Group Meeting - 15/11/11

We were not successful when filming the Dexter opening, as the camera was not working properly. We all take responsibility for the problems we faced. Resulting in this, we received a level 1 grade.
Our  action plan is now to check every camera we take out is in working order, and to check that all equipment is working.
We had story boarded it, and collected props but we still needed to find an actor and location, so we still couldn't have filmed it.

Date: Wednesday 15th Nov
Location: School disabled toilets, Nicole's house
Time: 3rd period to discuss at school, after school to shoot at Nicole's
Props needed: fly, fake blood, gammon, orange, floss, shoelaces, plan white tee,

Date: Thursday 16th Nov
Location: Outside Ashleigh's house
Time: 3rd period
Props needed: key, door, somewhere to walk away from door

Closed Door Film Production

after pitching different ideas (such as  me, nicole and Ashleigh came up with the idea of calling our company 'Closed Door Film Production' once we had decided on this name we begin to write up sketches on how the animation for the logo could work, what color the animation would be, what font the animation would be below are these sketches of these different animation ideas and how they would 'flow' and how relevant to the film company they are. (see below to look at the photo's)
