One difficulty we was faced with was the dog (coco) by his lack of attention he was giving us. It took several minutes for him to get used to our actors and to control his constant barking and exitment when we placed a tripod in front of him. He was extremely disturbed as he was afraid of its shape. However it did take some time for him to get used to it and fortunatley his obedience improved due to its owner help and overall did achieve to get some of the actions roles we wanted. Here are some 'behind the scenes' of coco training for our piece:

We used the approach of viral marketing, via Twitter. Twitter is a popular global social networking service that enables users read and write short tweets. As conglomerates use these approach of advertisement, we crated a Twitter page to advertise our film 'Coercion'.
I have been hunting for a dog suitable for our opening sequence , in my neighborhood there are many dog owners for whom I am familiar with and asked to use their dogs for our opening sequence and have been contemplating the suitable dog type to connote genre. All owners kindly agreed for their dog to be used and pictured. Here are some of the dogs to choose from... As we chose to use coco for our opening sequence we faced with a dilemma of the available dates for when the dog owner is free for us to use her dog , therefore there was some struggles to get the right date to use coco , however we managed to get a date which suited all of us as some of us were busy.
In our opening sequence we are including a guarding dog of which belongs to the character (Bethany) as she is walking along the pavement she will have her companion (dog) along side with her. A big dog prevents someone from entering your property, and as they they look intimidating and scary and have potential to do damage to someone. They bark if they sense any unusual events occurring so the owner can react and hoping for the intruder to leave. By having a big guarding dog would connote that Bethany is not alone and will be in trouble and so the audience would detect that she will be attacked later on in the film. Using a big dog symbolizes protection and hunting as dogs has a more effective senses than humans, so I suggested to include a dog which will be in use for our film opening. they look intimidating and scary and have potential to do damage to someone This is what big guarding dogs are associated with... This is an example of a the dog in Paranormal Activity sense the supernatural spirit inside the house and its reactions to it. From this we want to use the similar approach in our opening scene for a dog detecting something unusual and reacting by barking as this connotes there is something wrong.
We all came together to think of names that could relate to our horror-thriller film. Our theme was jealousy so we decided to look up synonyms to make our film title more eye-catching and to attract the audience:
We then started to think of titles that were foreign to make it sound more ominous.
We asked a few students if any of the names sounded interesting. Their responses were helpful as they didn't like the second half of the titles that were in different languages and they felt that the titles should have a meaning with our opening sequence. Together as a group we had a brain storm meeting on deciding the name of our production. We recorded our ideas and finally decided the name on 'Nail Biting productions' . We chose this name as it appears gripping, when suggesting the possible names we all thought about the genre suited for our target audience as well as the typical reactions to horror - thrillers.We contemplated with: Teeth churning, edge of seat, shaking, screaming etc overall we thought nail biting loomed impressive. We looked at some images which given inspiration for our logo. The final logo look![]() This is the outcome of Nail biting productions logo design, which will be embedded in our intro for out final opening sequence. Our production introduction videoFor our logo to appear effective, I have used adobe after effects to create a short 10 seconds intro for our institution to appear. Using music maker sound effects is embedded with in the introduction. With 'New Line cinema' as a famous film production company where it produces a lot of horror films, we decided that this film institution would be a good example for them to produce our film.
