Names

The production company will be called 'SteamTrain' because of the steampunk elements within the film and also it reflects the more industrial post-apocalyptic future we wish to portray in our opening.
'Us and Them' will be the title because of the main conflict between two separate forces against each other and it also adds a sense of enigma.
'Abandon Ship Distribution' will be the distribution company, as it reflects the urgency and suspense that will be in our film opening and also again has the connotation with industrialism and machinery.

Ideas feedback

Used a website called 'Omegle.com' (a site which allows you to talk to a random person on the internet, which is an advantage as it make the study completely biased as we have no previous connection to the person we were talking to) to pitch our idea for our film opening. Explained the main concept and asked if there was any improvements that could be done. The person asked said they were 16 so they fit into our target audience.

Discussion

We discussed that we need to interview people to determine who the most appropriate target audience would be and  what viewers would expect and want from our film opening based on the ideas we already have.

Set

On Wednesday 25th we will empty the set (a warehouse) and decorate it to fit the theme of the film. To portray the 'post-apocalyptic/futuristic' themes we will use old wires and dilapidated machinery scattered in seemingly random places, and try to create the effect that the warehouse is abandoned and derelict. We will then begin filming at the end of Wednesday.
