We really needed some sound techniques and so i have been trying to find a perfect song i think suit the film however i will use this when trying to re-edit the sound! I thought the tone and the lyrics suited the film well and here they are:
Also this video has given me an idea into some shots we could have added to our film if given more time in the future,,,,,,

Film Techniques, ideas
Through researching on the internet I have come up with the idea that our theme should have something a bit different about it and so I have been researching the French New Wave (La Nouvelle Vague) which was around in the late 1950s and 1960s. It was influenced by Italian Neorealism and classical Hollywood cinema.
The films were on low budget helped filmmakers get at the essential art form and find what was, to them, a much more comfortable and honest form of production.
Film Techniques consisted of long tracking shots improvised dialogue, rapid changes of scene, and shots that go beyond the common 180ยบ axis and principles of strong narrative. I took a look at Jean-Luc Godard New Wave film Breathless (1960)
I thought we could use some of the camera techniques as shown on this film. Also I had the idea that when we edit we can change it into black and white. It will give it some "quirky" edge as reflected the female character will be.

location, location, location!
well with our film, Ticket we have had a few difficulties in where we will be filming because of permissions etc. It would have been very difficult if we had filmed on a train/tram or bus since we have to ask for permission beforehand and could take a few weeks to get back to us. And so we have decided to film in a public park. We shall be filming on Wednesday fingers crossed!!

Narrative assignment...800inc.
For our assignment I have chosen to write about my dads company 8000inc.....
The Brand was started form scratch so it was all ideas then put into fact. The Brand is not just the clothes, the clothes are part of the Brand and are used to market the company as well as be products. So the company is in itself a project.

The Brand is not only clothes, but investment, sports projects - Athletics, AAAB (Amateur Athletics Association of Barbados) – Golf (Barbados Golf Association) – Football (AC Milan).
These projects keep the company in the public eye, provide media coverage and news, embedding the name 8000inc in the market and the public.

All different types of clothing is made however using the same logo, same brand.

Charis is the producer since she finds it easy to organise post production and get everything ready.
I'm the director, Alyssa is doing sound and production design, Sam is going to be doing the editing, Steph is on the camera and our new edition Lauren will be doing lighting and camera assistant.
Todays and yesterdays session have gone quite well, last night each one of us wrote down ideas and discussed them today. We have a lot of strong ideas and are quite certain as a group on what we want.
