Auditions

Today, we held auditions in a college room we have arranged to suit audition purposes. First of all the turn out was slow and not many people were coming, this could have been down to an earlier poster as people thought the date said the say before. Kim decided to go into the lunch hall to see if any people would be willing to audition for our advert. As a group were particularly interested in getting males to audition, as we already had already considered potential females for our production. We are looking for females that have a certain look about them. This being beautiful and striking. We also need to take into consideration people who have enough time to commit to our production fully with out hesitation. As the people need to be fully committed to helping us because if they are not they could hinder the rest of the project. Elliott made a form to record these details that can be viewed at elliottbasselliottbasselliottbass.wordpress.com.  We took details of our auditions so that they could contact if we need them for the film and at all times when we are filming if any one gets lost. Also there numbers are so that we can tell them following the decision. As to whether they are successful or not.  Elliott sent a simple confirmation text to achknowledge ‘Thank you for your time. We’re now looking at the photos in order to reach a decision to who is best suited to our advert production. You will receive another text in the near future stating our conclusion. Thanks again, Perfume advert crew. Please feel free to text back any questions or give us a call on this number.’

These are our photos from auditions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auditions although we thought were a sucsess they were not, people let us down and could not make the dates they had stated. We had to find someone last minute, less the 24 hours before filming time, so we called on a friend who had done modelling previously. 

She was perfect for our advert, exactly what we were looking for pretty and very striking.

 

Perfume bottles and Fashion

Perfume   Bottles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are the perfume bottles that we liked the look of to use in our perfume advert. We have decided that flowery perfume bottles or pretty structure of the bottle would be best for Bisous. As a group we feel that a Cristal perfume bottle would look better for lost and found as they look most sophisticated.

We also thought that the person who would be using Bisous would be younger and therefore the bottle could afford to look more youthful.

Fashion

Camera Shot List

We have used these shots to create the best representation of characters. We need a romantic scene and we feel these angles will enhance the fact of romance.

 

These may change later on in the filming as we may find more suitable angles that create a better representation.

 

 

 

Story boards for: bisous/lost and found

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are our storyboards that me and Kim decided upon. We wanted  to create the right atmosphere so I gave her my ideas on camera angles that would show the right representations of the charecters and mise-en-scene would be shown to the audience.

Male and female actors need to be found from our auditions.

The male needs to be brunette to create the right mise-en-scene.

The girls needs to also have ideally brunette long hair.

Props:

That need to be included in this scene are; net curtains, bed sheets. fan,lights,dressing table, perfume and make-up.

Costumes:

Male:  suits, trousers and shirt.

Female: mans shirt, slinky nightwear.

The location:

Hertford

Christina bed room

Story:

Morning and a young female is getting ready, the sun is shinning, as she is sitting by the window at her dressing table. She applies the perfume to her neck. Her husband enters the room semi-dressed in his work uniform he walks over to her and gives her a kiss on the cheek, but instead he smells her neck. They look in the mirror and they smile at each other.

We also did a camera shot list as best we could to get an overall feel of how we would like the angles to represent the people and mise-en-scene.

The story boards for lost a found show a man and a women in the middle of London searching for each

other, the man arrives just seconds after

she leaves, he then picks up the pace

of the search, before meeting on a bridge,

the idea of the bridge is to create conventions of romance. We would also like this to be in black and white to enhance the feel of romance.

Location:

London; Buckingham palace, st Jame’ park.

Actors:

Male; needs to be powerful and older looking to show maturity.

Female; needs to be blond of brunette

Props:

Perfume bottle

Costumes:

Male: suit

Woman: dress

Production log

After our day in London location scouting, we found out some very useful information this was the fact that we would be allowed to film the exterior of Buckingham Palace but only if we had a permit. We found this out by asking a police officer in Buckingham Palace where he kindly direct us to the ‘Little walk’ police station. We have scince emailed nduignan@royalparks.gsi.gov.uk and are waiting for a reply.

We found some very disirable locations this all being with in the area and grounds of Buckingham palace.

After location scouting

After our day in London location scouting, we decided on our disirable area, this being the exterior of Buckingham Palace.

These are the pictures of the places in which we would like to film.

                  

                                    

These photos give a clear indication of the mise-en-scene we would like to use. The exterior of Buckingham Palace is very picturesque and therefor would suit our theme of pretty and beautiful.

 

Permission to film

Exterior filming (The Mall, Birdcage Walk, the area surrounding St James’s Palace and the immediate vicinity of Buckingham Palace) is managed by The Royal Parks. Please contact Niki Duignan at nduignan@royalparks.gsi.gov.uk.

As we would like to film in the surrounding areas of Buckingham palace, we need to be granted permission to film as if we do not, we could be in breach of ethical issues. 

This is the email that we sent, to hopefully be granted permission to film the exterior of Buckingham Palace and are waiting on a reply.

 

 

London location scouting

 

Buckingham palace has a beautiful mise-en-scene in which our group would like to use in perfume advert. Here we could use many different angles to create a romantic scene, with lots of romantic architecture.  

Also included in this just infront of Buckingham palace there is a park where would like to film our actors  flirtatious behaviour and them plaing hide and seek.

Picture from a far then a jump cut to actor and actress on the bridge as a close up.

As a group we feel that big ben will be a very strong image in creating the write mise-en-scene in our perfume advert we feel it will give the idea of big and powerful, like the attitude of the man we will be using.

We feel the London-eye  is a strong representation of the wholeness of love that it will last forever. I feel as if it will tie in with the idea that we are using landmarks in London.

The underground station is going to be our main starting point to film, the man looking striking coming out of a station, having a clear stance of power about him. Then the chase around London to find his dream girl begins.

UP

 

 UP this is a Disney film, and this web page of ‘UP’ from the website shows automatic use of synergy.

The movie. the magazine, partners of the company, video game and book tickets for cinema. This is showing a clear use of synergy in the production, this is to control all departments of making, from the Disney website.

This are other ways of controlling the film, Yahoo a web browser and myspace these are both ways for people to talk about and discuss the film, but having control of deleting what is being said if it is not what they want.

This is showing that Disney are using other ways to promote the film by introducing vedio clips on the Apple iphone.

 

This is showing that ways in which Disney are making money from the film, by selling many products on the internet such as, sticket books, the art of UP, hard back and soft back books.

Plus the Disney website where u can buy cinema tickets, DvDs Blue ray or normal and playing video games online and an online magazine about Disney and UP.

Vedio games are also being sold on the Disney website as well as being able to play Disney’s own video game.

 

 Also travelling to Disney land where UP ballon will be.

Production log

Today as a group we have researched further into labels and fonts also Kim and I have produced some of the story boarding Christina has come up with the narative and location.

Elliott has designed a label for the perfume advert found, after playing with many ideas he came up with a label that everyone in the group was happy with.

(insert Picture here)

We also assigned jobs to each team member so they are clear about the role they are going to be playing, during research and the making of the film. Organisation helps to keep clear understanding of what needs to be done and when. This will also help when the final advert has been produced.
