Meetings Week 8 ;)

Today we went through our footage and altered the brightness and contrast in some of the shots. In some of the shots we craeted a smoky scence due to the fact that there is a candle in the scene and because it is in our very last shot. We also started using 'LiveType' to create more creative and original tiltles and credits.

Meeting (; Week 7

During this week we have continued our editing process, adding features such as title sequences.  Our teacher watched our opening sequence again and suggested what places we could add some titles to cover up jumps within the filming. She was impressed with our progress, however she wants us to go through the editing again to perfect slight jumps within the footage. Moreover, our teacher suggested to be more creative on title design and to make it look more effective.

Meeting (; Week 6

During this week, we have continued to edit the film opening and  have now completed the complete rough edit. We then consulted the teacher to gain approval. We got many opinions from peers and other media teachers who gave us guidance on how to improve our editing and mentioned that we needed to brighten up some of our shots.

Meeting (; Week 5

Today is the first day back after our half term break. This week we will be re-shooting some of our missing shots. We have also got together as a group and watched some more opening sequences for more inspiration and ideas. We have now completed the rough edit of the first half of our opening sequence.
This week we have also had to be ruthless with some of our editing, cutting out a huge chunk of our film. This is simply because the opening sequence would have gone way over the two minuite time limit. 

Meeting (; Week 4

This week we have started our editing process. At the moment we are completing the rough edit for the final and complete edit.
Whilst doing this we have discovered that some shots are missing and one scene will have to be re-shot. In addtion, we have had to leave out many shots from within different scenes as the overall footage was too long. Therefore we have decideed to meet again at the film location and get the correct shots for more editing next week.

Meeting (; Week 3

During this weekend, we decided on the final location where our opening sequence will be shot. We decided that it would be filmed at a house giving the impression that it is a believable setting and would relate to many viewers.
              We also decided that the film idea based around our opening sequence will be called "Life after Death". Everyone in the group agreed that this was an appropriate title, we also consulted our teacher about the name and she agreed that it was a good idea that was suitable for the story.

Meeting :) Week 2

This week was all about agreeing on the final storyboard.

Meeting (; Week 1

This week was our first meeting in which we were discussing our location, equipment and character. We had a long discussion to whether we were going to shoot the sequence outdoors or indoors. After a long debate within the group we have decided that we were going to do a combination of both outdoor and indoor shots. The reason for this decision is because we as a group believe we can make the opening sequence more effective in this way and portray the main theme as a thriller/horror. By doing outdoor shooting at night time, we are able to use our theme more effectively for the opening sequence.
