Third Draft

This is the third draft of our sequence. It still has no music yet, however Jack will be making the music for the sequence over this weekend.

Locations prezi - Charlie Lane

31&32. Costumes

In our title sequence we will not have any particular set costumes when planning. Our movie is based in a high school or college meaning that it there is no particular clothing needed for our title sequence.

Our characters will mostly just dress in jeans and t-shirts and normal stereotypical male clothing for college/school or just normal everyday life. Tim who will be the killer has to change his t-shirts during filming in the title sequence because of the shot when he gets my blood on him. He will change his t-shirt to indicate that he has cleaned up and covered his crime. He will wear a white t-shirt which is ruined by blood but will change into a black t-shirt after the killing scene. I will wear the same jeans and jumper throughout.

It is important that we wear the same clothes because we obviously have to make the title sequence seem real and believable. We will also film at different dates so making sure we wear exactly the same costumes is important and has to be remembered.

Here are Tim's before and after clothes..

How we have found filming and editing so far - Charlie

We have just finished our second rough draft of our editing process of our title sequence. So far i still think that the project has been tiring and quite time consuming but in many ways rewarding. We have been able to use so many different types of new technologys such as camera and tripods and dolly cams and final cut pro which has increased our IT skills throughout the project.

We have seen new locations and learnt new things in the world of media and different types of social networking.

However, it has been very challenging in many ways. We have had to devote a lot of time around the  filming and editing process so far. We've had to loose a few lunchtimes in order to be able to successfully film and complete other tasks with filming.

Overall, i have found the filming enjoyable so far, more enjoyable than the editing process but editing is more detailed and i think it more difficult because you have to concentrate more on the editing process. We hope to have completed the full title sequence in the forthcoming week/s and to be able to finish off all blog posting.

Rough Draft 2

Here is the second rough draft of the sequence. Our teacher has given us a few things to change.

-Fade to black a the end before the bell sounds
-Start the sequence with a close up/POV shot of Tim's character starting the drawing of the stick people
-Make the shot of Charlie's character a little shorter
-Make the shot of Charlie's character getting the cigarettes shorter
-Make the intro to the top 5 horror kills a match cut
-Automation on that same shot (make the audio louder as Tim walks further from the camera)

Rendering

Rendering the idents for the sequence is taking a while. We have been waiting for 20 minutes so far. It never takes as long as it says it will. Remember that, kids. It can be very frustrating when this happens because it slows down the pace of our work and editing process.
