Title Sequences

Lately I can't stop thinking about Opening title sequences. I don't know why, maybe cos we're going to have to make one soon and I'm shittin myself thinking what I'm doing!! I'm just constantly looking out for it, thinking of what and how I'm gonnna do mine.

Here's a site which featured 30 inspirational title sequences.

Our story is about this delusional, obsessive man who still fantasises and goes insane over his ex girlfriend who is clearly over him. How far will he go to repossess her? What could be the consequence of his actions?

So for our story, I have some ideas about my title sequence.
There's so much that we could do, like animating a title sequence, have heavy typography etc but because the title sequence has to tie in with the movie, I thought filming the title sequence would best represent that.

I'm really inspired by the opening sequence on the movie SE7EN, how there's so much intricate detail in the cinematography, how it sets the mood for what we're about to watch, and how it's almost like a preview for what's in it but really, we don't even know what it's for. I think I've already talked about this before. =P

But my point is that I like how that could be used in our film. I could have macro shooting on things both the characters could be doing? That could be nice, wouldn't it? Lighting tea lights, writing furiously, pouring coffee. I don't know stuffs like that. But maybe sharper quicker cuts?

Another idea I have is in the woods, where the climax of the movie takes place. I could have an establishing shooting there, giving an eerie feeling of the woods and it would eventuate to almost a running scene and really intense cutting, then goes to black- straight into the beginning of the movie afterwards.

I'm really thrilled about doing the filming for this. In my head it would be just before the sunset, like the mood in the images above. I like the fog in these images, the mysterious atmosphere; the foreboding feeling. I just need to find a place where I could film this and drag a friend to tag along with me to film it!!

By the way here's the Animated Production Company Logo I've come up with. I have two finished products. I'll post them both up.

Voila!

Freki Jukatt Alive!

It's amazing how we're progressing! Right now, we have established our film story, we have our own animated production logos, we started filming the other day and we're moving forward.
Jodie showed us some packaging ideas the other day for our DVD case. It's very inspirational and awesome.

These are just some of them!
I'll put up the animated production company logo we've been working on later.

Filming!

Yesterday we started filming for our film.. It didn't exactly go how we would have liked it. Lol. We spent too much time mucking around, we played games, went to the shopping centre instead of preparing our shots.
But we had fun. Besides the actors weren't gonna come until later, and I think we just got too relaxed.
It takes forever to set up a scene and get all different angles and all that. We spent the whole day at the location, and we only managed to do half of what we're meant to.
Here are some snapshots of yesterday's filming.

We haven't done our outdoor scenes yet! :(

"Get Up and Go" Done!

Hey there :)

Just an update ya'll. So yesterday we handed in our Get Up and Go, or I'm not sure, maybe not really a proper hand in. But we are to stop working on it from now on.
Anyways, I just thought I'd post it up here for everyone to see.
The feedback I got from it, from what I remember, was that it was cute. haha
The font suited the video well; I could've added feather on the masking on the words and also it would have been nice to make the little words kind of wobble a little bit, to go with my wobbly filming. lol

Next thing we're working on is the Production Company logo. You know the ones like 21st Century Fox, Universal Studios, just to name a few. Our PC name is "Freki Jukatt" combining all the names of the group members; Freda, Kimbo / Akira, Julie and Kattleya. :) It just so happens that it sounds racist. Lol

Have a good day!

'Get Up and Go' going!

Hola!
I just felt like updating ya'll, whoever's reading this, of my 'Get Up and Go' video progress.
I finished! Weeeee

I got my all my shots done the other day and finished editing everything yesterday. I'm so glad that's out of the way cos there's like a TONNE more to do.
It's not the best, but hey, it's our first actual After Effects editing task. I'm just glad I got through it.

I don't think I should post it up here just yet. Definitely next week, when it's due ;)
