Firstly for week 13 will have no progress of our development of our BSR film opening because of exams and mocks.After this we continued with our progress and wanted to start filming on the weekend 15th Sunday but during that timetable we encountered issues that held back the filming schedule and production of our film.When we arrived at the designated area for our filming on the bus we encountered some people that wanted our equipment and pursued us down and because of this we couldn't film because of these complications instead we waited in a public area most of the time and waited for them to leave or loose them and after a couple hours of doing other things because we couldn't film we eventually took another bus route home and left and because of this our entire filming has been pushed back and this needs to be addressed for the future so this problem won't ever happen again.
Our first solution is that we plan to fix early of week 15 to get as much of it as done as possible because of the delays encountered and we plan to film in a different location entirely because of what has happened we also plan to bring more people as more support the better because last time there was only four of use and originally there was six of us but only four of us could make it.It overall should be a better experience because there are less people around and its closer to us and theres more of us so the chances of it happening again are less than before,One issue that we may encounter is the time as when we finish school the time will be 15:20pm and it gets darker very early and this can be a problem and therefore we must film as early as possible to avoid any issues.

Production Log Week 12
This week we had to create and design our graphics and choose the right music for our BSR film opening sequence.Firstly the music that was chosen was by Faheem and our main aspirations and goals was to have a calm and ambient music and it contrasted to the picture that we will be showing this will be because it will enhance an uncomfortable feeling for the viewer giving a sense of fear to the audience which will help mow the audience feel for our characters and the events taking place and this helps build emotional attachment.
Four ur graphics we decided to give a visual representation of what is happening on screen which is a dull concrete based alleyways and underpasses and because of this the graphics take this shape and form by having a very bold font with rough edges and even 3D with a concrete texture to give an effect of dark but also realistic tone to the opening that is being depicted.What we also decided to have is what the text will be displaying such as director and editor and many helpers on the production.Most of the titles for the opening sequence would also be based on the lower left side of the screen so the viewer can still see the film going on in the background (which is an super imposed graphic) and the only exception is the films title and the institutional logo that will be displayed.
Overall with h decisions that we have chosen for our BSR opening most of them help keep a theme and genre and the music and graphics help portray a lot of these conventions of what makes a BSR film and this will help improve the verisimilitude of the opening sequence.Which will help enhance the experience of the audience watching the opening sequence and quality of the finished product.

Graphics for our BSR
Today i started designing and creating the graphics for our BSR opening and there are specific design treats that we wanted to include such as the use of concrete and bold text that is in 3D and this reflects the convention of a BSR film and specially our film as its set in a lot of dark concrete alleyways and we also decided to have ur text on the bottom left of our screen because then it isn't too distracting for the audience and they can see what is happening as the text will be over the footage apart from the institutional logo and title of our film and this so it gives the title and the creators of the film full attention when it appears and gives a sense of importance.We also included a vast amount of production lists and cast names for our opening graphics such as Director and many others to show who helped in the production or our BSR opening sequence.
Music for our BSR
This week we decide to start finding music for our BSR opening and the music had to follow guidelines to be appropriate to be used for our final product.Firstly it had to be calm but also intense as we wanted to give a sense of unease and tension for the audience to give a better illusion and effect for them as it makes them feel the emotion and power that is being used in the opening sequence.Another thing we wanted is that we had to make sure the music is royalty free(copyright free) so we don't get any copyright claims for the content we produce which will cause problems that we will have to face in the.
The song here is very ambient and calming the opposite of what an audience would expect from a smash mouth and "dark" BSR opening these expectations could be used to manipulate the audience really putting them off of making the effect of what is happening on screen have a larger magnitiude compared to the screen being paired with a generic action audio track in the background of the scene.
BSR's being generically and commonly known for this darkness I feel that this music would help emphasise the intensity of the opening sequence which may not have been recognised otherwise the thought of the intensity of this darkness will be taken out of the back of the readers mind and will be bought to attention.
This soundtrack also conveys similar themes to the other song and is built in a similar way, however, this song also uses more modern audio techniques such as a sythesiser and scratches similar to that of a dj's set, this music I feel will help to adress this modern vibe to the movie due to how modern the track sounds.
It also had this subtle sounding of sadness which is subtle enough to be ignored by the audience, however, I feel that in my opinion that a track like this may be used more in the recognition and repair part of the film close to a resolve in the film as the music has that feeling of hope within it, however, in contrast to this on screen we are seeing a much darker story this will certainly put off the audience. Especially since targeting a younger audience from 16-24 which have grown up with this sort of music they will be able to relate to the music much more easily.
This soundtrack is very continuous throughout the whole track it makes it much more easy in post production to edit the soundrack and stop and start the song when the song is like this. Similar to the first song, "Calm", it is a much more ambient and calming song even though the equilibrium of the movie had been unbalanced. It will definitely succeed in offputting the viewer as the audio does not match what the audience are seeing on screen.
The soundtrack is very similar throughout and does not have many changes this will help as our opeing sequence should try to be as simple as possible to draw the audience in.

Production Log Week 11
This week we have finished all the treatment ideas and
audience analysis and we have got our plan all ready and setup for our
recording sand filming when we go out in January we also have started working
on our location reccie so and we have written in specific detail about the
location and its significance in our opening sequence in our BSR film. We have
also written our shooting script for our opening sequence and have written
directly what happens in each scene and explained what sounds that can be heard
during the scene, the shots were also specified and even what angle and what
the actor’s names are. We have also done our production schedule and this
became an issue as we had to find a right time for the actors for our opening sequence
to be available for filming and make sure what role they have to be playing and
we have to explain what story is and how they affect it.
Another issue that was also addressed during our planning
was the time when was going to film and where such as 12pm or later and what
exact location we wanted to film at because
we didn’t really want to have a very dark atmosphere but at the same time we didn’t
want to have the scene to be bright as it would take away the dark horrible
feel of the opening sequence and also which day we are going to film as Friday is
the best day for us as we have the weekend so we have more time to spend on the
production, and we have the most available people during that time zone so it’s
the most efficient way for us to film which is an essential part for us as it
would be the most productive and useful
period.

Production Log Week 10
This week we finished off our treatment for our BSR film idea and story such as the narrative and we went into detail of how the opening sequence would play out and what will happen within i.e. suggested what things we would like to do if we had the budget and support of a film that film four would have and things we wanted was more advanced equipment such as DSLR cameras and audio aswell. What we also did this week was get primary research for our idea by asking people questions about our idea and story of our film in the style of Vox pop questions. We had to ask people 5 questions that would give us feedback about our film such as 'what is your opinion on this' and other questions that directly influence our film.
After the results and data we collected from all the questions we asked people, we took the main ideas and this helped influence the develop the ideas for our film such as the actors, when we asked people about the idea of slavery within our film they all thought about slavery in the past and not modern so one idea that we are avoiding is having any Black protagonist to avoid any relation to historic slavery as its a serious topic and we want to combat it and help improve depictions on it. We're not going to change the main story as well as most people think it was an interesting story that the film is based on and think its good as it helps people understand what happens in the world and it increases its publicity while its never touched at all and it needs to be addressed to help resolve the people in real life that are going through these tough experiences in life.Another thing is the style of the film such as the colour of the film, and we have taken this into account and what we have decided is that we are going to have a grey and dull colour platte to give typical life look but also to denote depression and sadness to the film.We also will have slow paced shots but also fast ones during the chase segment to give tension to the audience and give that affect of the smash mouth opening.
