Production log- 10.12.09

Today’s lesson consisted of some of the final touches to the layout of the film review page, i was studying a magazine closely as i made it but i wanted to keep a fair away from the design to challenge conventions mostly. I kept to the style and layout to make it seem more realistic, i am pleased with the outcome so far i still have some text to put in but the basic idea is finished.

I gave the colours a lot of thought realizing that the pink was a good option to go with, i kept the rest of it basic using mainly black and white to stay with the theme of the photograph. The pink has a connotation of love and passion, relating to the narrative. The black and white is also connected to the characters, the colours can be seen as connotations of male and female which is a good impression to create with the narrative

Working Title- “Condimental Love”

Through out planning with have had a few names for the title of the short animation, we haven’t been to sure on what fits. We knew from the start we didn’t want it to appear tacky, we wanted the title to be romantic and something that will make you smile. Creating the same effect as the film it’s self.
We had a few ideas, one being-
‘The Salt Shake’
The title has a close relation to the dancing that is featured in the film, we decided that this title was to tacky and ‘silly’ to be taken seriously.
After some consideration and research into certain terms and phrases we found the term-
‘Unconditional Love’.
We felt this suited the film and the narrative, a love between inanimate objects. It allows the audience to understand the concept of love being everywhere, not just what we see, that ‘what if..’ situation.
After looking and seeing the name, we had the idea of trying to relate it back to the style and the narrative more. We had the concept of mentioning the cutlery in the title but couldn’t get around the task of doing so.
This is when we had found the term ‘condiments’ and ‘comdimental’ we decided to try and work this into our Production title. We eventually came up with-
‘Condimental Love’
This term explains the relation to a ‘table top romance’ we feel it fits best and is a term that we shall strongly consider. We shall be conducting some consumer research soon to see what peoples opinions are on this title and also if it makes sense and is understandable to our audience. The audience is a variation of ages, it’s more a ‘community’ than age. We are looking to make the animation appeal to the ‘You tube Community’, a wide a varied audience.
