Evidence of how Planned Opening Matches Real Openings

Our planned opening matches the film conventions/codes, genre and audiences because we have studied similar films and they all use the same themes of danger, fear and emptiness. These conventions and codes we have included into our film opening is the enigma code meaning the audience is constantly questioning what is going on and what is going to happen  

Moodboard - Fallout

This is our moodboard which shows some of the ideas and themes we want to replicate because these are successful films and if we can replicate some of the things they have done then our film will be very good. We have lots of photos of mushroom clouds because we want to be able to show what happens to cause all of the danger and because of this we want to find a short amount of footage to show the explosion which will then establish the setting and the explosion which has lead to all of this death and danger.  

We have a lot of photos of barren wasteland read with long grass we feel that these kind of locations are going to be effective in our film because we want to create the feeling of emptiness and we feel these locations are the best way to replicate this feeling. 

We have included the titles from zombielander because we feel these are very good titles and we want to try and replicate these in the best possible way we can. We are also going to use the titles from zombielander to ensure we have them all in the right order to enable us to access the highest marks possible and because of this there will be no errors because we will replicate them and change there names to ours.    

We also have some costume ideas in our moodboard because if we have a character we want them to look correct and not just like a normal person going about everyday life and because of this we have found these images of people from similar films to ours. We have looked at there clothing closely to ensure our character looks right. 

Font Ideas - Falllout

These fonts will help us decide which one we will use for our titles because we need to choose one which gives the feeling of danger so for example we couldn't use Futura because it looks normal and something you use all the time whilst typing because of these connotations with everyday life this font would not be suitable and we should opt for something that looks more like Impact. The impact font is one which is rarely used during everyday life and because of this it is more suitable for our film because it will less widely recognised and therefore give the impression of danger and the unknown with things associated with destruction like the one in which we hope to create in our film Fallout.

This font is one of ideas which we may use because the chunks which have been taken out of the bottom add to the feeling of danger because to is like the font is falling apart much like the world will after the explosion because of these connotations i feel this font will be a good choice for the title of our film The Fallout.

Final Film - Fallout

This is our final production with changes in the music to give the film a more powerfull and creepy feeling because we chose music with a empty and disasterus sound meaning the footage feels more real and powerfull. This was one of the main areas which we recieved feedback on from our peers and teachers when they watched our first draft.

Pictures - Fallout

 

 

 

 

These are our photos which we have taken during the cource of the production process i have uploaded themto photobucket in order to show our pictures in  a slideshow format to make it easier to view. These pictiures are from our shooting location and during the editing process as well as our titles reserch. I chose these pictures in order to show everything we have done in our group.

Synopsis Planning - Fallout

Fallout

Fallout is our film we have based it loosely around a nuclear disaster from which no one has survived because of this our film will contain lots of shots about nature and how human life has been destroyed with no hope of survival. The film has a enigma code which constantly wants you to question what is happening and what will happen because it is all filmed from the point of view from the lone survivor meaning we see everything in the way he does to make you feel scared of what will happen. The way in which it has been filmed enables us to use a small amount of actors but still create a powerful meaning.

The Fallout will be filmed in a number of locations like the school, The city centre and Lee's house we are going to use these locations because we feel that we are going to be able to create the right felling of destruction and emptiness, these themes will be expressed through the way in which we film the shot hopefully in such a way that life seems like a thing of the past and all people will be worrying is about there own life and how they are going to survive. To help create this feeling we will be using some 'before; and 'after' shots using the normal city with people walking around doing there daily tasks and after the explosion we will have a desolate location with no apparent life because of the mass of fallout which has been spread worldwide.

We will not need many props however in our location we are hoping to use the old style metal bins covered in rust which we may be able to kick over to show the destruction which the whole world will feel after the nuclear explosion, by using a few amount of props we are able to show how normal life is destroyed and nothing is left if we were to use props then we wouldn't be able to show this feeling of desolation because the shots would feel too 'normal' which would take away the feeling of danger and emptiness.
