Creating The production Intro and Wrong direction Picture

At home I had created the Production Intro for our media film opening, I also created the wrong direction picture at the end. The Production intro was made in a sophisticated software called 'Adobe After Effects', It proved changeling but looking at tutorials and also the skills I had learnt from editing I had managed to piece together a Introduction to our film opening. I think overall the intro I had made was good but could be improved by having the colors more dark so it fit's in with our genre, I felt disappointed that I couldn't do this but the trial of 'Adobe After Effects' had ended and I also needed to upload the overall video so time was not on our side unfortunately.

The wrong direction Picture at the end of our media opening was made in a software or programme if you like called ' Adobe Photoshop CS5' I had made this in my own time and also felt that the overall product of the image was good but again time wasn't on our side in which I think if I had put more time into it I could of made it more better.

Programmes I had used:

Location Scouting

As you can see From the pictures we had time to go location scouting in which we found suitable to film our horror opening. We found it suitable as it has tall trees in which it creates tension as you never know what can come out of the trees and also feel enclosed and feel small, another reason we found the location suitable is that it was out the way of the suburbs meaning their wasn't any sign of houses which played a part in our plot as they are lost so their shouldn't be any houses in the camera's views as that will defeat objective of the plot, if their was houses in the camera's view or the audiences view then when it comes to the group being lost then their not really lost when they could just follow where their houses are. The trees proved useful for us as we had planned to get a bird eye view shot so that when the camera is facing down on them it gives the audience a feel that they are small and vulnerable meaning that they could be exposed to an attack by anything.

Media Product: Media Film Opening Wrong Direction Draft One

Here is Our group opening film called 'wrong direction', at this moment in time it's a draft as it's not fully finished yet as we need to improve a few things for it to be our final finished film opening.

Update 6/3/12

Mistakes
This is our draft of our film opening in which had a lot of mistakes such as dean being lost and also when Mathrew and Daniel have the camera we didn't show that. Another mistake we did was the audio was not in snyc with the video so that was another mistake we had did.

Developed Treatment

The setting
The setting for our a film will be the woods. The setting is the woods in which is secluded and dark, In the woods are high tree which blocks out light and also feel enclose as if their is nowhere to go. From this setting it puts the characters in secluded place or isolated, this is nowhere to be found in which you can't see any buildings such as houses so this makes a good setting for our genre horror as their is know to help the characters and also nowhere to run. Our key element in our setting is the light, the light will be dark in which this will happen from natural light, this will create tension to our film opening. From all these elements of our setting overall it will be a mysterious and creepy place to be in which will be scary for an audience to watch.

The protagonist
The protagonist in our film opening is a sort of character (main character) who is 'jack the lad' in which that audience can relate to. At the start of the filming opening he will start off towards the audience as a character that they might not feel sympathetic for as he isn't grateful for anything. His friends lives are put in danger, he escapes the woods or forest if you like and that's where it's a life changing experience for him. I think the audience can relate to him as people take things for granted where as the protagonist has his life changed by what happens in the film opening.

The antagonist
The antagonist within our film opening is a character that was once lost like the group does in the film, the antagonist which is the disfigured character in our film was in the same situation as the group but was forced out of society due to the characters differences in which then lives in a isolated place. The only was for it to survive is to eat people, the antagonist could not find his way out once forced out of  society , being forced out of society and not finding a way to survive he turns in to a cannibal. The antagonist will have no voice as he has no voice because of being stuck in the woods for so long.. The antagonist has a one part of a mask which represents that it has a good side but also has a dark side from his dark and unpleasant past. From these aspects of the antagonist it shows his personality and behavior as he doesn't have a voice which says he was a quiet character when he wasn't forced out of  society  which you can argue he was bullied as to why the character doesn't talk.

The three Act Structure 
The three act structure for our film is, a group of friends are looking to get to a party but are quite late and are not sure in which way to go, they ask for help from a stranger at the road side, and end up getting incredibly lost in a forest, this is the set up.
The setback : The setback for our film is that whilst the characters are lost they begin to lose people in the group, and discover they are being hunted by a group of inbreds that live in the forest.
The resolution of the act structure is that the protagonist manages to escape from the inbreds in which the protagonists values his life more as he realizes what has happened such as Dean missing but not only that, he escaped with his life so this is why he values life more after he escapes from the 'inbreds'

Binary opposition
The binary oppositions in our film opening is dis-figured or inbreds vs regular people. We chosen this as we thought that this idea can be easily done through the use of make up to make the character scary and also the camera angles and shots to add to that tension towards our film genre which is horror.

Equibrium 
The equibrium is that the group of teenagers are on their way to a party, while walking trying to get to the party they don't really know where they are so they ask directions, after they ask someone they still don't know where they are and are lost

Disequilbirum
They are lost in the woods, it starts to get dark and eventually realize was is happening when they see their friend Daniel dead, they are being haunted by the inbreds/disfigured people.

New state of equilbrium
The new state of equilbrium is that the protagonist which is the teenagers defeat the villain which is the inbreds/disfigured people, some of the teenagers escape alive and when they do a escape with their lives they then value life more than they did.
