as well as being able to be used in a wide variety of genres of film.

Preliminary Task- Planning


Setting Details-
When we were planning our preliminary task, we thought of several possible locations for the setting of our video. In the end we narrowed it down to an outdoor picnic bench, a hallway and an empty classroom. We chose to film in an empty classroom as it had the best sound quality, and the least chance of being interrupted. It also enabled us to use the space in and around the classroom, including the corridor, the door to the classroom and the desks.

Character List-                   
There were only two characters in our video. Caoimhe played the bully, who aggressively collects money from Rainbow. Rainbow played the innocent victim of Caoimhe’s cruel ways. While there were no other on camera roles, we all were involved in the film making process somehow.

Equipment List-
The only equipment we used to create our video was a camcorder and an SD card. Originally, we were going to use Bailey’s camera because it has High Definition recording, however, we decided it was more convenient to just use a school camcorder. The quality was a lot better than we’d thought it would be, and our videos turned out really well. The camcorder didn’t have an SD card, so we used the one Bailey had for her camera.

We only used one prop for our video, which was the money. We printed out £240 worth of notes, which helped to make our scene look more realistic and effective.
