Font Research

For the titles and names that appears during the title sequence, Tyrell and I investigated and looked into different fonts within 'Dafont'. We finally came across a font in particular in which we again felt fitted the theme of our title sequence, with this font being the 'Dark Underground' font. We chose this font as we felt it appeared to look very gritty yet bold and again, eye-catching.

For our font choices for out title sequence, Tyrell has done a bit of investigating into which fonts in particular best suits the dystopian theme of our genre for the titles. After spending multiple and countless times searching through the website 'Dafont.com', I came across a font in particular that I felt really stood out and fitted very well for the font on our government's map. I used the font style of 'Orion' to achieve this as I felt as though it was bold and eye-catching, which is essentially what I felt was needed.

On Thursday 18th February 2016, Tyrell, Jacob and I decided to meet to shoot the scenes for our Rebels and Scavengers for our title sequence. Unfortunately, due to miscommunication, Jacob wasn't able to come and film with us on the day. So, Tyrell and I brought the tri-pod and the two cameras with us. We decided to use the location of Fanny on the Hill park in Welling for both of our scenes. Luckily, we managed to get 3 actors to act the parts. In the park near the woods, we managed to build and create a mini-set of survival things such as: shelters made of twigs, an amateur clothing line and an stack of twigs for a fire. We then shot this and took multiple angles and camera shots to achieve the vision we wanted for this Scavengers scene.

For the Rebels scene, we went to a back road near the park in Welling. Down this road, we saw a wall covered in graffiti, with the road looking quite desolate. We came supplied with 4 fake guns for our actors to use for the Rebels scene, along with scarfs and bandanas to create an atmosphere of mystery and, to make them look the part for this particular scene. We also experimented with different camera angles and different camera shots to help achieve the visions we had set.

The Shard

On Tuesday 16th February, Tyrell, Jacob and I traveled into London in order to capture the two establishing shots that we needed: The Shard and a Church. We took a tri-pod and two cameras. At the Shard, we recorded using both the cameras on the tri-pod and, the camera seperately to give a hand-held effect. We panned left and right to try and get the full effect of the Shard and, we titled the cameras going from top to bottom and from bottom to top. As we traveled deeper into London, we also decided it was necessary to record the outside of a church, again using the tri-pod and camera together and then the camera seperately. These two establishing scenes that we shot were for our government scene       and for out evangelist scene in our title sequence. 

 

This is documented feedback from fellow students in our class. I took the initiative to make a power point presentation with all the feedback sheets that were filled in during the screening of our first rough draft of the title sequence. 

Feedback from Danny Wright

For our title sequence, we have decided to create a map consisting of the different names of our cults and groups. It features a futuristic outtake of a city and includes highlighted areas of where the different cults are staying. We created the map using Photoshop and we managed to find the font of 'Orion' for the typography used on our map.

Storyboards

For our initial ideas we had to storyboard what our idea was to get a visual idea of what we first thought of to set our creation in stone. We storyboarded our ideas by drawing out each major scene and the types of camera shots and angles we'd be using. Although this isn't necessarily the final copy/version of the way our title sequence looks, it is a rough idea as to how we want the finished version of our title sequence to look like.
