Sound Track reasearch

Bashy-Feelings
We feel that this is the type of genre of music we would like to produce for our final title sequence as it is grime and this is the type of music that the people in our title sequence would listen to.


Lady Fury- Furious Ghetto
We feel that this song suits our title sequence as it talks about having a 'hard life' and these our the feelings that we are trying to promote.

Synopsis

Main character is found walking down a neighbourhood, a working class neighbourhood just another common one of Britain. Character is described by a voice over of a female voice, the character becomes aware of his surrondings as he walks throughdifferent class neighbourhoods, through the civilised area an envy vibe is reflected to the audience. As the voice over describes events of the main characters life and past experiences the audience is brung to a new reality of life. A second shot uses more background props such as a car driving by;the desired effect to give a sense of real life and real day routines, the scene is a low angle shot revealing more of the main characters face. As the character has his life been taught to the audience,jump cut shots are used fo the effect of flashbacks of those links such as his rebelious behaviour; such as stealing a car, beating an unknown character or dealing low class drugs used by our modern day teens eg: Canabis and E's.
The voice over brings back to reality the main character carries on his walk to an unknown place. Until he comes to a stop greeting a male character with a friendship approach. Both characters have elements of laughter as they describe there day. until they go there seperate ways. The main character finally arrives to a destination, being his sixth form college, he arrives to a library, alone. Shots of him walking past book shelfs will be eye level shots with a moving camera as he walks along.
A final shot is at a completly different area in Cambridge, infront of the Cambridge University, he lowers himself and sits down on the white steps infront of the glass building. The shot contains no non diagetic sound.

Welcome to our first blog, our group members are Chisanga, Ashlea ,Charlotte and Tiffany and we have been given a project to create a film opening of a certain genre. The different genes we have been given to research are ;

We first had to create an ident to be at the beginning of our opening, which we did by using Photoshop. We decided on the title of the productions 'Scratch' and decided to having quite a grafitti-like background, so we used a brick wall image (which we found on google) as the first layer and the spray tool on the second layer to resemble spraypaint. Here are a few screen grabs of the proccess of making our Ident -


Here is a picture of the graffiti-like wall we created using photoshop:






Our chosen logo which we found off a website that allows you to make your own style of font:
