Task Fourteen: Production Company Logo

The logo you see above, is the logo we have chosen to use for our production company, we have decided to name it GMYC Films. We have chosen an orange colour for the logo, as it stands out well, and reflects a mysterious, dangerous atmosphere, linking with the genre of our opening sequence. This logo idea was completely made up by our group and was drawn by hand By Michael and Charlie and was fixed up by Yassir and George. As this logo was entirely made up, there was no real inspiration from other company logos.

These logos above were some initial ideas our group had, and we drew them up in order for us to decide which one worked best. Each member of the group decided to draw one logo each and at the end of our ideas session, we ended up with the finished logo hat you see below. It is a developed version of idea 1, however it also incorporates all of the logos in some way, as all of them had at least one good quality that was easy to adapt into one final image. It is the initials of everone in the group, but it is put into a spray-paint style, which is unique to us as no other companies have done this. Additionally, the 'y' and the 'c' are combined into one which is eye-catching.

This logo below is our moving image that represents our company logo. We have used orange smoke grenades that link well to the action theme of our opening sequence. Moreover the colour of the smoke could link to a dangerous atmosphere, making it a clear choice for us.

Completed logo
Below is our final interpretation of the GMYC logo. As you can see, we have now added in writing to the bottom of the logo to make it look more busy and less bland. Also we have made a few touch ups to the smoke and smoke grenades to make it clearer to the viewer.

Task Thirteen: Filming Schedule

This picture above is our filming schedule. The scenes we are filming during these 2 shooting sessions, are ones that contain our main characters. However, there are a few extra shots that contain extra characters from outside our media group. We are aiming to use an extra 5 characters from outside the group, for the fight scene within our opening sequence. There will be an additional sheet with extra characters names and filming times on, when they have been finalised.

We intend to spend a maximum of around 2 hours 30 minutes filming our opening sequence, however due to our location and the times it is available, it may take longer.

Task Twelve: Storyboard

This storyboard shows the main shots that will be included in our opening sequence. Since making this storyboard, minor changes have been made. This means scenes such as the first scene with the panning camera has been slightly altered. Also, the last shot which includes one of the characters (Odin) pulling his mask down to say his final line has been taken away completely, due to the fact that we believed it was getting to a point where there was too much dialogue, and our opening sequence was becoming more of a short film.

In addition, one of the fight scenes had to be scrapped because of timing issues, and more conclusive scenes such as picking up the package have been taken away so that less is revealed about the story, leaving the audience in suspense.

Changes Made

The changes below have been made to our initial ideas.


Characters (Changed on Script)

• Radar changed to Oracle
• Jupiter changed to Odin
• Jester changed to Reaper

Costume

• We have added Armour Reinforced Gloves to the list of costume we will wear.
• Odin will be wearing a bag on his back which he will carry the package in.

Props

• We will use an extra 2 Magnum Pistols which will be wielded by Hades.
•  Each member of the team will also have a walkie talkie/radio on them. Oracle's radio will be placed on the table beside his computer
• Suitcase/ large box has been changed to a small silver locked box.

Location

• Instead of using the open alley way near the front of the building, we have decided to use a alley way which is located in the rear of the building which is smaller and more conspicuous.

Changes to Script

We have removed most of the dialogue as our opening sequence was beginning to look more like a short film. In addition to that we also added a narration throughout the sequence. This gives the audience a more clear understanding of the backstory of our opening sequence.

Odin's Narration: It’s been six months since the war started. There’s only 4 of us left now, and we’ve taken an abandoned school as our base. This is Hulk. Well, that’s what we call him anyway. He’s not very bright, but he’s the muscle of our group and definitely comes in handy. He loves that shotgun. Says he uses it because he “wants to see the enemy die up close and personal’… That’s Reaper. He’s obsessed with that pistol. (Reaper: It's all I need) Something about it having sentimental value. You don’t wanna get on the wrong side of him though. He’s got a mellow attitude but he’s a deadly fighter. That guy is Oracle. He’s our eye in the sky. A computer genius with a sharp mentality. He pretty much runs the show from behind the scenes. Oh and that’s me. They call me Odin. I guess I lead the way for the group. I like to keep the team’s moral up and make sure no one steps out of line. Our main enemy group is lead by a man they call Hades. If we want to stop him and the war from progressing, we need to collect a hard drive which stores valuable information. We call ourselves the KFF. We kill for freedom... We had to get in there, get the package and get out. There wasn't many guards and hardly any surveillance. Me and Hulk went through the main entrance, while Reaper went round the back to look for the package in some classrooms. Sounded simple… But we didn’t know what lay ahead. All we want is piece. But if we want that… We might just have to break some rules…
