Filming Journal: 14th February 2011

Today we were given feedback about our title sequence in which we had made and we began to start to improve the points of the sequence in which we were told wasn't as good as others. We started to change the typography used for the names and the jump cuts in which were previously used.

In today's lesson we finished our title sequence by adding new music to the piece, and also adding the our distributers logo, Universal Studies. When adding this to our title sequence to decided to use video converter from youtube videos, however the sound was not included in it so we decided to convert the sound from video2mp3 converter, and then added the sound and moving image of the logo separate.

In today's lesson we added the music in which Megan had created to the footage of our horror film title sequence. We listened to it a number of times to see how we could improve and change it, each we had done this we added it to our title sequence.

Today, we added some music to our title sequence. The music in which we added was from the Omen, however we needed to add music to your sequence so that we were able to show the class our general idea for music as the music in which Megan was creating, was not yet complete to add.

This morning our whole group viewed the title sequence so far and the progress in which each of us had come to. We looked at what we felt we needed to improve and started changing the speed of some clips, such as the last clip where somebody's shadow is walking past the camera, as we felt slowing this clip down, it may make it more eerie. The group also decided to change the speed of the child drawing and ripping the teddies apart so that the audience are able to see that there is something wrong with the child.

In our two hour lesson we began to put the last footage onto the title sequence. We decided to change the idea of using a mirror and someone walking past it to the footage of the title sequence because we were having trouble filming the young boy looking into the mirror and someone walking past. This is when we decided to film round Megan's house an extra part when the young boy has his back to the camera, laying on the bed when a shadow walks past him and the camera. We also added blackouts in the title sequence to allow it to flow easier and for other people to understand the title sequence more.

During the lesson, we decided that we didn't to add a few clips which didn't come out very well when looking at the edited piece. This is when we decided to re-film the mirror scene round my house tonight and re-film the scene of the front of the fridge which begins the titles approaching the sequence.

After we had filmed around Megan's on Thursday, once we got back into school of Monday morning we began to look at the footage in which we produced. We began to edit and look at the different shots in which we liked, and others in which we felt we could improve. We felt that most of the footage which we filmed worked well, the only section which we felt we needed to improve was the scene at the end when the young boy looks into the mirror and someone walks past the camera. I then thought of the idea of filming the mirror scene around my house as I have a wider mirror which would work better once filmed.

Today, we are filming the title sequence of our film production, 'Walking with the dead'. As Me and Megan are the two people in the group who are involved in the filming, we are the two who are going to work together to film the whole title sequence tonight. We are aiming to get to Megan's at 3pm to set up and sort out all of the props. Then at 5pm the main actor who is playing 'Harry', will arrive and filming will begin. Grace is also coming to be in the film in short clips, camcorder and tripod have been sorted. Let filming begin!

Developments...

We started to look on Garage band at possible sounds for our Title Sequence. The sort of sounds to be featured in our Title Sequence are quite eerie sounds, to make it seem quite dark and sinister. Sounds that link to children will also be featured, such as keyboard music/nursery rhymes. We have also thought about featuring a child breathing.06/01/2011:

Also in the lesson, another idea for something that could be featured in our title sequence came about. We were discussing the ending to our Title Sequence, when we stumbled upon the idea of the main character writing a message on a mirror. We would have him actually write on an acetate sheet, so that we can also get a shot, as if the camera is in the mirror. We would put the acetate over the camera lens, and he will write onto it, so that we can see him actually writing it. For the message that is going to be written, we thought about a couple of ideas. At first I thought it would be good to say something quite dark, so I suggested 'it's all her fault' but after discussion, we came up with 'it's all your fault.'
