Production Log 7

This week we have been looking at different fonts for our film title. In the beginning, we wanted to use 2 fonts for the title. One of which had a rough, crackly denotation and the other which had a very asian ethical touch to it. called Samarkan which we found on Dafont which we thought fit our theme perfectly.

 However, we then decided to just change the name to just 'Bridges' as it looks like it relates to our opening sequence more and much shorter and more to the point.

After watching the footage that we have recorded we realised that the opening shot wasn't smooth as we used a tripod it was very jumpy and unclear so we then talked about what we could do to improve this and the realised we were using the wrong equipment.



We then decided to use a monopod, which is commonly used for handheld movements to look clean.
This came out much clearer and looked very steady, so we are going to use the monopod when we film the real shots.

Production Log 6

This week we have looked at Live type. This is the software we will be using to create the graphics for our opening sequence. We were using it to get a feel about how to use it as it will be the software we will be using to create our graphics. We tested out with the different fonts and then thought we would try out our title which is Broken bridges. We then found a font called Cracked which gave an effect of looking broken . But we then disscused it with the teachers and thought that just 'Bridges' woulod be more or a suitable title as it is more short and just straigt to the point as many Britsish social realism films are. We then thought it would be a good idea to use DaFont to find a font that will stand out and get our theme across nicely. We then found a font that gives off an indian feel to it but still edgy as it is not so smooth.

We also went out and did some filming but it was too dark therefore we have to film again .
