Logline: Possible Change?
At the moment I am continplating on changing the Logline, and taking the line highlighted in yellow out. This is becouse I feel that having him go back to the army will be a weekness in the films story line. I am going to speak to my group next time I see them to see if it needs a change. Now that we have written the treatments I have found that some parts of are plannin process needs a little changing around.
A former UK soilder who's fallen on hard times starts coaching his sons football team as a way to get his life together. With post-traumatic stress the fight for normality hardens and supporting his son becomes hard. Resulting back to the army as a messenger. Raife meets a woman who may be able to change all this.

With Raife's show on the urge of collapes, he asks Nancy is he would like to host the morning show with Richard. She says yes. Her first day of work creates a buzz, he previous work as a presenter meant that she already had a following and this was great for the Raife. The show finally looked on the up. That evening Nancy took Raife out on a date to rekindle what they once had. Revisiting the same steak restaurant they went too on one of their first dates, Raife confessed that he never stopped loving her. Nancy told Raife that she was sorry for leaving him and also admitted that she realised she could never be with anyone but him. That evening they went for a walk around town, she took him to the theatre and told him that she loved him. She told him that the reason she came back was not only becouse she realised after everything he had done that she loved him, but becouse she was pregnant with his child.

Film Name: Choosing The Title
As a group we are going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each film title. We are then going to as a group select a title for the film that we think would best suit the film, the genre and the target audiance. We will let you know the film title as soon as we have had a discussion.
Film Name: Initial Ideas Analysis
Linking In London
Linking In London was one of the first ideas I came up with. The term linking is often used when a boy and a girl are talking a lot. London is the capital of London and is where our film is set. It is also a romantic city. Both of these words emphasis that the film is going to be a Romantic film. I think the title flows well.
First Sight
I came up with this name, from the saying 'Love at First Sight' This name is instantly traceable back to the original saying and so to the audiance the film title would be instantly recognisable. Each individual word in this title doesnt relate to love. I think this is an okay idea.
Saving Nancy
The ideas behind this title was to suggest that Nancy needs saving. For the audiance this makes them have to think about what the film is going to be about and what Nancy is going to need saving from. The title introduces the main character, however it doesnt really relate to the romantic genre.
Tears In The Rain
This ideas came from the film 'Singing In The Rain' I choose the word tears as it referes to the tough time that Raife and Nancy are going through. The word Rain is there to exagerate the term tears. The meaning behind this could be that there are floods of tears. This name doesnt really make you think of the Romantic genre, however it is quite an interesting, thought-provoking name.
Unplanned Love
This is an idea I came up with to do with the relationship between Nancy and Raife. The love story in this film wasnt planned. They where never suppose to meet. However fait brought them back. The title represents the Romantic genre. The title would make the audiance question why was it unplanned? Whats happend? and this is good as it creates an audiance response.
When Love Hurts Most
This film title relates straight back to the romantic film genre. There is a juxtaposition within the title. The words Love, and Hurts are two contrasting words. The title makes the audiance question what it is that makes it hurt. The word hurt relates to the loss of Raife and Nancy's partners. The world Love represents the new found love they find for each other.
Attachment
Attachment was the next idea I had for our title. The word attachment is romantic in it-self. It realates to the word affection. This title does represent the Romantic film genre. It is a short title, however sometimes the shorter the titles the easier they are remembered. This is a sweet title idea in my opinion.
Venture
Venture can mean to take undertake a risky journey or action. This can illustrate the ideas we have in our film and how it is hard for the two main characters to move on. This is especially evident in Nancy's jorney as she falls in love with her husbands bestfriend. I think this is a good title for our film how ever it doesnt really have anything to do with romance.
8 Weeks Later
Whilst this title has nothing to do with the romantic genre, I personally like this title. It sounds fun and makes the audiance want to know what is going to happen 8 weeks later. Again this creates an audiance responce and this is somthing every film director wants.
Enchantment
Enchantment was the next idea I came up with. This title sounds like something you would hear in a fairy tale. Fairy tales always have happy endings and so this is a sweet title to have. However it could give a way to the audiance that it is going to have a happy ending. This is a nice title howeve it may be a little cheesy.
A Love Story
