Costumes
When designing and planning the costumes for the film, I relied heavily on mise-on-scene. For example, Superglue wears mostly white; this is due to the connection of the colour of glue, but also it relates to the idea of white symbolising perfection and purity, suitable for the hero of the piece.
Superglue, aswell as wearing white, also wears red items of clothing; this was inspired by the costume design of Superman, who is depicted wearing a red cape, pants and red 'S' symbol. I also decided on the colour red because it represents action, ambition and determination, all the required aspects of a hero.

15/5/15 - Filming
Today I continued filming more scenes for my film. For filming I used a canon camera, tripod and shotgun microphone. I originally used a clip-on microphone, but this create to many issues (e.g. the trailing wire which was a safety hazard). Below is a photo taken of me filing one of the scenes, shooting a low angle shot.
For filming, I was assisted by two actors. I originally planned to be filing three actors, but one of the actors cancelled short notice. Filming continued, but I did not work on any scenes involving that actor's character. I have decided that I shall work on these scenes at a later date, with a different and more reliable actor to take their place.
Once I had completed filming for that day, I imported the footage and started to edit it on Premiere, as evidenced below.

BBFC Rating
Below are the possible age restrictions/ratings a film may recieve according to the British Board of Film Classification.
From the information provided I believe that my short film, "Superglue!", that it would be classed as PG (Parental Guidance) Rating.
I believe this is although it is suitable for most audiences, the film does contain innuendos and double entendres which have sexual connatations which would not be suitable to present for a much younger audience. However, BBFC states that if the film has sexual content which is unlikely to be understood by a younger audience then it can still be certified as a PG film.
There is implied violence mentioned, but this is never shown, although their are moments of slapstick.

1/5/15 - Creating Properties/Props
In today's setion I created elements for costumes for the short film. They are pictured below. They include four grey semi-circles and a red letter 'G' shape. These will be sewn to the actors' costumes.
I have also created more props in the shape of scissors. This was achieved with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and cutting out the image from printed paper.
19/5/15 - Below is the completed version of the scissors prop, created by printing the image I created and them cut it out. After I cut it out I placed the paper on some card to make it more sturdy and solid and placed a safety pin in both pieces so it could move and operate like a real pair of scissors.
