Editing of Rough Cut, 17/01/17

During the editing of our rough cut two we have been primarily focusing on arranging the lightning of our title sequence as there seems to be some imbalance's between shots due to filming in different times of day, we were determined to sort this issue out through our colour grading tutorial which helped us in achieving perfect lighting between shots. Some of the problems we encountered during the ending shots were dim lighting, so we decided as a group to hight'n the lighting and saturation.

When my group began editing on our sound we knew it was key to focusing on getting everything right from the opening title credits to the final scene. We aimed to achieve this through adding a score to make our title sequence recognizable and unique. I the sound coordinator found a piece of music for us to use to add in throughout in order to keep the tensions and suspense high as our genre has to do with thriller. I chose the score from the movie 'Dawn of The Dead' as it perfectly suited the flow of our intro.
Furthermore I decided we should add in a few screeching noises when the title comes up and the dead bodies are shown to add to the suspense.

As we progressed through the editing process of our rough cut we realized that the fonts of our title sequence when introducing the cast didn't match and were all different sizes so we used a website that specializes in unique fonts called, DaFont.com where chose a specific font that suited the theme and tone of our title sequence.

Blog AUDIT

Task 3; Setting Targets

Task 2; Analyzing Strengths and Weaknesses in your Blog

The strengths within my blog posts are that they were well presented and organised when it comes to the clear headings on each post, formation of paragraphs and the style in which the pictures were imputed so that the reader can have a clear understanding of what they are reading and what specific sentences match with a certain picture, clearly displayed on most of my posts.

Whereas with the weaknesses on my posts is the lack of small information, such as not detailing exactly where my group are filming by not giving a location name but only showing a picture of the location which isn't clear enough for the reader to understand and can hugely effect that specific post when it comes to the mark scheme, so that is a weakness that I have chosen to correct.

Furthermore when it comes to threats it would mostly come from not gaining certain information in class as I broke my foot which kept me out of college for quite a long time but I was still responsible enough to keep up with my blog posts and have a positive mind frame. When it comes to opportunities I enjoy using new media devices such Prezi or Emaze over PowerPoint as they are simple and easy to use and are simply new and unique to me compared to older presentation formats.

Response feedback to Teacher and Peers

We were told to add in more media and to talk about our production schedule in which we wholeheartedly agree. We edited the powerpoint on prezi and added in the production schedule. Furthermore, we were confused on the target audience. We took our teachers advice and changed our target audience to 18-25. as it is more suited for our film (As the main characters are teenagers). We made all the changes necessary as well, such as changing the blog posts. We also didn't have a storyboard, we created an online story board and drew a storyboard as well. However, they liked the overall concept and that it was very detailed.

PLANNING-Feedback from sheet

Our peers have given us feedback from our pitch, and have told us that the presentation was well prepared and detailed. However, we did not give a production schedule and we could have included more media.

Pitch for our film Drained

Pitch - Costume and Makeup (Sama Ansari Pour)

What genre of film is it? - Niamh

What genre have you chosen and why?
We have chosen to film a thriller. The reason we chose this genre is because we thought that it would  give us more options to explore sound and mes on scene. We also thought that the building up of suspense would be interesting to film. Thrillers promote excitement and a high level of anticipation, which we would like to create.

What title sequence in the same genre have inspired you and why?
The dark knight rises- The title sequence establishes an eery and mysterious atmosphere. The sound effects used help build up the atmosphere, creating anticipation for the viewers. The colours in the opening sequence only consists of black, grey and dark colours, foreshadowing the intended atmosphere.
Seven- The title sequence doesn't reveal any of the characters within the film. The soundtrack highly impacts the atmosphere created. The sound effects consist of an spooky continuous sound, with occasional screeches. As the sequence continues the music gets louder and the tension builds. The titles are black on a white back round, which emphasis the text. The plot is not revealed in the opening sequence, leaving the audience wanting to find out more.
