What is a log line?

A logline is a short summary of a film. It is meant to inform you about what the film is about and gives the audience a chance to see if they would like to watch the film or not. Log lines are therefore hold some importance in grasping a viewers attention in one short effective sentence.

A log line should be able to answer particular questions such as:

- What is the film about?
- Who are the leading characters in the film?
- What are their purposes?


Log lines are needed as they are a useful way to widen and expand the audience being targeted. An engaging may prompt a viewer from our target audience to tell someone else who many not have been initially aware of our film.

Potential Filming Locations

While discussing potential filming locations., these are few locations that we would consider filming if possible. These are locations which we feel would best help make our filming as effective as possible.

Joe's Kitchen - IntuBromley Shopping Centre

 

Joe's kitchen would be a good location for us to film one of our scenes as it has the ideal scenery that we would ideally like for our clip. This would also add authenticity the scene and therefore help this dramatic scene as both Taylor and myself go to meet Alice and found out we have been speaking to the same girl.

Costa Coffee - Bromley Market Square

Costa Coffee would be another ideal location to film as this is another place that fits under the same category as locations previously seen in other romantic comedies e.g.

coffee shops ;cafes

                                                     

                                                                                               

Review: The Awkward Moment

Over the weekend , I went to the cinema to see the rom com 'That Awkward Moment' as I thought it will be a good idea by watching a recently produced film under this genre.

In general I felt the film was good and was effective in portrayal of 3 friends who have their own relationship problems.


Does it come across as a typical romantic comedy or were there aspects of the film that made it a bit different?

Decision on 25 Word Pitch

"Two friends who are in awe of their fantasy girl fight to save their friendship after discovering they are dating the same female."


As a group we decided that this would be our 25 word pitch as it covers the basis of our storyline but does not give away the possible outcomes at the end. It informs the viewer about all the main characters and the roles they play also.

Initial 25 Word Pitch Ideas

"Tom and Jerry think they have found 'The One' when meeting new partners but through their naivety are in a relationship with the same girl."


"Two friends who are in awe of their fantasy girl fight to save their friendship after discovering they are dating the same female."


"Sam who has the admiration from two close friends endures a series of ups and downs as she decided which boy she wants the most."

What is the purpose of a 25 Word Pitch

Mise en Scene in Opening Scene

Camera angels/shots

Various camera shots will needed to be established to help our opening scene effective. Certain situations in our sequence may include conversations or a lot of movement from a character which will then vary what angels and shots we use.

Editing

Editing is key as it has to help contribute to the authenticy of our opening scene, as we do not want it to come across as 'fake' or ineffective. Editing will help our opening scene transition from different scenes and situations shown in the clip.

Sound

Sound can be used to help complement the various scenes shown in the opening clip. Music also adds emphasis to the mood and emotions that may be shown within various different scenes in the opening.


Props

Props are very effective as this will give the viewer a chance to make a judgement on various aspects of the opening scene. For example, characters can be potrayed because of their clothes,which then can lead to other perceptions such as class and wealth.