Out of all my film title ideas this one demonstartes the best representation of the Romantic film genre. Straight away you know this is going to be a romantic film. The world love relates to romance, and story can refer to the journey that they are about to take. I like this title however I think it relates to well to the genre.
A Lovers Hate
This title creates a Juxtaposition. The word lovers and hate are two total contrast of each other. The title could also suggest something that they both find irritating instead of them both finiding eachother irritating. The title sounds fun and in a way a little comedic. We can tell that it is going to be a romantic film from the title howver I think most peoples guess would be that it would be a romantic comedy.
One Night
This title is shot and snappy. It makes the audiance want to know what happend on that night. I think this would relate to the romance genre. I feel that when reading this most people would relate it to a one-night stand and so this would identify the genre as being romance. This is a good title, however I think it is a little boring.
Dinner Date For Two
This title could signify the first date a couple has. This staright away identifies the genre as being romantic. The title again sounds a little comedic and I am worried that it will get confused as being a romanctic comedy. Whilst the title is four words I think it would be quiet attention grabbing to the audaiance as it is easy to say and so will be rememberd easily.
Loving Again
This title would make the audiance think that someone is trying to get back into a realatioship or has just got out of one and is going through a hard time. This relates to the storyline of our film really well. It is quiet a catchy title and makes the audaiance want to know if they can actaully love again. The film title identifies the film as being Romantic.
Keeping In Touch
This film title suggests that a couple are living far apart but still keep in touch. This is quiet a sweet title, and it doesnt give too much away about the film. In out film this could represent keeping intouch with the people who have died. This would have a strong meaning for our film however, i dont think this would be the best title for the film.
Fallen
This was the last film title that I cam up with. This title is one short word which would mean that it is easily rememberd. The word fallen would represent Will who diedd in battle. Again I dont think this is the best titel for our film as It doesnt relate to the romance genre. I want the name to identify romance so that the audiance know what to expect with the film.
New Production Logo
After having a group discussion we decided to go with this Logo for our production company.
New Production Logo: Ideas Analysis
This is the first logo design that I came up with. The Logo looks fun and creative and I feel that the company name fits the image well. The image is of a film reel and this relates well to our company name. If we had this appear before the film we could have it moving across the screen. The logo straight away identifies itself as having something to do with the film industry.
This is the second logo design that I came up with. I feel that this logo design is really creative and effective. Whist there isnt a lot going on in the image, I think it looks smart and would attract people to look at it. The letters of the world 'Reel' flow really well and make the words look fun. The black text on the white background make it stand out even more. In my opinion the logo doesnt really have alot to do with the film industry.
This is the third logo design that I came up with. I think that the font in this one is a little boring. However i think that the box shape this logo creates is really effective. The logo doesnt really have a lot of relevance to the film industry and is a little straight forward. However sometimes the most sympol logos are the most effective.
This is the fourth logo design that I created. I think this logo works really well as it is simple. The logo of the film reel at the top relates back to the film industry, making it instantly recognisable to the audiance. The gray text stands out well against the black background. This logo is really effective I think. The smart design makes the logo rememrable. I feel that the logo would attract the audiance to look at it and I feel that due to the easy design the audiance will instantly recognise it and know that we work within the film industry.
This is the last logo design that I came up with. The middle image makes the logo instantly recognisable to the film industry. The image relates back to the Production Company Name which is good. However I feel that the text is relativley childish and I dont think this would work too well with type of company we want to have.
New Production Logo: Ideas
These are some Logo Designs that I came up with for our new Production Company Name. I wanted to make the logos smart and wanted to make them relate to the film industry.

Production Company Name: Initial Ideas
When I was thinking of production company names for our short film, I wanted the production company name to relate to our group. So firstly I looked at each person's name that is in our group, which are Lewis Broughton, Isabella Britton and Lucy Dale. As I was looking at the names I just started to use the first letter of each name and just jumble them around to see if I could notice something. Secondly we thought of film vocabulary that we could interpret into a company name.

