Rough cut

Making our ident





Making our Ident

 

Preliminary

 

 



 

Following our decision of "Black Cloud Media" as the title for our production company, we began by searching on YouTube for sequences of clouds to be the bulk of our ident as the image and visuals of the sequence. At first we came across this motion picture sequence that we believed would be effective in relation to our company name.

 



The dark style and layout of the clouds in this video background relates well to the name of our production company and therefore we believed that we would proceed with this as the background to our ident. However, after a few more searches, we came across another sequence which we believed after editing would be even more effective and impacting if used as our ident.



However, we believed that the light ratio in this motion picture would be better if the clouds appeared darker which would more strongly relate to the name of our ident.This is when we found the moving image in our used ident as a Giff which we downloaded into Photoshop and edited in with our production company name text. We decided that this was efficient and sensible as the clouds in the motion picture were black and therefore mirrored the title. Furthermore, there was a gap in between the clouds where the text in our ident could eventually rise to from the bottom so that our audience have the chance to view it clearly before our main film actually begins.

(Open with high angle shot of Trevor tied to the chair in the wasteland setting. This followed by a combination of shots from different angles assissted by cinematic booms. )

Cross fade to Alex and John (The Boss) in a dimly lit room and the two men proceed with the following conversation:

Boss: Give this to the boy tomorrow and let him take the hit
Alex: But Boss, this guy ain't a bad kid-
Boss: I don't care what he is or what he has done, you know what his brother did to me. Give him this package, let him take the fucking hit and call me when he has it
Alex: (reluctantly while standing up) Yes Boss
Boss: Oh and Alex, remember who the boss is ...

Cross fade in to a direct shot of Trevor strapped to the chair and then cross fade out to the cutty sark

(Suspenseful Music is played over the top of Alex walking towards Trevor while he stands by the river thames, the two men interact for a moment and then Alex hands Trevor the package. The shot then changes to Alex walking away when he stops and makes a phone call.)

Cross fade to another shot of Trevor strapped to the chair in the wasteland location. This time the camera is closer to Trevor than the previous shot.

(Cross fade back out to Trevor at his house watching the envelope package anxiously before picking it up and viewing its content. Faster music is now playing over the action while Trevor gets up and walks out his front door hesitantly. He begins to walk from his house onto the street through a series of different shots until the camera fades while there is heavy breathing and a fast heartbeat played over the black screen.)

Fade into a close up of Trevor's face while he is strapped to the chair, he is panicked and frantic and then a hand holding a gun to his head emerges from the right hand side of the screen. The screen turns black and there is a pause until a gun shot sound effect is heard ...

Our title then emerges and this concludes the opening to our thriller film.
