SafeGuard Title Logo

SafeGuard Title Logo

This is the logo for our movie 'SafeGuard'. It was created and manipulated on Adobe Photoshop. I kept the logo simple, yet effective. I downloaded the font off a website called 'DaFont' so that it was unique and eye catching. I also picked this text type because it fits the theme of the movie and it is eye catching for it's target audience. I downloaded the images of the fighters off the same website and neither of them are copyright as they were free to download. I placed 3 different images on the logo with the main one standing out in the middle. These images link back to our movie and it's theme, which is boxing\fighting. 

 I also added a background image for the logo which can be used as a poster. However, I will not use this because I am not sure if it is copyright or not and also it isn't any of our characters which are going to be used in the movie. Instead, I am going to take a professional and good looking still image at the day of the shoot in the boxing area and replace it with this image so then it will be our image and it will suit our movie even more.


The Pitch presentation


Safeguard's hour


So our group just pitched and this is the slideshow






We made a few changes. We added our skilss audit and also we added a likely distributor but it was a very solid presentation that covered most points.

Here is the video of us presenting our pitch to our teacher and classmates

film intro planning extra
For our production we will require photographs of London, in particular the gritty urban side of it. these photographs will be scattered in between the credit sequence and give our piece personality.
For this we will attempt to mimic the theme of Don McCullins work of England, but put our modern teenage spin on it.
here are some photos we will be influenced by.

potential props already available for filming
 a knife to be used in the second flashback for a stabbing, a different knife may be more suitable however due to this models ergonomics which may make it unclear it is a knife.

a fighters robe to be used for the entrance of the main character into the boxing ring. this is not the best suited prop for the scene since it is a jiu jitsu robe and not a boxing one which we require, however it may be used if we cannot find a better one.

a blue fighters robe for the other fighter should it be required, or an alternative for the main character.

a pair of boxing shorts for the boxing fight to be used by one of the fighters.

gum shields for the fighters to be used in their entrance and the actual fight. these also allow our actors to actually hit each other with minimal risk of injury, yet adding realism to the fight sequence.

These are only props which are available to me from my household and are not the full list of props we will require. also this list does not account for the inventory available to other members of my group.
