The rest of the film.....
We ended the opening of our film on the shot of Leanne burning the picture. From here we will revert back two weeks and show what has happened. A rough outline of this is that Leanne has double crossed her best friend, which would be me, due to her boyfriend putting pressure on Leanne and as he is in a gang, therefore has access to weapons, like guns to kill her friend. Moreover Leanne's boyfriend double crosses her as he tells the police that Leanne has killed her, which explains why she is scared of the siren From there on we will show the rest of the vie from the scene we filmed for the opening.

Evaluation Progress....
Currently Taneshia and I have written out our evaluation. We have just finalised each question ensuring we have enough information to reach the top grade. This includes several in-depth answers about our film opening including target audience and the certificate including answers on why we chose specifics such as the song due to it appealing to the target audience. Now all that is left is to film it (which will be happening tomorrow) then edit it together including the question and answer with clips edited in from either our film like the credits or scenes from other films from which we got our inspiration.

Final Film done and dusted
After months of filming we have finally finished and published our final film. Taneshia, Leanne, Hannah and I are very proud of the final product after worrying about it for so long. This is the opening scene for a film which we filmed which is also the end of the film as we wanted to open with the final scenes then flash back to tell the rest of the story as we thought it was quite different rather then creating an opening and this alowed us to leave suspense with the viewer allowing them to ask questions like 'Why is she burning the picture?' and so on.
We have a rough idea of how the rest of the gang culture film would be. Firstly we would do a flashback from two weeks earlier and have shots of Leanne and her childhood best friend then we introduce Leanne's new boyfriend who is in a gang, however he is jealous of Leanne and her best friends relationship so is forced to make Leanne do horrible things to her eventually leading to the murder of her best friend. I will blog at a later date in more detail of how the story will pan out but that was just a rough overview to give you an insight into our opening.

The font
As I said in a previous post, the showcase allowed us to critique our film and notice things about it we may have not noticed when previously watching it. I loved the title sequence and thought I'd give some background into why we chose the font. As you can see below the font appears to be shattered which could foreshadow Leanne's broken life, with her killing her friend showing she is shattered and needs to out the pieces back together. Another reason behind it is watching title sequences of other gang culture films and the font they used were also shattered writing therefore our font adheres to our genre. When we first out up a font it was just plane writing but after viewing it we realized it needed more of an edge if our film was to represent a typical gang culture film and it was hard finding the correct font to use.
