Final post: Signing off

Finally, we have finished our title sequence in time for the deadline. All members of the group have worked very hard this. The filming was jointly our favourite part of the process and we all have a passion for filming, and it was great to have the time to film our own shots. The editing process proved to be the most difficult and time consuming. There were many discussions between us on how we wanted the outcome of our film to look like and we can happily say that as a whole we are all pleased with the outcome.

Rearranging some of the shots to make the title sequence flow better

Feedback to improve

On the last day of editing we received this feedback from our teacher on how to improve to make our title sequence better. We as a group also agreed with this feedback as this was what we planned on fixing in the editing session.
Throughout the lesson we improved by doing all that was listed and fixed it more but adding in fade ins and outs to make it flow better.

Rough cut 2 - Written feedback



After watching our second rough cut we received written feedback from our teacher and these are the things we need to improve that she identified. It was very useful that our teacher gave us back this feedback as it allowed us to improve on our work, to make sure it was the best of quality. Also, because of this we learnt a lot of new skills like how to import sounds and effects from different softwares.

Filming on 11th January


On this day we did last minute filming so that we had extra shots and to tie our title sequence together. This was because after receiving feedback, it was decided it would be better if we had more shots. As a group we also noticed that we needed more shots to make the sequence longer but also to make it flow well. Therefore we went and filmed after doing a bit of editing and filmed shots on the bus to show the journey of the character and also more establishing shots so that the audience knew where it was set.

Evaluation of editing - 11th January

The aims of this editing session was to add in sound and start to add in the title credits. I think this session went well as we began to do so. We added in sounds such as background city noises such as cars going by and people talking. We also added the sounds of footsteps.

The next session we plan on add in the rest of the title credits and cut a few of the shots down as they are too long. We also need to add in the music.

Why did we update our storyboard?

After the feedback we received from the class after doing out pitch, we changed our storyboard around and updated it. This was because the audience felt a bit confused with the storyboard as there was a lot of things going on in what we originally planned to do for the title sequence. We were telling the whole story in the sequence when the main point is to entice the audience so that they will carry on watching the film.
Therefore we decided to change it and only have one flashback so that it's not too confusing and complicated and it sets the tone of the film. This led to a clear storyboard.
