My Contribution To Ultimatum
- Construction: In terms of the construction of the
film I myself wrote the entire opening sequence,
casting the characters and designing the entire
plot itself. This started because my group decided
that my log line was the best choice for our
production. This is all availible to view on my
previous blogs where i have detailed descriptions
of character, setting, location and much more.
- Shot List: I myself also created the Shot List for my
opening title sequence (Ultimatum). I personally
found that constructing this Shot List made the task
of filming almost effortless as every single shot that
we needed to film was well documented in the shot
list that i had created. Furthermore, this detailed list
is also on my blog for others to use. It is also worth
noting that all 3 other members of my group have a
copy of this shot list on their individual blogs, in
which they should of given me credit.
- Costume and Makeup: I myself also
created a blog on the costume and
makeup that i felt each character
needed to have in the opening title
sequence. I felt that this blog post was
extremely helpful when it came to the
filming of the opening sequence as we
knew straight away what image we had
to contract as it was well documented
on my blog post.
- Editing: In terms of the editing in the film it was mainly
myself and Connor Crosby doing the editing, the
standard procedure would be that i directed him as to
what i wanted to be seen and we would both think
about different ways and techniques that we could use
to construct this idea. Conclusively,in our production
Connor is credited as producer and myself as
co-producer. However, often after the entire group
finished filming we would all get together and review
what we had filmed and how we wanted it to be
portrayed on the final cut, this often led to editing and
interesting group debates about what went best in
which places of the sequence.
- Filming: In terms of the filming process
of our opening title sequence, i myself
worked closely with Connor and other
members of the group who however were
starring in most of the scenes to find the
best camera angles and shot sizes to use
throughout. I myself feel that the entire
group would decide on the best shots
and sizes to use throughout, as you can
see we have a fantastic knowledge of the
filming process and camera placement.
- Directing: In terms of the directing of the film
i was the main person in that respect
however the entire group did add their
respective opinions which further
strengthened the integrity and quality of the
opening sequence. Seeing as i wrote the
entire treatment i felt that it was almost my
job to bring the entire sequence to life and
create something that was extremely thrilling
to match the genre and to entertain the
audience.
- Although it wasn't a main concern for the group, i myself
was the main instigator of organising the filming, editing
and overall production of Ultimatum. I felt i did a good
job in motivating various members of the group and
organising things like the availability of Camera's,
contacting the foley artist, arranging editing and filming
times and casting and hiring the young boy, who is
Jack's son in Ultimatum.
- Furthermore, myself and James
constructed the Storyboard. I myself scripted the
entire thing and James illustrated most of
the pictures on the board, for our final
opening title sequence, Ultimatum.
- I also took it upon myself to design a
feedback questionnaire for the pre cut of
Ultimatum in order to find out exactly
what our target audience thought about
our final opening title sequence.
- We also needed feedback from the final cut of our final
opening sequence, Ultimatum, and so my group
including myself took it upon ourselves to interview our
target audience about the sequence itself. This video
itself is available to view on my blog, as you can see i
myself ask most of the questions and the interview was
filmed by the other members of my group, Connor,
James and Jack
- I myself also held an interview with editor Micheal Harrowes.
During this Skype call i was able to ask him various questions
about his editing career and exactly what he thought an opening
title sequence should contain. I found this very helpful and felt
very privileged by the fact that i got the opportunity to interview
him.
