Filming Times

Since we have decided to change most of our main task we have to re-film a lot so we hav chosen a days which are;

22nd February 2013- Because all of our group only has two classes in the morning we decided to film from 12:00 pm to around 18:00pm we hope to get most of the re-filming done

23rd February 2013 - Is a Saturday and we have chosen to use that day to refilm any mistake is we have made any on the previous day and if not to pick out our soundtracks and make some process with our fonts.

R-A-N-K Main Task NO 1


 After filming our main task we then realised that we had some un-answered question from the audience so that is when we decided to re-film our main task with some changes in the plot.

This is our first attempt at what we thought we where going to use but since many of the our target audience has had question such as; Whose house is she in?, Does she know the owner of the house? If so why did she sleep in a park? 
Because of these question we have decided to redo our main plot. It will still follow the same theme but we have decided to replace our beginning some of the middle and ending because we feel this will be less confusing and is sure to deliver better quality


The beginning will change from her waking up in the park to her being already outside the house. So we will longer keep the clips of her running toward the house.
The middle will change from her looking around the kitchen to her looking around upstairs and in the bathroom 
The ending will change because instead of her holding the knife and the owner of the house being in danger she will now be the one in danger.

We feel as though this will not only help the audience understand our main task but we also grab the audience attention much more than our first idea and even though we have been told that changing our idea will cut away some of our editing time we have decided to go along with it as we can do our editing in our free time.
Although we have changed most of our clips we have decided to keep some of our old clips the ones we feel are too good to lose so we will be keeping some of our park shot where is waking up and some of the running in the dark shot and will make them into a flashback, we are also going to film in the same location and the character will wear the same clothing and make-up on which also highlights that the flashbacks are not long ago.

Script

It is much of a script we are just going to have Anna shouting out her friends name Jess who is the owner of the house and who Anna is looking for when she goes in the home casually.

Filming Times

These are the days we filmed so far;

26th January 2013, 11am- 6pm- We filmed most of our task, outside and inside scene are done

2nd February 2013 11am - 3pm- We did some re-filming of the shot we did wrong previously and managed to get it done all in that day.

Title Font and Colours

We are looking at what font and colouring we should use for our opening sequence.

Production Name- Our production is RANK and for the first clip we will need to show our logo and production name we would like to present it with the colour red as red is normally portrayed as blood and will go well with our plot 

Logo- For our logo we would have come up with several logos and think that our best one is the droplet of blood this is because in our task we will have blood and it will go well with the colour of our production name .

Credits- For our credits will are looking at a website called "Da Font"( http://www.dafont.com/ ) where it has many font for us to chose which one will go best we the theme of our plot. As an example we have though about using a font called "Frisky Vampire" but we do not want to use the same font for the title of our task so we have not decided whether or not to use it but we have decided that since we have changed the plot we have any dark scene so we thought that the credits should be in white so that they are contrasted with the clips.

Title- Our title for our main task is called "More Than Human" we chose this because it because of our plot our main character (Anna Smith) has just escaped a mental institute after being diagnosed with Hallucinogen and has had some unusual side effects which is why we think "More Than Human" is appropriate. We are going to see what the title looks like in "Frisky Vampire but we know we will want it in a blood red colour to assure the target audience that it is a horror film.

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
