Filming Evaluation
Now that we have finished our opening sequence we need to film our eveluation of it. Each member of the group wrote down their own notes on each of the questions. We sat together and had a group discussion on who would say which parts about each question. After this we took a camera and tripod and filmed our evaluation. We then uploaded it all onto imovie and then editied out the bits that we didnt need. We foudn that overall we were quite happy with the outcome of our opening sequence.
Final editing
This lesson is the final lesson that we could have to edit. we made sure that all the clips were in the correct position and played correctly. We took out any unneseacary clips that we had as they made the film much more drawn out as this opening needs to create tension. we went through all the feedback sheets from the showcase to make sure that we had taken everything that we said to us on board. We made sure the sound went with the clips and that overall the opening sequence had the correct mood and atmosphere. We are relieved that we have finally finished our opening sequence.
Sound editing
After we had finished editing all the clips we had, we were told that we would need to add our sound. After watching our sequence in the showcase we realised that we wanted to put in a sound of a heartbeat before the girl is run over and also we needed to find a good sound of a can running over a girl. Using a youtube converter we found appropriate sounds for both of these and added them to the sequence in the correct place. The main thing that we thought would be a good idea to have was to have the girl who gets run over listening to a happy song on her ipod this would then make her being run over much more unexpected. Sophie found an appropriate melody and added it to our final sequence. After the girl gets run over, there is a camera shot where the camera is looking down on the girl. We wanted there to be silent and soft music hear or no music at all as this is the shocking scene where it is revealled that the girl has been hit down by the car. We finished the sounds on our final sequence and made sure that all the music we had added was in the correct position to go with the clips.
Production company
Our group sat down and disscussed what name and logo we should give our production company.
We discussed all four choices of name for our production comany and finally settledon Snapshot productions. Luke then designed the logo that would appear at the start of our opening sequence.
Individual response to whole idea
I think our original idea is good and will help us in improving our camera skills. We will all have some input into making the film which is good. Our Storyboards are good but could do with some improvement with more detail. Doing this will help us keep to a more structured plan. I am happy with our idea and feel that it will be good opening that will hopefully make people want to see the rest of the film if they could.
