ROUGH CUT FOR TITLE SEQUENCE

This is the rough cut for my title sequence that was screened in class.

SHAUN'S BLOG FEEDBACK

Today we received some feedback from Shaun our teacher regarding our blogs and what grade the blogs are on. He said that my blog was at a C grade and if I needed to push the grade up I should reduce the pictures and add more writing because myt blog lacked enough written work and there were too much irrelevant pictures on it. I reduced the pictures and only left the relevant ones, I also explained the pictures and the procedures of how I did the things on there because before it was just pictures and no explanation.

He also said that I needed to increase the length of my title sequence analysis for a better grade because they were too short. I added more analysis to 'Dawn of the Dead' and 'Creep" title sequence.

I also decided to upload the rough cut for my title sequence, feedback from teacher and others and possible improvements.

After gathering information on people's opinion on my choice of song for the title sequence I then decided to use the first track because it had the most vote and I think it goes very well with idea for the title sequence and it has an action beat to it and that will add seriousness to the title sequence. The first track is has the fastest face and I need a fast paced soundtrack for my title sequence.

THURSDAY 24TH JANUARY 2013    (SOUND TRACKS)

Today I had to look for a suitable sound track for my title sequence, add it to the rough cut of the title sequence and get audience opinion on them. I chose four sound tracks with the intension of using only one.
FIRST SOUND TRACK

 This soundtrack is fast paced and works well with    the action part of the film. I got this track Audio network, a copyright free music website and it has a very strong opening. 

SECOND SOUND TRACK

 This soundtrack is not fast paced but it had a horror mystery tune to it that will create enigma for the audience. However it could create genre confusion as the track sounds a bit western and it will make the audience wonder what type of setting the film will be.

THIRD SOUND TRACK

 This soundtrack is fast paced but it is an action comedy soundtrack and it can create confusion in for the audience as to the numerous genre of the film and this could result in misinterpretation of the film.

FORTH SOUND TRACK

 This sound track is okay for the genre of the film but it does not give the audience an element of tension and it is too normal like nothing has happened and it doesn't interprete the genre of the film so it might be a bit confusing for the audience to understand the film's genre in relative to the title sequence.

TUESDAY 22 JANUARY 2013  (EDITING THE TITILES AND SCENES)

I decided to create my titles on Final cut pro instead of importing them from photoshop because it was easier for me and I could easily add effects to them.

I used the text on Final cut pro, went to control and typed in what I wanted to be on the title sequence and I also chose the font and I could control the size of the font, the color and how it appeared on the screen.

 The effect I added to the titles was bad film effect so it will have a shaky unsteady bloddy drool effect. This goes well with the subgenre of the film which is zombie. This helps the audience foreshadow that there might be gore scenes in the film.

After the effect had been added the color of the title faded into a blood like color and the title was like a blood drool unsteady effect.

The last thing I did was to add the shoots that I had taken and in oder. I just imported the footage and I didn't add any effect to them because that was how I wanted them to be. However there were two footage that needed editing on Adobe aftereffects because they were done on green screens.

After this editing task I know know how to edit well on final cut pro and a minimum knowledge of adobe after effects and how to add background on scenes shoot on green screen. I now know how to add texts on final cut pro and what and how to add effects to certain footage imported.

GREEN SCREEN TUTORIAL

I needed to use green screen in my editing because I filmed the news report scene and the scientist scene in class using a green screen. I looked up how to use a green screen online and asked Shaun Grimley and Jack Hill for help because I was not very good at it and I kept making mistakes.
This is the tutorial video I found online.




After this tutorial I was finally able to add a background and effects on the scenes I shoot on a green screen.

DIARY ENTRY 12

DAY OF FILMING
Today I filmed the news report scene, the chasing scene and the scientist scene. I filmed the scientist and news report scene in class because I needed a background, I used the green screen to create a false background for the two scenes because I couldn't film in a real science lab or a real broadcasting studio.

This is a close up shot of the setting of the news report scene and this shows how the scene will be filmed with the two chairs and the green screen behind the chairs.

This is a picture of the news report scene and the camera shows how it will be when filming is over. Unfortunately the green screen was not wide enough and I was unable to get a wider one in time so that affected the scene.

This is a picture of the scientist scene. The scientist was closer to the green screen than the news casters because I wanted it to be like he is the only one there and that he is filming it himself.
