Weekly Update - Safia Shafi
This week we have finished editing our first draft and we hope to upload it very soon. Editing was a challenging and interesting process; we think that our product has been greatly improved by it.
Logo/ Justification - Olutobi Odeleye
As I am an experienced and a confident user of Photoshop CS5, I used this advantage in making our company Logo. The Letters in the logo “TLS” is made up of the first letter of our names. I used various blending options on Photoshop to bring out the crooked look of the logo, which justifies the thriller genre in which we are exhibiting. Likewise the letters are joined, to add to the "creepyness" of our clip.The grey, black and red colour used for the logo represents emotions the protagonists and the antagonists portray in the film, and likewise the code and conventions of a thriller film.
Blue Screen Technology - Olutobi Odeleye
Blue Screen Technology
In order to make the graphical context of our opening more of higher standards, we decided to add the blue screen technology. This is used primarily in the making of movies, this technology allows actors to perform in front of a blue background screen, upon which background images are superimposed later by computer. Blue screen is a technique that is referred to as colour keying, colour -separation overlay.
I also looked into films that used blue screen, I found that 300 (2006, Zack Snyder) used blue screen in particular.

From the acclaimed graphic novel artist Frank Miller, came the story of a heroic Spartan King who led his soldiers into an epic battle against the Persians. A few years later, this graphic novel has been made into a successful film filled with action-packed scenes benefited by the art department of both the 3D and visual effects. The film as a whole has been built with computer-based effects like visual effects and 3D, but also used actual props to make this film more believable to the audiences. Because the movie was based on a story of an ancient Greek legend, this was the best opportunity for the story to seem more realistic through a motion picture, and visually impacted with the technology of the film art department. Throughout some parts of the film, the environment shots are mainly an actual miniature sculpture that has been shot from a primary angle in a blue screen, and then later adding in the background along with the characters in the scene to make it look like an actual setting. From everything to all the battle scenes to a normal setting scene, the actors were shot in a blue-screen room along with props and limited built-environments on the set.
This as added to our inspirations and we would use this technology, by creating an artificial background
In additional, we are also checking YouTube for tutorials on how to do the settings required, likewise with the help of our teacher.Weekly Update - Laura collins
