Personal Feedback (Kieron Bartley)

I have watched the edited version of my groups film and i am very happy with the progress Matthew and Heather have made with the editing.The music floes nicely with the opening sequence and creates an emotive feel. The letter placed on the bed really adds a connection with the main character. The reversed death scene worked really well. Really proud of the result.

Editing

I took some footage of Matt to show what happens when we edit.

Soundtrack

whilst Heather and Matthew started the editing process of our film, I went down to the music studio to begin creating the sound track to our teen title. Using logic pro 9 I created a short track that we intended to use within our film. Matthew suggested that I use the soundtrack to the trailer for Dead Island as a template for the creation of our track. It was quite difficult and the chord progressions were hard to learn but i fought through it to create a short sequence. After feedback from peers we decided to use the actually trailer instead of my rendered version as it was more emotive and set the scene and sympathy for the protagonist better than my version.

Editing (Problems with Motion)

Motion Problems:

Whilst creating our opening credits for our youth drama we encountered a few problems with the motions. 

BASICALLY:

We used the template that fades in and out as the motion plays over a moving image. The text ended up being too small so was very hard to see. Also, when the protagonist and antagonist's were running the text was not visible at all.

SO:

We went back onto motions (seven times actually). We changed the font colour to black to make it more visible, enlarged it so it was clear and changed where we put it on our title sequence so that it was clear even over the moving images.

Half Term Filming.

THE OUTCOME.

Over the Half term we filmed throughout two days to better our shots and include more angles. We got together our trustworthy group of actors and crew and shot in Coppett woods, this time during the day as we took into consideration our disastrous affairs with the dedo light of numerous occasions previously.

The weather was perfect for us to get every shot done with little rain or wind. It was cold but our actors pushed through it. 

Poppy exceeded her amazing make up skills once again on Heather for the death and beating up scene.

MAKE UP FROM THE FIRST SHOOT

MAKE UP FROM THE SECOND SHOOT

We uses are sparse knowledge of stage fighting to safely carry out small 'violent' shots for the film.

Overall we got everything that we needed to, in the small amount of time we had to do it.
