Preparing Filming for Sharp White

Preparing Filming for Sharp White

We had a lot of preparing to do before we started filming it took time but in the end we did it.

Storyboards- We had to create a storyboard that was relevant to our chosen genre, we would then use this storyboard step by step to film Sharp White.

Script- We had to create a script so we knew what was going to be said. The movie was basically silent but there was an emergency phone call at the beginning, so that was scripted.

Location- We all had to agree with a suitable location to film Sharp White, after a group discussion we all agreed we would film at Jasmines house as it was a suitable location.

Props- We had to find 3 masks for our film, after an hour of asking around the school we finally come across three masks in the Drama Department, we asked if we could borrow them for filming and the answer was yes so we could tick the box for props.
We also needed scar wax (to create a real looking, fresh and deep scar!) and fake blood...Jasmine sorted this out and ordered it online and it was worth it as it looked brilliant and very realistic!

When we would film- We all had to agree on what days we would film Sharp White. After a small group discussion we came to a conclusion...we would film for several hours within a two day period and thats all the time we needed.

Why opening title are important in the film industry

The main opening title  is considered the most important part of the film. The title of an opening sequence of a film is very important because it's the first scene is where you grab the viewers attention and interests them by the opening scene. The opening scene is what the viewers sees first, they then have expectations for the rest of the film, the first impression of what you see in the opening title is very important. 
A good opening sequence will make viewers want to watch more of the film. The average opening sequence last 2 to 3 minutes, in those 2 to 3 minutes is where the viewers see the intentions made by the filmmaker. 
Trailers are also important when advertising a film because if you see a trailer of a film that will also decide if you want to go and see it or not debating on whether it grabs your attention.
Another important element of why the opening title are important in the film industry are that they tell you who directed it and also which actors are starring in it, this is a good way to grab the audiences attention as there favourite actor may be starring in the film, and it will want them to go and watch it more.
