Reviews after our screening

Changing the name to contact

After long analysis, we came to a conclusion that the name 'wandering' simply wasn't effective enough for our film. We felt the name was too vague and that we needed something that was more relatable. We went over various names and came to conclude that 'Contact' was the most effective name for our film.

Due to this sudden change, we have had to change the name to contact on our poster. This has meant that amendments have also been made to our blog header and other things of that sort.

Missing Poster - Prop

For our title sequence we have chosen to put in the prop of a missing person in order to create realism and to fit with the storyline. We imitated a real missing persons poster in order to create authenticity.

Feedback from rough draft

Things to improve on:

• Many scenes were still shaky even after stabilisation
• Bus scene where he mistakes girl wasn't clear
• Too many walking shots
• Shots lacked good mise en scene 
• House scene and walking scenes were too long
• There were many with a big gap on top of the head 

Strengths:

• Good storyline - not too complicated 
• Clear message
• Good use of props
• Scenic estate 

Feedback from pitch

After the feedback from the pitch, we were given constructive feedback on how to improve our filming techniques and things of that sort.

1) We were told to make a more in depth version of our filming schedule and of course we went on to do that:

Friday 23rd January- Tolu Picks up all equipment take back home to Frampton Estate

Sunday 25th January-

11:30- Bus scenes
11:45- back to the college
12:00- eqipment given back

Rahim , Tolu , Konstancja - Infront of camera
Rahim , Nabeelah - Behind the camera

This improvement to our schedule meant we were more organised and properly knew the order 

of how we were going to film our different scenes.

2) The other integral bit of feedback we got after the pitch was to make the story line simpler and

not to over complicate things as it was just a title sequence and not a small film.

This meant that we didn't make the film to complicated and it remained simple but effective.

Photos from filming sessions

3 opening sequences that inspired us.

Before we started the filming process, we looked at various youth dramas in order to get inspiration for our film. We took close analysis on the films and used them as a means of producing ideas for our own title sequence. We closely looked at how the shots were filmed, and tried to recreate the best shots in our film.

The first film we chose to look at was one of the most famous youth dramas in the U.K, 'Attack the block'. Attack the block inspired us to create an urban looking atmosphere. Attack the block showed us that we should try to use an area that looked kinda rough, preferably one with graffiti as it enabled the audience to relate with it.


It wasn't just locations that we took from the 'Attack the block' opening sequence though, as we were also inspired by the costume used by the main protagonist. The main character wore the typical garments that are associated with a 'street child'. We used this and tried to replicate the clothes with the main character.

The music video from the Roots 'You got Me' has influenced us to make our youth drama title sequence. This is because the narrative is about a guy who walks through the streets, expressing his feelings for a girl, trying to search for her and find her. The way the shots are filmed. allows us to see his emotions which is why we filmed next to a graffiti wall as the bright colours contrast with the saddened street boy, trying to find his friend.  The props also influences us to have the missing poster as he is constantly being reminded of her visually which is like haunting him and it emphasises how much he misses her.

The trailer for Honey Trap also inspired us to create a narrative of a young person trying to find themselves through someone else. Also Honey Trap was filmed at Hackney which is a really gritty urban area which is the perfect mise en scene for the character as it reflects on them and their social class. The part where the girl makes her way to her estate also influenced us. due to the way it was filmed and composed; getting all the graffiti. The costumes of the 'street boys' also influenced us as we were able to dress our protagonist in the similar way. In addition to this, this clip allowed us to observe how teenager boys act and deal with pain and how they express their emotions by suppressing them.

On the home page of our website we have the poster as the background so that viewers can identify our poster and familiarise themselves with it. We have also put it as the background as it establishes the genre of the youth drama and so that the audience is introduced to the protagonist. 

We have also included the date when it will be on television and have made the date bold and clear so that people know exactly when its on, We also countdown to remind them that its going to be released soon.

On this page 'The Making' our audience will find out more about the series through the director, the title designer, the production company and lastly the entertainment company. We have made sure that the colours on this page compliment with the theme of our poster. 

This page gives a little synopsis to the viewers about who the characters are and the roles they will play. It also introduces the storyline through the characters and it also demonstrates the stereotypes that they may play. This page also shows a few pictures of the crew, so that viewers get that feeling of exclusivity and get a taste of behind the scenes,

The last page allows people to automatically connect this page with their social media and we offer a range of social media that they can share from. This will attract more youth to know about our new series.
