Risk Assessment

-Before we filmed, we made sure that the location would be safe, so we went during the day which also benefited our lighting.
-We also made sure that our actress did not have to do any unsafe stuff that would cause her harm in our film.
-We made sure not to disrupt the public whilst filming
-We made sure that our filming equipment would not obstruct the area we was filming in.
-Before we started filming we made sure the camera was safely attached to the tripod and set up correctly so it couldn't harm anyone
 around it and we could not harm the camera.

Rat Race

Rat Race's title sequence was very effective as it was very fun to watch and got the audience to pay attention  it also introduced the characters so we knew who they where before the film. It set the genre of it being a comedy  it appeals to young and older people. The music was very effective as it had the name of the film included into it, it also linked in very with was happening. It was very upbeat and also linked into the film. The bright colors draws you're attention  the heads that aren't in proportion to the bodies makes it very comical and child like, it represents the film to be a bit silly and the characters are going to be quite childish. 

Why I Chose My Title


We came up with it by researching words to do with our film like 'mental' or 'sadness' and saw if other more striking words came up that would relate to our film but also bring attention to our film. We also did not want to use a film name that had already been used to we used a word that isn't commonly used as others. 

My title is called indignation, i called it this as it means righteous anger and displeasure at something unjust. In our film she is angry at the world as she is going through something unjust, so the title fitted in with our film therefore we chose it.

Costume For My Film

We tried to make our character have a unique style so she would stand out, but we also made her look stylish and attractive to appeal to the target audience. We used a fashionable top to make her look like an average girl but with the hooped earrings jean jacket and messed up hair gave her a uniqueness that made her stand out. It also showed how she was different from the rest which compared to her mental condition is different from the rest. We thought that the outfit appealed to the target audience also as we are going for the young adults and that it the sort of fashion they are into. 

Title Production/Distribution Company

Vertigo Films:

It is co-owner of Protagonist Pictures, although its films are not exclusive to the company. Vertigo also has a successful post production company in Berlin, The Post Republic. 

Casino Royale



This opening I think is very effective, the opening gives you a good idea of what the film is going to be about and gives a good twist of action vs casino.
The animation is effective and gives it a more light hearted feel whilst showing shooting and killing. This may represent that it was a good thing to kill these people and keeps the audience on the main characters side.
The use of using clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades which are all to do with cards shows that it will be about card games and how he uses it to his advantage. The twist of using the casino and the guns makes less graphic and pretty much tells you the sense of the film.
Having the main character featured in the title sequence introduces you to the character and and shows what he is like.
The music used is very effective as it is quite upbeat yet has a dark twist to it. It also fits into the title sequence as it goes along.
