Production Logo

Here is the logo we created to represent our production company. Having a logo will help people remember the company. To create this logo I used Photoshop

Logo Research

This research shows that most logos are very simple and basic. This enables audiences and other people remember them more easily. They all use a minimal amount of colour and the name of their production company as the main part of the logo. This gave me the idea of creating a simple but effective logo that features "BEV Productions" as the main part of the logo with a small video image next to it against a black background. The black background draws attention to the text and image.

Assess list (filming equipment)

The filming equipment we need to film the footage on.

-camera
-tripod
-tape
-camera battery
-camera wire
-camera bag

The camera is so we can record the footage on having a built in mic makes it easier when recording the footage as we will not have to bring more things with us.

The tripod we will be using so the camera can stay still making the footage more clear and better quality.

The tape is so we can store the footage somewhere and also we will be able to transport it easier. 

The camera battery is so we don't have to charge it while filming. 

The camera wire is so the footage can be transferred easily from the tape to a computer then edited. 

The camera bag is so the camera will not get damaged when getting to the filming destination. 

We will be getting this equipment from school as they will be providing this all for us, it's our task to plan, research and film an opening sequence to a Thriller.

This is all the equipment needed to film the opening sequence to our Thriller, making an asset list is key as it almost acts as a tick off list of the things we will need to make sure we will be needing to film our opening sequence. 

Actors we will be using

These are the actors we plan to use in our opening sequence of our Thriller. We will have back up actors just incase someone falls ill and can't make the filming date. We only need three actors to produce our opening sequence, business man, trespasser and the woman, who's the file is about.

These are the actors we have in mind to act for us in the opening sequence:

This is one of the women we have asked to act and be photographed as the women who is being targeted by the trespasser to blackmail the businessmen.

This is one of the possible treaspasser as they need to dress smart and also look as though they are old enough to work in an office.

This is the business man we will be using when we produce our opening sequence.

Asset List (props)

This is as list of props that we need for our Triller. There will be a main prop which will give out a lot of information needed. 

The props we will be using are:

-A brown envelope

-Desk 

-Office

-Brief case

-Gun

The brown envelope is probably the main prop which will contain the information on the women being stalked which has a very strong relationship with the man who works in the office. The trespasser will be dropping the brown envelope off. The brief case will be brought in by the business man. The office is where the main part of the opening sequence will be filmed. The gun will be in the draw of the business mans desk as it will get the audience thinking.

The brown envelop and gun we will be getting from Amazon, the gun will be a fake plastic gum. The desk and office will be at the location and my dad has a briefcase which we will be using. 

This is a collection the props, we will be using all of these as our main props. The brown envelop will contain all the information on the man's wife or girlfriend, who the  trespasser is black mailing with to the business man.

This is a pitcher of that will be inside the brown folder about the women who is being stalked.

The brown file will contain things, such as, passport, finger prints, mortgage details, passport photos and also bank statements.

Costume of the characters

This is the type of costume the characters will be wearing while filming the opening sequence to our thriller. As we will be using cctv for our evidence we will need to have a number of different outfits to show that this has been going on for a while, there will be a number of different outfits that the woman may typically wear. The business man will be dressed in a suit and also the business man who is trespassing into the office, dropping off the file will also be dressed in a suit.

This is the kind of clothes that the female who is being stalks will wear. This also covers the kind of make up she will be wearing which is quite natural. This clothing gives the image of a stereotypical woman, it also gives the image of a woman who could be very vulnerable. This clothing also draws male attention.

This is the kind of clothes that both of the men will be wearing, as its very business dress so it will draw less attention to what the second male is dropping off the file. a smart suit indicates a working class person, also it gives the impression an individual is very independent and high class.

After looking at the outfits for the characters we now know that the female has got to have a number of different outfits as she will be seen on different days wearing different outfits. The males will be wearing smart suits as its going to be set in an office and the male trespasser wont want to be caught out. These costumes will be brought by myself as we are producing the opening sequence and the actors are doing us a favour.

Location for our Thriller Reccess

The location of our thriller will be in a office, the office will look like a normal office as it will  draw less attention to what is going on. The men we will be dressed in a smart suite. We will follow the office working to work as though it's like any other day. The man being followed will have research on the building plan so he knows where he needs to be.

This is the outside view of the office we will be using when filming our opening sequence.

This is the inside of the office we will be using. The business man who works in the office will have his own office which the trespasser will know the building as he'll know his way around the building almost as though he works there. The brown envelope will be posted under the business mens door and after he's looked at the file the trespasser will then come in and aim a gun at the business man.


The address of our location is:

Questor House
191 Hawley Road
Dartford
Kent
DA1 1PU

How we will be getting to the location is a number of ways, such as, buses the 414 stops out side the location, we will be running lifts for actors unable to get to there, the location may also be in walking distance but it all depends on the weather as the actors will not want to get wet on their way to the location. If the actors use their own form of transport, such as, their own car then we will be giving them petrol money. If one of the actors use trains or busses we will sub them the money. We feel as though we should do this as they are helping us out and are using their own time to help us produce the opening sequence.
