Research on font for the title
Example 1:
We chose this font idea because there is blood dripping from the letters which relate a lot to the movie of the title.
This can create fear for the audience as this can represent what may happen later on in the film.
This helps us engage the viewer more. As well as the font is black and bold however I may change the color

Example 2:
We chose this font idea as to its very bold and it also has a very hallucinating look to it which represents one of the main themes in our opening sequence as the main character has a loss of memory from events that happened before and wakes up with blood all over him so it gives them this modern look on a title as well as its a very simplistic look so it's not too cartoonish but gives off a serious and tense environment for the opening sequence

Props list. Mise en scene planning
Props list
Where to get it from
|
What do we need it for
|
Additional information
| |
Fake blood
|
Mystique shop, Al Barsha
|
We need it for John, to represent his pain and suffering.
|
As much blood as we can possibly get would be beneficial for us.
|
Ripped jeans
|
H&m
|
We need ripped jeans for John’s outfit, to represent how poor he is. Moreover, it can also suggest that he was hurt.
|
They should not be that expensive because we are going to rip and make them look dirty.
Size M
|
Brown shirt
|
H&m
|
This is also a part of John’s outfit. Brown and grey colours represent dirt and oldness. It might also suggest that he does not have enough money to afford nice and clean clothes.
|
It also should not cost a lot of money because we are planning to cover it in fake blood and make it look dirty.
Size M
|
Black Suit x2
Black shirt
Black leather jacket
White long-sleeve shirt x2
Black leather belt x3
|
Zara
|
Black suit and shirt, and the black color itself represents affluence and wealthiness. It is also associated with the mafia .
|
The clothes do not have to be very expensive, even though we need to represent people's affluence and power, it is just enough for them to look tidy and neat, with clean ironed clothes.
Size M
|
Black leather shoes x3
|
Mango
|
We are gonna need it for the mafia. Black color represents wealthiness and also associated with powerful, independent grown men.
|
Same as clothes shoes do not need to be very expensive because we can create this look of them being expensive by just having them clean and new.
Size 41
|
Black bag x2
Black leather purse
Sunglasses
Watches
Golden rings and a chain x3
|
Zara
|
Accessories are a really important part in creating a ‘look’ and representing a character, it can suggest whether the character is rich or poor, old or young.
|
We would not have to spend a lot of money on accessories, because they are there just to complete the look.
|
Hair gel
Makeup
Bright red lipstick
Hair straightener
|
Sephora
|
Make up is also one of the important things to describe the appearance. If the makeup is light and natural it makes us unconsciously like the character more and appeal to their role, however if it is too bright and unusual it makes a completely different impression.
|
Makeup might be a bit expensive, however we will try to look for the cheap one. Hair straightener can be used after filming too.
|
Short black dress
Red dress
High heels
Brown short heels
| Zara |
Dresses and heels are needed to represent femininity and sophistication of the characters. It can also be a way of gender representation which suggests elegance .
|
We wouldn't have to spend a lot of money on the dresses either, because for the look to seem expansive and elegant, it doesn't have to cost much.

Sound research. Foley sound
What is foley sound?
Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality
Foley is the multiplication of ordinary audio cues that are added to movies, recordings, and other media after creation to improve sound quality. these imitated sounds can be anything from the washing of dress and strides to noisy entryways and breaking glass.
The best Foley workmanship is so all around coordinated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the crowd. It assists with making a feeling of reality inside a scene. Without these essential foundation clamors, motion pictures feel unnaturally calm and uncomfortable.
Foley impacts are audio effects that are simpler and progressively proficient to perform to picture. You anticipate the film in a studio and a couple of individuals really play out the audio cues to the image. The audio cues are recorded live and are utilized in the last movie.
The most widely recognized Foley audio cues are strides and attire stir. Some particular impacts are in reality a lot simpler to do in Foley than cutting them independently.
How did you create your sounds?
For different types of sounds I used different types of materials such as:To recreate a sound of bones breaking we used celery and carrots. In silence we had to break them and record the sound.For the fighting seen we had to punch the pillow and record the sound as well which we edited later with the video
Origin of foley sound
Jack Donovan Foley who was conceived April 12, 1891 and kicked the bucket on November 9 1967. He was the designer of many audio cue strategies utilized in filmmaking. He is credited with building up a one of a kind strategy for performing audio cues live and in synchrony with the image during a film's after creation. As needs be, people occupied with this exchange are called Foley artists.
Foley sound is inconceivably significant on the grounds that by including sounds in after creation, the sound planner has unlimited authority over the planning, quality, and the general volume of the audio cues. Foley is normally performed by Foley craftsmen remaining on a Foley organize (a territory with an assortment of potential surfaces for things like strolling or running and props for battle scenes or bones pulverizing some potential props could be carrots and peppers) in a Foley studio which is a particular sound studio, however any after creation sound studio will do with a little alteration like making the volume stronger or upgrading the sound to make it sound increasingly reasonable . They watch a screen indicating the recording they are to add sound too, and they play out their audio effects while watching this screen to guarantee that their planning is right.
How we created foley sound
We utilized nourishment like peppers and carrots to imitate the sound of bones breaking and the devastating of a skull besides we utilized cushions and a plastic box to reproduce the sound of punching and strolling. Likewise we needed to ensure the clasps coordinated the sounds in any case the clasp might want amateurish and out of synchronize with the sounds we did this by watching the clasp live while doing the audio effects which permitted us to do it with precise planning. We utilized a zoom mouthpiece to record the sounds we had the option to build the volume levels and hear the sounds live.
