Production Name Logos


After lots of logos that one of our group member Aalisha has drawn out on her software where it allows her to draw free hand on it then transfers on the computer we have decided to go with the simple blood droplet because we think that the simply logo contrast our main task but at the same time allows the audience know what film they are about to watch. 
As you know R.A.N.K stands for all of our team names Rosaline, Aalisha, Naomi and Klodiana which is why we thought that it would make a good production name not only that but the word "Rank" is a slang word for disgusting which i think suits our main task perfectly.


These are some of the other logo that we cam up with 

This one has a puff of smoke behind our production name we thought it was good because it adding mystery to our task.


This one was my favourite because I thought that the compas symbol went well with the personality of the character because of her being mentally ill.




This logo was design the same way as the one we are going to keep but this one has barb wire around the Rank 


Production Title

Our production name is R.A.N.K we chose this name because the first letter of each of our names spell it R(osaline) A(alisha) N(aomi) K(lodiana) but the word R.A.N.K can also relate to our target audience (young adults) because the word Rank is slang for disgusting.

Sound Effects


We also thought that some of this particular clip would be great for some intense dramatic effects in where a shock or a jump is needed.

Soundtrack Ideas 2


We thought that this soundtrack would go really well when Anna Smith is running to the house but we will not use all of it but from 0:30s - 1:35s we will pick out the best parts that build up suspense and make her running more dramatic.

We thought that part of tjhis soundtrack could be use for our flashbacks clips.

Make-up Practise



I tried to create a bruise on my arm and for that I got inspiration from a youtube clip I viewed
I got really annoyed by her voice so I watched it muted and though of what went right on the bruise.


 For the bruise I used mostly eyeshadow but also used a bronzer and red lip gloss.





After the brusie trail I also looked up on how to do a cut and for this result i used the youtube clip below 
I didn't follow the steps shown in the clip because I didn't have all the right material so I improvised with what i had also the cut in the video looks like it is healing when we want a cut that looks like is was done recently.

These are the material I used for the cut i used mostly red pen to emphasise the cut line.

Here are some more practise I did the next day on the rest of our group I did some cut on arm and a cut on a lip.



I also tried to create a bruise and place it around a eye, we took the photo about 3 1/ 2 hours later so by then it was really shiny but it still looked really good and some of our teachers and classmates thought it was real. 


Here is the make-up on the the actor the way it will be done on the day of the filming here are some photos of the bruises around her eye and cuts on her knee and arms the bruise on her knee will be done when she falls down infront of the house she later breaks into.

Props and Costumes

* Props ;
-Watch  - Will be used when Anna is looking to see what the time is after just waking up on the park bench
- Hospital tag  - Will been show so that the audience can start to suspect that the character has some kind of illness
- Dog   - Will be used to seem as a threat to Anna as she is paranoid to anything in the outside world.
- Knife  - Will been shown numerous time in the opening to emphasise that Anna is dangerous
- Plasters  Will been shown on Anna to show that audience




* Costumes;
      - Main Character (Anna Smith) Costumes - Ripped jeans, plain T-shirt, big hoodie, rough looking trainers
We have chose this costume so that the audience can see that her appearance does not matter to her at the moment to show that she has had a rough time. We want her to look vulnerable and stereo typical  like a typical teenager through the eyes of an adult.


      -  Make up   - Cuts on arm covered with plasters, bruised face, tired looking eyes, messy hair 
      - Dog walker  - Blue Jeans, Brown Leather Hoodie and Red Vans 
      - Mysterious Person - Burgundy Jogging Bottom, Blue Body Warmer
