Final Filming

We re-did our alcohol scene because we were not happy with it because it looked to staged. Nobody was talking or laughing. We got a few friends to come and make it look more realistic and a few bottles of alcohol. We asked people to be a bit loud and all over the place. We felt that this second shot at it looked more realistic. We also filmed Rosie walking past putting in some headphones. We are going to use this shot for when the soundtrack switches to a different pace/sample and the music that is playing looks like it is the music that Rosie is listening to.

Soundtrack

Our soundtrack was compramised of several layers put together. In total i used eleven layers put together, fading them in and out at the right parts. I used ten samples and on some of them i changed the effects. On one of the samples i added some gate to it and some overdrive to make it seem a bit 'trippy'. I was also going to flange it a bit but this came across to alienated. I chose the samples i did because i wanted to create a RnB soundtrack with a bit of trance/techno. Some of the trance/techno was in the alcohol scenes because i wanted things to seem slightly longer. The music i created was aimed more towards teenagers because a lot of teenagers listen to trance and RnB. Some of the samples i selected were trance and others were RnB or Electric Drum Beats. In one of the scenes we changed the beat for when Rosie puts some music on; giving the impression that this is the music she is listening to.

Our Moodboard

Our moodboard is a collage of images together. We put in it typical factors that are in a British Socialist realist drama. Alcohol, housing estates, drugs, sometimes domestic violence, drugs, fighting and school/college life. These are all of the factors that are going to be in our Film. In our film Tom is going to start abusing Rosie because he is hooked on drugs. And Rosie has also got hooked on drugs. So we got two pictures of Domestic Violence and Drugs. Unlike a lot of British socialist realist drama's we are going to take out a lot of the home life and show what happens to the teenagers when there away from home and focus more on the school/college life. This will show what there like when there completely independent. A lot of teenagers drink and smoke so i got a picture of a varitey of different alcohol brands, and when people are fueled with alcohol they become violent and abusive so i got a picture of some fighting aswell. This is why we chose the images we did.

Our Logo, Sparks Production

We got our logo idea from brainstorming company names. We thought that we could come up with a name that was to do with Fireworks; this then lead us to the idea of Sparks-Production. We then got an image of some water at nighttime and placed a picture of Fireworks over it. We wanted to create a colourful logo that people would remember and associate with the two words Sparks and Production. Our logo has a variety of colours in it, and alongside with the water and the stars it create quite a picturesque, mystical environment.
