Making the Props

To make the book we went to hobby craft and bought the book, we then bought accessories such as font, and symbols to create it. We had cocktails for the girls page and images that represent the characters such as a pile of books for the nerd. this was added to the book through out the book which made it up, making it was very successful however we thought it was going to take up most of our time but it didn't really as we worked together to make it. 

Music for the Title Sequance

Music- Ben Sound 

For our title sequence we needed background music, one because music is key in order of a successful title sequence and two, so the audience can identify the genre.

We ran a poll on another group members blog with had a total of 10 votes, they had a choice between 3 songs one of them being ben sounds music piece. i voted for Ben's music because i thought it would really go well with the title seance and when i listen to it i automatically thought of teen comedy/ teenagers at high school.

Jock Scene

The jock scene in our title sequence was performed by Jacob, playing the character Michael b Jordan. We thought he would be the perfect fit one because he's generally a sporty person and does play basketball plus he's american anyway and he has the features of a american basketball player, he's tall, black and has muscle therefore he's showing the stereotype well.

His scence was done in the sports hall, which is where the basketball court is which is lucky because he's playing a basketball player and by having the court with the line and hoops really did help us deliver the codes and conventions of a basketball player.

The costume was a white jersey with red writing as shown in the picture with black shorts and trainers. Even though his costume was shown fully it was still seen and it helped him stand out amongst other characters.

Freak scene

The freak was played by myself, i was dressed in all black as you can see by the image above showing my costume. my blouse was inverted at the top which made it flick up towards my neck, this gave the outfit a really gothic look which really helped with the codes and conventions of this scene.

I done my makeup and gave myself a black smokey eye along with a white place face. i researched into films on how they portray freaks in high school films, they were shown as scary pale people with dark makeup, the paleness shows how they have no life because their inner person is dead.

The setting of my scene was in the bathroom, this is because we thought it would be a weird/ freaky place for her to be. with her being so strange we thought the toilet would be a great place to emphasis her freakiness.

Geek Scene

Frankie was our geek for this project, we thought he would fit the codes and conventions well. however we applied him with accessories that would help him deliver the performance much better, such as the glasses. we put white tape around his glasses to make him more geeky, this is because in high school films geeks glasses usually have white tape securing them together. This is because they would be broken by other people so the white type is fixing them.

The checkered shirt also gives him the geeky look, plus by having his top button done up gives him a more geeky look as well, this shows us that hes nerdy & geeky. the setting for his shooting is the science room, we shoot him walking into the science lab, he sat down and opened the book with the science lab in the background.

Popular girls scene

Here are two of the popular girls in our title sequence, they are dressed in girly colours such as pink and whites. Their make up is done pretty and bold this is so they to stand out from the background, by this it also shows the difference between the girls. It shows the difference between the freak and popular girls, the pinks indicates the girly side of girls and the freak dressed in black shows her gothic/death side.

When the girls open the book they are sitting outside together on the bench, i think by the setting being outside it will make the camera shot better beacuse it will have natural light to highlight the book better.

Settings

I took pictures of two settings of our title sequence, however there are many other locations such as the basket ball room and a science room.

Outside was the location where the "popular girls" read the book, we filmed the main girl walking with the book, then going to meet one of her friends on the bench and them two read the book together.

The toilet was the location where the "freak" filmed her opening the book. We chose this because its a weird location, like herself and it helps emphasis how strange she is.
