to solve this issue we have decided to create our own news report using videos of war and the green screen to place person over the video.

creating news report
We couldn't find a news report that we liked on youtube or on the BBC news website, the reports that we found were too long and did not show a reporter in the scene which is what we wanted.

songs and music
We looked for music on Audionetwork because it is free on school server also it is all un copywrited music we found some music that interested us by an artist called terry divine king and we have chosen one of his songs to use for our title sequence as we feel it fits the mood of our film.

looking for news report
we are looking for news reports on youtube which we plan to use in our title sequence for a short scene. its hard to find one that we want because we want a typical news report were there is a reporter and the action is going on behind them.

This is the selection of text we have found that we liked we have shown them to our audience and the majority prefer the top font, so that is what we plan to use for our main title font.

editing software
final cut pro
final cut pro is a video editing software that is only for apple products such as macs it enables us to create and edit videos and then export them. the software has a variety of tools and effects that are helpful when editing and gives a good quality finish.
we use final cut pro because it is on the macs which are widely available in school and I find them much easier to use.
The only issue I have is when others are logged onto macs the program becomes slow and often freezes however during editing our title sequence we had problems with effects in which they would not work or render.

second pitch
Pitch2 from MichaelEllis13
This is mine and Michaels seconds pitch to the class we changed certain areas that were highlighted by the class as things that didn't work or needed improving.
We specified who our target audience was instead of just having an age range,
we also included a similar title sequence that shows aspects of what we want our title sequence to look like. accompanied to this was a short animation i created to show the scenes and some camera movement we wanted in our title sequence as well.

first pitch
This is the first pitch, we talk about the actors we want to use and who we want to direct the film. we propose a £78 million budget for the film however we need to explain why we need a budget of that size. we discuss the narrative and the plot of our story however the narrative needs an ending.
Our story based on Todorov's narrative theory
Equilibrium: In the beginning there is couple who are engaged and planning their wedding.
Disruption: The man is called to duty for another tour at war so he has to leave fiancee.
Disruption 2: The man goes missing while at war.
Recognition of the disruption: The army call the woman to tell her the man is missing in action and is unlikely to be alive.
Attempt to repair damage: The man is actually alive and tries to make it back to the woman however the woman is being persuaded to move on.
New equilibrium: The man makes it back to find his fiancee has moved on, he decides that it is best she doesn't know he is still live.
Disruption: The man is called to duty for another tour at war so he has to leave fiancee.

Saul bass title sequence designer
Saul bass from leannacatherina
We looked at the graphic designer Saul bass who had created title sequences for films.
Saul bass studied design and the art students league in manhattan, he took up apprenticeships with firms in design and also done freelance work. His work was generally posters which used simple shapes that had symbolic meaning this is usually one image that stands out.
After creating a poster for a film director named Otto Preminger, he was invited to make the title sequence for the film. This was Saul bass's big break and this lead him to create title sequences for many other films such as 'Goodfellas', 'Cape fear', 'psycho' by Alfred Hitchcock and more.

First pitch feedback
Feedback from the class
Our feedback is generally positive, people liked the title 'heart of war' however we have discovered a film with this title to we will consider other names. The choice of actors was good people thought they would suit the roles we had chosen for them the budget was also well approved by most.
From the feedback it was suggested we state who the primary target audience and any secondary audiences. The timing of release has to be changed as the next star wars film will be released around the same time making our film less successful at box office. We also need to think more about the ending of the film as that was not made clear in the pitch.
