My role in OUDF404 Studio brief 2

My role meant that i had to find the main actor for the part of the Milky bar kid. I managed to find Stuart who was willing to take part. I then asked him if he had any of the costume we needed for the role, He had a leather waist coat, a cowboy hat, a blonde wig and the type of boots we needed so I made sure that this was the costume he would be wearing.
I also helped to plan out what we would do on the day of filming along side Sacha. We planned;

Monday- Planning, Scripting,organise props,actors, timing, risk assessment, reserve equipment, location, photographs reading for storyboarding.
Tuesday- Storyboarding, opening and end credit sequences, make props
Wednesday- Set up the equipment and film all day, Finish end credit sequence. 
Thursday- Post production work
Friday- Post production work
Weekend- Finish off any blogging which hasn't been done.

Break down of Wednesday
9.00-9.30 collect equipment 
9.30-10.30 set up and test lighting, adjust camera settings, clear set and place props
10.30-12 filming in the Students' Union area 
12.30-1.30 filming in the Students' Union office
1.30-Onwards filming by the lift, on the stairs, inside the drawing room


The End credit sequence consisted of the milky bar wrappers with our names on them. I created these using photoshop. 

Milky bar wrapper
This is the milky i used in order to create the credits. I had to do a little research first to find the milky bar font. This is what i found;

This one wouldn' t work as it was to rounded.

This one wouldn't work as it was very similar to the first one

This one wouldn't work as it wasn't rounded enough. 

This was too bold. 

This was too straight. 
I then went onto looking at fonts on photoshop and found that the nestle sign was pain Helvetica, and i then found a very similar font to the milky bar sign which i only had to change a little. The font was Tekton pro, I had to add extra bits in order to thicken it out.
This is how i started:

I started off with the milky bar wrapper.

I covered the writing on the wrapper. 
I typed in the last name of the person in the right font. 

I thickened the writing. 

I added shading on the milk.

I covered the the shading in order to create an outline. 

I added the writing for the first name in the right font. 

I added an outline for the writing. 

I added a line at the top to make it look like the nestle logo. 

I thickened the line. 


I coloured in the line to make it as thick as the writing. 


I added shading for the final picture to make it more 3d. 
This took a lot of time and effort in order to do everyones name and to make them all look similar. I added a different credit for the additional cast as we didn't know all there names so i did this using the milky bar buttons package. 
This is the package.

I covered the writing. 

I added the writing. 

I thickened the writing. 

I added the outlines.
