Font Analysis

 
 

We have decided to research some font analysis to figure out which kind of font we would like to  use for our font title.

 
 
 
 
 



We chose kidulthood because it  kind of matches with our film because its an urban film. the picture at the top is of the starting of the opening titles. Me and my partner has decided to use a opening like this for our movie, this is because its simple. we will need to learn how to make the fonts to be like that, so we will need to ask our teacher to help us out.



This is another picture that shows one of the other productions that has helped them to make the film but I don't actually know why its on the film, but I will try and do some research to help me with our film when making our own film font.

We have a logo designed already, we want our font to be nice and simple, and it will have 'A Oumie & Jordan Films, because its by us two and also because its nice and simple which links with a drama set.

As you can see the font that the film production has chosen to be for opening of kidulthood. I think that  the text describes a lot, especially on what the film is about, that's why our film font will be similar to this font but the size of the font will be different, this is because I believe that my film is more of girly drama film if that makes sense.  
 

This is the company that we will use in our film and my teacher said that we will have to contact someone that works with Sony, and we will use this in the opening of our film.

My Partner Jordan used Universal for her opening for her film but now because we are working together, we have decided on what we will use for our opening film.


 
 
 
 This is just a suggestion of the font that we may use for our font title. The style Adobe Gothic Std B
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This font is Elephant

Sound Design

SOUND DESIGN:





We will be using 36 seconds of this YouTube clip to add on to one of the scene as background music.
This will be used in a scene where the main character will be talking with her friend. (They will be have an emotional convocation which would need sad music in the background.






We will be using 29 seconds of this song for the ending of the scene where the main character is leaving her friend. The reason why we are using this song in our film, is because for those who know the song will know so,e of the lyrics and the word links to our film. Of example it say ( in the song) "I'm coming home". We choose this song because at the end of our film Melinda (main character) leaves to go to her dad's and her dad's home is her home. The song is telling the audience that she is going home.

Foley

FOLEY:



Match live sound effects with the action of the picture. Which is what we're going to be doing, in one of the scene, one of the actors will be slapping the other, instead of the actors slapping each other we will us object to make the sound of the action.

This is an example of a Foley it's when you make your own sound using the objects you have, and to be able to get the right sound, you can add many layersFoley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video. A Foley artist is the person who creates this sound art. Foley artists use creativity to make viewers believe that the sound effects are actually real.This Foley is created by the sound artist mimicking the actual sound source in a recording studio. for example Two actors are walking down a marble staircase in a film, having a discussion while fishing in their pockets for their car keys.

Own Foley

"In today's lesson, we looked at the role of the Foley artist and were able to understand their process in the filmmaking process.  Our key question from the lesson was 'How important is Foley to filmmakers?'

From my research, I have discovered the following..." 



The above is my first attempt at adding Foley to a piece of video. I used a combination of organic sounds and a sound track.

WWW: we came up with many ideas to make the sounds, made many layer to make the video look realistic.

     EBI: If the sound was in time with the action. if we have come up with more sound tracks.

WHY HAVE I DONE THIS?

 I have done this test to practice for our real one. I wanted ours to sound realistic so that the audience will assume it is real, and would have doubt about the foley sound.
