'Catch me if you can' thoughts about animation




This is the whole opening of 'Catch me if you can';


This is also another clip I found on youtube of other student's work that has used animation and I think element works really well and I'd like to include something like this in my own opening titles.

Mood Board of ideas for our own opening sequence


Influenced by 'Seven' and 'Shutter Island'.

Weather checks

We do not need to check what the weather is going to be like when filming on the 21/12/11 and 31/12/11. As all of our shot are established inside, and will not be affected by the outside weather.

Test Shots

These are test shot of the actors with there names and the roles they are playing within our opening sequence.

Location - 15 Eagles Road, Greenhithe
                  Kent, DA9 9QZ


  After asking Georgina's dad for permission, we went to Georgina's house to chose the best rooms to film our opening sequence in. We have chosen one of the lounges with is not decorated and we have taken down all the pictures and family stuff that was in the room. So it know looks like a unhomely room in which the Detective lives. 
  These are some photo's of our room for the 'Opening credits' and 'Waking up' scenes. Unfortunately there are boxes in the room as storage but they are being moved by the weekend so this will not be a problem. 




  The second location is in her office, in which we are going to turn into a interview room. We chose this room as it is at the back of the house and does not have big windows so it will look dark, which will build suspense. We will clear this room full of the items and storage it has in it at the moment.
  These are photograph of the room we are using for the 'Interview' scene;




  We chose these two locations as they are appropriate to our opening sequence, we also wanted to chose a location that would make our film look like a real film rather than a student project. 

Permission

We are filming at 15 Eagles Road Greenhithe Kent, DA9 9QZ. This is Georgina's house so we did not need to email anybody for permission, we just asked her father and he said that it is fine to shoot the opening sequence in his house.

Shoot and Edit Schedule

For filming we both think it's appropriate to make a schedule for filming so that things run smoothly and all goes to plan. It is just a rough guide of time, so we can refer to this as well as the storyboard so we know where everyone needs to be at what times. We have established that these times will be correct for how long everything will take as we have experienced from filming other opening sequence like 'Parody' and 'Dexter'. 



Production Logo


This is the first draft of our production logo. I created this composition on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Our ideas for our production logo came to use when discussing ideas sitting next to a window with the sun shining outside. We then thought about what could be outside the window, we chose a beach scene as to use it means outside the window there is all this great inspiration and ideas for when making and producing a film. The production name then came to us 'Window View Productions'.

Talking about our storyboard/Animatic


  We have spoken over the top of shot that are a rough copy of our storyboard showing what we want to show within our title sequence. I have added the photography on top of the talking so that it is easier to understand.

Storyboard for Opening Titles/Sequence





























Shot list


The First Shots we are going to film are the waking up after the Opening titles as they need to be in the daylight as they shot needs to be well lit and that is the time of day in the shot, we will be filming shots 14 too 24 in this time-space.










We will film shots 25 too 29 after the waking up sequence as we we will need daylight as it is right after the waking up sequence. you wont really be able to tell the time of day due to there not being any windows (Interview room) but even so we are going to film them at this time to simplify things.






When it starts to get darker we will shoot 1 too 13 as it is going to be a dark in the opening credits to create mystery as you cant see who is in the shot.
