Title Sequence Coursework - Footage(2)

Yesterday, I was able to get all the footage we needed. Unfortunately, my partner could not make it due to her being ill, so I had to film but myself. I filmed from as many angles as possible and did more than one take of each part to ensure I had all the footage I need. I have gone through the footage and it came out great. I can use the footage in my title sequence as the lighting, angles, etc. came out perfectly. Below are some screenshots of the footage that we filmed yesterday, as you can see it came out much better than the first time we filmed.

Title Sequence Coursework - Filming(2)

I have arranged to film again tomorrow as our first shot did not go as planned. However, as I could only find three girls to play the roles of the female robbers, unfortunately I will have to cut one of the female roles out to make it to three girls robbing the bank. Below are the three actresses I will be using to re-shoot my title sequence footage.

             

Tomorrow I will be filming the three girls getting out of the car and getting ready to rob the bank, with their masks on, and guns and tools in their hands. I still have not filmed that male lead's section, but hopefully I will be able to film that part in the next couple of days.

Title Sequence Coursework - Footage(1)

We planned to film the first section of the main girl getting ready, in location two. I have gone through all the footage and it has came out okay and is usable. When filming I could have filmed from a few different angles to show different aspects of the focus. These are some  screenshots of the footage from filming yesterday. 

                             

                             

Unfortunately the traffic held us back when we were going to location one to film. This meant that when we got to the location is was very dark. I still attempted to film the whole of the girls part to see if it could still be usable footage, but when I looked back over it, it was too dark and I could barely see anything. I wanted to add screenshots of the bad footage that we took, but as we have given the SD card back, everything has deleted. This means that the dark footage, that we was not going to use is gone.
I will arrange for us to re-shot the girls getting ready to rob the bank in location one, one day next week. Also, we still have to arrange for the male role to be filmed of him getting ready and also pick the soundtrack that will be played over the title sequence.

Title Sequence Coursework - Filming(1)

Me and my partner are planning to film the girls shots today. We will be going to out first location and filming one of the girls getting ready and soon after we will head to our second location to film the girls getting to the bank they are just about to rob.

                                                                                                    

The girls above are the four actress we will be using for our title sequence. Each girl is one of the four bank robberies in our narrative. The main girl, the one of the far right, will be the one getting ready, by putting make up on, packing the bag, putting her mask and picking up her gun. Then the other three will join her in getting out the car and going to their positions to rob the bank.

Title Sequence Coursework - Crew

I chose Elliott Hostette as the production designer because he was the production designer in Spring Breakers. Obsession and Spring Breakers have a very similar narrative, with the same idea of the four girls going against the law and living life on the edge. I think Elliott Hostetter would be a good production designer because his had experience with the same sort of storyline and would be able to use his past experience on this title sequence.
The creators of Breakneck, Barrie Gledden and Tim Reilly, were the ones who made the track. I chose there track because I thought Breakneck would be well suited for my title sequence and would be parallel to the title sequence. It is fast paced, which builds tension and creates intensity.
Luc Besson was one of the producers for the Taken trilogy and also was a producer is many other high budget films. I think Besson would be interested in producing Obsession because it has similar qualities as Spring Breakers.
I chose Robert Mark Kamen and Harmony Korine to be the writers of the film. This is because Robert Mark Kamen was the writer of Taken, the Transporter films including the future Transporter films that have been announced. He has written Action films, Thriller films and Action Thriller films, which makes him a desirable writer for this film. Harmony Korine is also a desired writer as he was the writer for the Spring Breakers, which has a similar concept to our film.

Title Sequence Coursework - Soundtrack

For my title sequence I used audionetwork.com to get our soundtrack. This was to ensure that our soundtrack, on the title sequence, was not copyrighted. I went through the tracks that were best suited for the theme and narrative of my title sequence. The tracks that would really go with my title sequence would be the ones that are fast paced and electric as this would build more tension in the title sequence. I will choose one that is parallel with my title sequence, which would give the title sequence a more finished look. It would also build more tension as it would be fast paced and intense. Below are the ones I though most suited my title sequence and would convey that Sterling Heist is a Thriller.

 

 

 

Out of these four tracks, I will have to pick one that I think would properly suit my title sequence. These means the track would have to be face paced, intense and really go with the genre and narrative of Sterling Heist. I have chosen Breakneck, by Barrie Gledden and Tim Reilly, as this one seemed like the best one that would suited the genre and narrative.

Title Sequence Coursework - Costumes

Throughout the title sequence the costumes are going to be the same for each character and it is only covering one moment of their lives. As the girls get ready to rob the bank, they will be wearing all black. They will have the wear black leggings or jeans, a black top and shoes, and a black coat or jacket. Wearing black would help the girls blend in when they are leaving the bank, because they could not identified by any distinct piece of coloured clothing. Examples of what they should wear are in the pictures below.

As the detective are getting ready, I would like him to wear a white shirt, a dark coloured tie and a black or grey suit. This is because the detective needs to look smart and professional to make him look respectable and high up in his job. The detective will also be wearing a gun on his belt with the holster that has a police badge on the front. Below are example of similar clothing he would wear.
