Late post is late:

Ok, so i haven't been able to hope onto a computer and just post this, but here is the news:

FILMING AT FORBIDDEN PLANET:

-It went ok, we filmed what i said we were going to in the last post, but we were unable to film inside, so we took some pictures that we might be able to use. (It wasn't explained to me in the e-mail from Mr Harrison that there were other issues to do with getting permission for filming there.)

TEACHERS COMMENTS:

-Problem! The opening shots of our production were good, but the sound quality was awful, so we have had to scrap the whole thing, and do it somewhere quieter, it would be great to do it outside, but both Calamity and Forbidden Planet are on main roads, and this just wont be possible.

-Solution! We will be using our schools drama room (with good lighting/acoustics) to do the presenters introduction, with comic related material displayed, this will work very well. Mirella is organising this with the drama teacher.

-Problem! We show much too much on our opening, it's supposed to be a taster, but we explain too much, and we will not be able to fit everything on the script into our extract.

-Solution! We've edited the script, cut it down, and organised it better. So the plan is, it's only one scene, the presenter talking then the voice overs coming in with relevant clips, rather than what we originally hoped (which was the presenter appearing in front of the places we were going to have on the documentary, as well as the voice overs).

(Note: We already have all our clips, so what we could do is rearrange our storyboards maybe, just to keep everything the same, but come editing i dont think there would be much point to it.)

MUSIC:

-Me and zane have been discussing it, and we have come up with come music we would like to use in our product. Here is the e-mail, with a list of music we have compiled. He wanted to find music that we relevant to the topic,

' i trying to link music to purpose and the purpose of the documentary was to show that inequalitity to women in comics is problem maybe?'- Zane


MIGHT NOT BE USING+REASONS

1.Paper planes- m.i.a (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3gGQfyVyw )-not right for the mood, and kinda freaky.

2. in the end by linkin park



- will be awkward with the voice overs, and is too negative.

3.I'd come for you- Nikelback



-it's too sad.

WILL BE USING
4. Kryptonite- Three doors down



- Opening music. (already did the permission thingy with this one.)

5. when you were young- the killers



-good second option for opening or other part, relevant lyrics, good tune.

6. Foo Fighters - Times Like These



-After opening. Listen to it from 7 seconds too 15 seconds, i am thinking we can repeat this part for as long as we need to.

SOME TO CONSIDER
7. Let it rock- Kevin Rudolf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3gGQfyVyw )- good but but i think it will be an awkward mix, but we'll see, i want to try this one, we'll ask mirella and mohammed what they think.

8. Anime music: Yasushi Ishii - Logos naki World, Hellsing opening theme



-low key background music.

9.Creating our own music.

That's it!

(Final script will be uploaded later, more computer problems)

Teacher's comments+ some thoughts:

Well, miss said that what we have is good, but the order we have them in doesn't work visually,

--E.g. we have a few shots of someone drawing, so naturally it is assumed that next a person will be talking about drawing etc, but then the next few clips after that show something completely different.

My argument for this was that it would all be explained in the voice overs, but I've taken her judgment into account, so me and my group will be doing some re-organising of shots.



NOTE: Our group's idea's really do mesh well together upon viewing the clips. Zane's consumerism idea, (I'm thinking of the the shots of stalls with more masculine comics, followed right after by more feminine stalls, i like the contrast there.) and Mirella's on showing comic culture, so far it's mostly men on the comics side, and generally girls and boys one the manga side, but girls are associated with it a lot more. Unfortunately, Mohammed's is the odd one out here.

At this point, with our deadline so close, we'll take what we can get.
