Mine and Alyce's day at the cinema

On Sunday evening, me and Alyce went to the cinema to watch 'The Vow'. We had been talking about going to see it once it had been released, so we decided to go. It was such an amazing film and I recommend it to all. It had my two favourite actors in it, Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. It's about a married couple who have a car accident, and the Rachel McAdams, who plays Channing Tatum's wife has brain damaga due to the accident and doesn't remember her husband. During the film, you see Channing try to rekindle their love, and remind her why she fell in love with him in the first place. I won't give too much away, but I really do recommend it and I adivse you to bring a packet of tissues with you!

Weather forecast

Wooooo snow again! Hopefully we can get more footage over the weekend if it'a heavy enough. We have a lot of filming from last week when it snowed, but extra footage won't do any harm. At the moment we're on 1 minute 30 seconds, so we need roughly 30 seconds of footage more. If it rains, we will film to get a few seconds more.

Fonts for our film opening

I have been looking into fonts for our film opening, and I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'm wondering whether or not we should have a quirky font, or a bold almost scary font. I personally think a quirky, squiggly font will suit our film as it reflects our film as it is indie and quirky.

Our second draft

This is our second draft of our film opening. As you can see it has progressed smoothly since our first draft. We are hoping to still film, and get the footage we need. We need to also film an ending which leaves the viewers wanting more. At the moment it almost looks like a music video, so we are hoping to maybe add another character in towards the end of the 2.00 clip.

Definitions

Hopefully I will add more definitions here, but for now I have 3 key terms for section B in the exam.

Consumption: People paying at the cinema, renting or buying DVDs and downloading and purchasing related products.

Distribution: Promoting films and getting them into cinemas and out on to DVD as well as any spin offs/related media products.

Production: Making films

The Woman In Black

Yet another film I am dying to see in the cinema. This time I think I'll cry with fear! I've heard great things about the theatre production, so I'm hoping the film lives up to my expectations. The Guardian said "It has proven the most successful British horror of all time at the box office". It stars Daniel Radcliffe, who is famously known for his role as Harry Potter. My media class is hoping to watch this in the cinema when it comes out. Absolutely terrified!

The Vow

I do not know how I'm going to cope watching the film as I've already cried at the trailer! This film looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to watch it as soon as it comes out. I have heard that it is an amazing film that will leave me wanting more.