Logo Ideas: Mood-board
.jpg) |
| Issy Britton's Image Composition |
This is a mood-board of many different company Logos that I will uses as further inspiration for my logo design. These logos are famous worldwide and very eye catching to the audience. You can see that there are a wide variety of designs, which shows that all the products are targeted at different target audiences. We are still in the process of finalising the Production Company name. These designs will also help when designing the Film Title for the Opening scene.
Sound and Music: Film Soundtrack
For our film soundtrack we need to have a new original song. It cant be a song that is copyrighted due to legal reasons. We are going to make a brand new songs to put as our soundtrack. Luckily I know a singer/ songwriter and people who can play instruments so most of our work has been done. 'Stefan Mahendra' our initial idea for a singer, is a new up and coming singer who's style we think would fit in with the film. Below is his latest song.

Film Name: Inspiration
It has come to the time where we need to think of a name for our film. These are a few Romance film titles that I think are interesting. I am going to use these film names to help inspire me when I create my Film Name. In my opinion all these names are attention grabbing and intreaging.
- Love Actually
- Friends With Benifits
- Just Go With It
- No Strings Attached
- The Vow
- He's Just Not That Into You
- Crazy, Stupid, Love
- P.S. I Love You
- The Ugly Truth
- The Girl Next Door
- The Switch
- One Day
- The Proposal
- One For The Money
- As Good As It Gets
- Life As We Know It
- Now Is Good
- Never Let Me Go
- It's About Time
- Gone With The Wind
Film Advertisment: Empire Magazine
Next moths Empire Magazine issue is going to have our film on the front cover. This is a great success for our film as we will get a lot of publicity for this. Empire Magazine is a magazine for people who subscribe to it. Most of these people are film fans and industry professinals and so this will create a great buzz for our film. Advertising in this magazine means a great deal to our production company. We are a small comapny looking for recogognition and the fact that we have our film on the front coverof Empire is a huge step forward.
Limited Group Discussions
After analysing Lucy and Issy's blog I have noticed that as a group all our information isn't the same as each-other. I feel that the reason for this is because of the fact that as a group we haven't really discussed our ideas to each-other. I noticed this when I went to write my treatment. I found that all our story-lines where different from each other and that there where to many stories branching off our initial story idea. Each character had developed new objectives and mini objectives in the film which our group doesn't know about. Now that I have noticed this I am going arrange that we all sit down in a group and discuss the final idea for our story.
Target Audience: Further Research
Now that I know that my target audience is Woman aged 17 - 25 I am now able to research my target audience so that i can identify what they really want out of my film.
One way of researching my target audience was by going out and speaking to the people that fit into the description of my target audience. I asked everyone the same question. "What do you want in a Romantic film?"
Ella (18) said: "In my opinion the most powerful part of a Romantic film is the relationship between two people and how it rises and falls throughout the film."
Millie (21) said: "I disaster that brings them together."
Sophia (24) said: "The romantic loves scenes create the biggest emotional response in my opinion"
Samantha (19) said: "The emotional journey they both embrace."
Francesca (17) said: "The main thing I want in a romantic film is strong and compelling story-line that keeps me entertained throughout."
Millie (21) said: "I disaster that brings them together."
Sophia (24) said: "The romantic loves scenes create the biggest emotional response in my opinion"
Samantha (19) said: "The emotional journey they both embrace."
Francesca (17) said: "The main thing I want in a romantic film is strong and compelling story-line that keeps me entertained throughout."
Logline
After discussing with my group we have decided on a Logline for our film.
A former UK soilder who's fallen on hard times starts coaching his sons football team as a way to get his life together. With post-traumatic stress the fight for normality hardens and supporting his son becomes hard. Resulting back to the army as a messenger. Raife meets a woman who may be able to change all this.
Location Scouting: Joe Garrat's House
After looking around for houses to film in, as a group we have decided on a location for the house. We have decided to make Joe Garrat's house our location for Nancy's house. The house fits the description of Nancy's finical state. The house is large and elegant and represents Nancy as a smart, well kept woman. This is a good location as the house sits on a quiet road and so wont effect us as much when it comes to filming the outdoor scenes. The quiet road means there will be less road noise and the health and safety risk will me majority decreased. Another advantage of filming in this road is that it is a private road, hardly any cars go down it and so it will be unnecessary to get the road closed for filming. This saves production costs. With this bit of extra money we can put it towards another factor in the production process of the film. Due to the fact that we know the owner of the house we are able to use this location free of charge and as often as we need to. This is a great advantage just incase we need to re-shoot any scenes.
Pictures of the House's exterior and interior are coming soon...
