The director is required to guide the technical crew as to how the script is wanted to be seen and makes the executive decisions over the artistic and dramatic aspects of the film.

The writer of the film is the person that writes the script and main story line/plot.

The camera person is the person in charge of the camera, and manages the physical operation of the camera with camera angles and movement of a particular scene.

The editor collaborates with the author to create the idea they have envisioned through altering and combining the material that has been collected in order to produce the final product.

The producer prepares and then supervises the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They are involved in helping both the creative and finance teams.

Font Research for Movie Titles - 'The Thing', 'Se7en' and 'Dexter'

I have chosen the font for 'The Thing from Another World' because I like the effects that have been placed upon the font and also how the font portrays the mood of the film. For example it shows that it is going to be either a horror or a thriller movie because of the disheveled letters and dark, neutral colours that are common within these genres.  I think this font would work well for my film as it suits the genre I am doing and would highlight the mood also.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also liked the font on the title of 'Se7en'.  This is because it is quite subtle but still stands out on the pitch black background.  As well as this, the font is quite mysterious in its shape, as it has patterns coming off of it that would be seen in an old, medieval style of book. This authenticity adds to the sense of the film as it adds a mysterious feel to the piece of how the plot of the film will unfold.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally I liked the opening titles for 'Dexter'.  This is due to the strong text, accompanied with a strong colour also.  As well as this the small specks of blood highlight the fact that the film/programme is most likely to be either horror or thriller and adds to the mystery of the piece.

Emphasis Films Logo

We have created a production company logo that will be shown before the titles of our film begin. We will edit the look of our logo to suit the film we are making, for example we will use slight hints of red if the film is a horror or bright colours if the film is a cartoon or is aimed at young children.

Script - Winter Peril (Task 4)

Winter Peril-

The film starts with a couple walking their dog round the outskirts of a field that has been recently ploughed by the farmer and the soil is all raised up, the woman looks down to see a half buried ring on the surface of the soil, as she bends down to pick it up, we then cut to a flash back of a woman being chased through a field/ area by an unknown mystery character who we see the perspective of, the only time we see this character here is a shaded shot of the person from the girls perspective as she falls down. We then cut back to a match on action of the woman picking up the ring and slowly walking away with her partner very happy to have been lucky enough to find the ring, it’s then when we cut away again to a flashback of the girl previously being chased lying dead on the floor and the shaded character walking away in to the darkness.

The couple are walking in the field and it’s set in mid-afternoon/dusk when they find the ring and the flashback scene is set at around the same time if not a little bit later in a previous year.

During the chase scene there will be screaming from the girl because she is scared of the situation she is in. Also we will be playing high tension music as from when the woman bends down to pick the ring up as she doesn't know the danger she is in of picking up the ring because of the history of the ring.

The credits will be running throughout the opening scene and will be done in a way that makes them not too prominent and at the forefront of the scene, this means that the main focus won’t be detracted from our actors.

This is the end of the scene. 

Film Pitch - Winter Peril (Task 4)

A young couple are walking their dog in the local woods when the young woman glances down to see a half buried ring in a shallow ditch, thinking no more except for the realization of her luck they carry on walking deeper in to the woods, little do they know every foot step they take is being watched by the owner of the ring, the only mysterious thing being that the owner of the ring died in the winter of 1987, when whilst searching for her ring in what was then a wood a masked unknown man chased her and brutally murdered her for no reason, to this day she can’t rest not knowing where her beloved ring is and when she sees the woman walking through her place of unrest with the ring she loved more than any other possession she will go out of her way to get it back.
