conventions of titling

we have chosen the film four logo as our production company and uk film council because they are both supporting low budget films. these have both been added to the beginning of our film to show the support

the evaluation!

last lesson we started work on the evaluation, this lesson i have been adding more to the evaluation. after speaking to jude i have had some more ideas from other voice overs. the main issue we are facing is that we only have 2 mins to talk over. this will not be enough to say all that we need, therefore we are going to say the general gist of the film ( for example: genre and what is happening) before we start and then run through the shots as its going. at the end again we can talk after it has finished to make sure all we need to say is said.

Finished!

We haven't added a blog in a while as we have been busy finishing our filming and adding the final touches. Firstly we re-shot the various shots required including the cupboard shot as the initial shot turned out to become blurry which wasn't an effect we wished to have included in our footage. Further on from this we then added some beginning opening titles on 'live type' giving information on the production company, the director and the title of the film in which we incorporated a 'Shudder' effect where the titles would shudder to the sound of a heart beat which we also incorporated through soundtrack. We then created a soundtrack on 'Soundtrack' which we edited multiple times in order to fit the genre of the film as well as maintaining continuity throughout our piece. We also felt this would be an ideal and effective way to portray the mood of the film. An example of this is when the knock on the door is heard by 'Jack', we felt emphasis should be made on this point in order to highlight its importance.  

Finally with the use of final cut we added various effects including a fade and slow motion in order to create tension while Sam's character 'Jack' approaches the door. 

Our original storyboard included a chase sequence at the end however we as a group decided this could not be included in our footage as it would be too long and difficult to create as well as various health and safety barriers such as jumping over walls as well as Sam becoming injured.
