Example of titles

Examples of titles from jacobegan

This is an example of the titles which could be used on our sequence, our production company would be used along side the logo we created using photoshop.

Rough Cut

props list

Production logo

These will be our studio and production logo, we came up with these names silhouette studios and bite the apple productions because they look similar to the styles of film noir. The silhouettes/shadows play a big role in film noir, this seemed the most appropriate image to use on our logo as they are used so often in the films. The production logo uses a film reel, changed to black and white to suit the style of film noir.

Risk assessment

Risk Assessment

Scene - Alleyway	As we will be filming outside all members of the cast and crew will need to be cautious of the surroundings, the filming location will need to be checked for anything which could be a hazard, thinks such as broken glass etc. Also we do not want any other people in our film so we will need to be weary of others around of us.
Scene - Pub	We will need to ask permission from the owners of the pub to begin filming in their building. The same applies outside as it does to inside, we do not want any extras in our scene so we will need to inform anyone in the pub that we are filming so we do not get anyone in the background. The area will have to be checked for any hazards such as slippery floors or glass lying around, the area for the tripod must be flat so the filming does not come out unprofessional.
Scene - Bedroom	When filming in the bedroom the same precautions have to be taken, any hazards in the area will have to be dealt with in order for the filming to take place safely.
Battery Life	When filming at locations we will need to make sure the camera is fully charged so it does not hinder our filming.
Weather	When filming (especially outside) we will need to be weary of the weather as the rain could damage the camera.
