Mood Board

This is my mood board i created to express the theme of ny film and some of the props that will be used throughout the film.
The houses in the top right shows that it will be set in a house.
The neighborhood in the bottom left also represents setting.
The carrots, highlighters, bin bag, knife and newspaper represent the props that will be used.






Footage of filming

 
This is a short clip of evidence of me directing my brother Jack, 'Malcolm' on what he needs to be doing in the shot.

Production Company

My production comapny name is district productions. we chose this name because the word district links to neighbourhood and our film opening is set in a neighbourhood.
This screenshot is when i was making the logo using powerpoint. I got the image from clip art and changed the colours to make it my own.
