Re Shoot (Dream Scene)

We decided to have a dream scene to cut into the middle of when the detective is sleeping. This is a timeline of the final edit of how me edited in this dreamlike cut. During this shoot Georgina had control of the camera whilst i controlled the lighting to created the shadowy figure, we both shared the job of directing by both having imaginative ideas and mixing the best of them into our shoot.

opening Title credits Sequence Progress

This is the raw footage of what we shot without any effects over the top of them.

Then after i had a tweak with final cut effects after watching a tutorial on youtube and this is what the title credits looked like.

I added a gentle black and white using the color corrector  three way.

These are the effects i used over my opening credit titles

Shooting Cancelled

During the Christmas holidays we had agreed to shoot our opening sequence on the 21/12/11 and the 31/12/11 but sadly i was not available on either dates due to work as well as georgina that had work on these dates. It wasn't down to bad planning as the shifts were both given to us last minute and we couldn't decline as the Christmas period is the most busy in retail. We tried to change the dates to shoot but both of us were just overrun with different problems so we came to a decision that we would shoot after the christmas period.

We were aware that as we missed our chance in the holidays we also missed our slot to use the equipment but we are going to come to an agreement with sir over getting us another slot.

If we were paying for renting the equipment then we worked out how much it would cost

Camera- £300
Lighting- £150
Tripod- £15

In total that comes to £465 and thats a lot of money out of a Film Producers Budget, but thats a mistake we wont make again.

Infancide Target Audience

Our film is targeted at both genders as it will have not only action and violence but also an emotional plot that the main detective has to overcome. Our films targeted at Men and women aged from 18 and over. if it was leaning over to eaither sex it would be male as thriller films just have every aspect that a man looks for in a film such as action, tension and psychological plots.

Problems we came up against whilst filming parity

When filming our parity we came up against 3 problems.

1- the first problem we came up against was how busy the goals mens toilets were, this was a problem as georgina had to keep leaving the toilets everytime a man came by. Due to this we had to take quite a few breaks from filming so the overall filming time was longer

2- The second Problem we had was the tripod and how it cannot pan around the room you can only do still shots with it and in the parity we were remaking this was no good, we had to film the whole sequemce handheld.

3- Our third problem was when filming we held the camera portrait angle for some shots, but for the most of them we held it landscape. When we got back to edit our work some of the shots were rotated on their side due to how we had held the camera and this was a problem because we didnt know how to rotate them back, we watched a few tutorials on youtube and then understand how to do it.

Foley - Practicing sound effects

Using our voices we have create unique and different sounds for each ballon that popped. To see what different effects this would create.
