Journal - 9th February 2011

In todays lesson we got lots done! We made a questionnaire to get audience feedback from, made an animatic, done screen shots of our editing process and updated everything on our blogs. We are way ahead of our schedule so we can now focus on making sure all the finishing touches are perfect!

Screen Shots of our editing process

Here is all of our different shots that we had to put into our sequence. This is was very hard to do at first as we wasnt really sure what we had to do as we had never used 'Final Cut Pro' before. This element of the software is very useful it stores everything that has been edited into our title sequence.
This was the starting point of our title sequence. We decided to use Longate as our distributor because they have distributed films that come under the same genre as ours, so we thought it would work well and fit in with the overall mood of our piece.
This is when we started to add the titles to our title sequence. This was a very long process!! We had to cut the image into lots of different pieces and move them up down to make it look like the titles were jumping about.
Here is the logo that Daisy created. I think this works really well and gives the eerie effect that we wanted.




This is the stage of the editing process when we added music to it. This took a very long time to choose the right piece of music that will not make the film too obvious!
This is our finished title sequence!! I am so happy with our finished product and believe that it has been very successful!

Questionnaire

Here is the questionnaire Sophie produced. We plan to give this to people so they can give us some feedback about our title sequence, we hope that this will give us an idea of things we could change and make better.

Final Typography!

This is our final typography idea for out title. We decided to use this as it is bold and stands out as the writing is white on a black background. We created this in a website called Picnik. We then decided to download the font we used so we can use it throughout our title sequence. We feel as a group that this font represents the stalker/investigator very well within our film as it looks like its decaying.

In todays lesson we showed our media teacher our FINISHED TITLE SEQUENCE!! She said it was fine so we were just finishing everything that needs to be done. We added the cast photos to our blogs and the music ideas that we had and our chosen ones too. Things that we still have to complete are to make some screenshots of our editing process. This shouldnt take too long then we can hopefully start on our evaluations so we should be ready well before the deadline hopefully!

Cast Pictures

Jon Purday our Media teacher starred in our title sequence as the Investigator.

Music Research

A very important part of our title sequence was the sound. We found this very difficult to find but here are the ideas we have so far....

We made all the finishing touches to our title sequence today and changed all the things Miss Whittaker told us to! We are very pleased with how our title sequence planned out as we did put so much effort into making it the best we possibly could.

Hopefully now we dont have to make any changes to our title sequence but if we feel the need to change something we will :)

In todays lesson we finally found some music to go with our title sequence!! It works really well with our piece as the timing works aswell as fitting in with the mood of the piece. Miss Whittaker said that by the end of the lesson we must have a piece to show the class and I am very pleased to say that we did!!! YAY :D

Feedback:
Fade out our titles as they just disappear.
Make some final tweeks to tighten it all up.
Change "A Sparky Productions" to "A Sparky Production".
