PLANNING: CREATING PROPS

In class today we wanted to try and give the film opening some realism and get props that we can use during the filming process. Firstly we decided to gather up some articles on AI including an article from Max Tegmark which includes information about his book 'Life 3.0'. We are going to include these in places throughout our film opening.  We then designed an article of our own which we will also use in our production.We did this to create one of the office scenes of our production.

We also then came up with our own company logo, that i created, so that we add a brand into it as well.

For us it is important that we can present the progress of Artificial intelligence throughout our film and we are going to be doing this by presenting Max Tegmark' book 'Life 3.0' and how the robot has read it and understood the aspects of how AI could become rogue. 

 We then decided to take some shots of ourselves as the group of 'Robotica' workers. We wanted to show the presence of a confident and slightly cocky group of worker and therefore unaware that the robot can actually be a liability and come out of control. In this we used the stance of us workers to display this act of confidence and cockiness. 

 After we did this I then thought it would be a good idea to create a template for a 'checklist' which we could put on the plastic bag of the robot before we reveal him.

On this template I included the logo, that I created, in the bottom right corner and also a 'stamp', that I also created, using Photoshop. For this I created the outline of the stamp and got the image of the workers from Robotica (which is shown above in this post) and edited it so i just had the outline. I then put it into the outline of the stamp adding some text to make it look realistic as if it has been taken out of a lab. Not only did I create this to use on this template but also to use on any other files that we might need.
