Diary Post 5- Filming

Me and my two actors filmed the beginning shots of the film before Kat has her hair cut in the story. We decided to experiment with a quick pan as well as other shots. It was good that we were able to work fast since each shot in my trailer will only need a small amount of filming in each location. We still need to film some shots before I do cut my hair so until then I will analyse more trailers and get the rest of  my location pictures.

Storyboard for my Trailer

(Click View Fullscreen to view Clearly)

This is the storyboard I have made based off of my rough script. There is roughly 60 shorts but many of the shots will be quick cut and use voiceover to save time. Looking at my storyboard, I have noticed that many shots are basic and the same. When filming I will consider more interesting shots such as ariel, establishing and extreme close up.
The storyboard helps me visualise my idea and I will use this when filming so that I can tick off scenes,

Character Profiles

These character profiles help to create scenes to my trailer as well as add background info to the film. To enforce their characters further I will soon look into costumes and certain props that each character may be seen with.

Script- Very rough plan

Before I think about all my locations and my storyboard I wanted to have my basic ideas so I could work upon them roughly before making any final decisions. When typing this up I had to change orders and some intitial ideas as well as think about the locations that I can use for each scene. So far many of the ideas are only ones that I can understand or vision so my storyboard and animatic will make this clearer. When typing this I have also considered props and the time of day as well as some cinematography. I have also used my 14 scenes and mixed them up so that it's more trailer-like. Next I will do my storyboard so this idea is clear and structured.

Font +Inter/Title update: Final

 After thinking my story idea through I reconsidered a new title for my film. I went with "Get yourself together" as it humorously implies the fact that the two characters are not in their own bodies as well as being a phrase people say to others to imply that they encounter issues and need to comply themselves, which is true of my characters with their odd personalities.

I liked the indie look from analysing 'Before I Disappear' so went with this psychedelic look for the background which connotes the quirkiness of the film and draws in the attention of young adults and teenagers, which also works since my film is semi-independent.

The font I used is bold yet broken up to imply the differences and space between the two main characters as well as looking fantasy-like since my film would technically be fantasy.
I will use this font for the Little White Lies magazine cover and poster for convergence and consistency.

The background I found is actually a moving image from youtube which is free to download and use. I will use this for my other intertitles during the trailer.

Film Title + Font Ideas

From looking at several films I could either focus the title on one genre or try to imply that the film is a comedy and thriller . I also want it to imply that the film is about switching bodies. I also want the title to be short and snappy.

These are my title ideas:

1. The Body Swap
2. Mash-Up
3. Duo
4. The Do Over
5. Juxtaposition
6. Belief and Denial 
7. It's love-hate relationship 
8. Hot Ice
9. The Rematch
10. Start Over

I chose my three favourite title and used Dafont and photoshop to get an idea of what they would look like in posters and on magazines. I used my font research to get ideas of how to edit them. I like all three so I will ask others or do a survey to see which one fits bests.
