Journal - Week 7

This week in Media we have successfully managed to do a lot of work with the creation of our title sequence.

For example this week in Media we have:

• Commenced with the filming of our title sequence
• Began shooting in a different location
• Uploaded 'tester' footage
• Completed further Audience Feedback forms with which logo we are going to use

This week we began filming in a new location for our title sequence, for instance we decided to use a different location mainly because we wanted a more effective location and we feel that our previous location in which was in a corridor, wasn't exactly what we were looking for; therefore we decided to use a new location. This new location is in a big retro style boardroom.

We shall also commence with filming this coming Thursday; and this time we shall be filming in a local church. We wanted to use a church especially seeing as Church's are historical and church's are usually what you would've found during the cold war in the 1950's.

Furthermore, we also uploaded some tester footage (check previous posts). The benefit of uploading tester footage was that we as a group could see what the footage we filmed; and see what it's like. As a group we found some positive and negative points about the tester footage, but we came to the conclusion to re-film certain aspects of our title sequence especially with some problems we had with the location.

My group and I also decided to create some more audience feedback forms with regards to what logo name and style we shall use. Therefore we created 20+ audience feedback forms and tow of the group members handed them out to the target audience of our film (Pre-dominantly males/Older Teenagers). Consequently we found the results to be that 75% of people asked preferred the 'Nocturnal Pictures' logo. The reason in which most people preferred the 'Nocturnal Pictures' was that the style of the logo was more convenient to the genre of our film.

What's next for our group?

This coming week in Media, our group shall commence with the filming of our title sequence; and we should hopefully be finished. As a group we have decided to set this coming Thursday as the last shooting date so we should be finished with filming! In addition, hopefully by the start of next week our editing of our title sequence shall begin.
