The Fantastagirls Logo
The logo for 'The Fantastagirls' as shown below, also mirrors the girls themselves. The stars giving connotations of girls, but also, creating a super hero type feel to it too.
Budgeting, pitch idea
The Budget for our film is £35,000,000 and we have estimated a profit of £80,000,000. We have researched in a film similar to ours 'Sky High' and we have estimated the budget and profit around this film.
Because the film is targeted for a younger audience we can produce merchandise out of it which can also be a benefit in the profit.
Underlying messages within the film:
- friendship, the disruption of loneliness; the impact family has; and jealousy.
Our primary target audience is for the film is for girls up to the ages of 13. We also think that the film can be targeted at family audiences too.
The release date of our film is going to be in August 2013, this is because it will be in the summer holidays and it will be more suitable for children to see it.
The Director of the film is Mike Mitchell because he has previously made films that are similar to ours. For example: Sky High (super heroes), Shrek (younger audience)

Type of typographys
The two types of typography are: Serif and San Serif
Serifs are the small lines tailing from the edges of letters and symbols
San Serif or simply sans typeface is one that does not have the small projecting features called "serifs" at the end of strokes.

Today we filmed furthermore shots. Today we found out that the deadline was arriving sooner than we imagined so we had to come up with a quick way of getting more shots done. We knew our original plan that we put on our story boards was not going to be the same as what we was going to film but we kept it similar by slightly changing our location from the story boards as we found some shots or choices off scenery were not right to film in. When we looked into filming in a park, we needed to be filming an over the shoulder sot of four people holing newspapers of the fantastagirls; when it came to realistic thinking all park benches was on grass so the footage would be jumpy if we used the dolly to pan it along. We changed our minds and asked around for four smartly dressed sixth formers to participate in our filming, we explained to them if they did not feel comfortable when we as filming they had the right to withdraw (the ethical issues). We experimented both using the dolly, tripod and camera to pan across left to right then right to left. We found that it was much clearer to see the newspapers it we did it reverse order (right to left). We also had trouble filming with one of our shots that was suppose to have a person walking down the street with a phone to show the mobile app which revealed more details for the fantastagirls, but the over the shoulder shot did not show the app well. We had trouble filming this shot as we needed to have the camera literally millimetres away from the actor so we could see what was appearing on the screen but we had trouble with getting the dolly caught on the actors foot. So instead we have changed it to a person in a office, however it is still an over the shoulder shot so we kept some the same.

We decided as a group to get one of the shots in our title sequence done today as we could not film anything else as we did not have the resources we needed to film. So we decided to go out in the morning and film by Bexelyheath train station. We had some trouble as people kept getting in the shots and we had to make the newspaper look realistic. It took us about an hour and a half to film, but we managed to find a free newspaper stand where it was legal to film, which we then put our own into.
The shots came out very successful, however our original plan was to use a better quality camera to shoot our footage with so that way it would look more realistic but we unfortunately did not have a camera that filmed so we had to use a flip camera. We was unprepared for our shooting as we did not organize it until we arrived in school. This was our first time filming and we left it until the last minute to organize our first shooting which resulted us to use a flip camera. Although we was unprepared we pulled through as a team and filmed some good shots to add into our title sequence.
Role within the group
There was four parts to decide who was who
- cinematography
- directing
- design and props
- location and makeup
With all agreed decision making, we put forward our reasons why we would like to be the part we nominated ourselves for. After the team decision making i was assigned the role i wanted to be as when we shot before in our previous year my cinematography skills helped me acheive a high grade; i was given the role the team thought i would be good at so i therefore was assigned the cinematography task. So far we have shot three different scenarios that are in our title sequence.
Holly was assigned to do design and props as she was constantly putting forward her ideas to do with costumes for each characters before we started thinking about roles within the group. From this Holly now had to design and prop. So far she has created props for the title sequence and the cast list is pending. So far we have made a sequel of when and where we are filming. Props: Camera Tripod Newspapers Dolly Magazine Ipad.
Hayley was assigned to be the directing manager of the group. The reason for this is because she is the one to get things done and dusted first within the group. Hayley nominated herself to be directing manager, we gave her the role to be organised and last final decision making say.
Megan was assigned location and makeup design as she believed she would be best to do the location and she is more prepared within the group to get organised where to meet and times. The makeup was just a new skills we thought she might be good at so we let her have the role into making our title sequence successful.
