Final Production

This is our completed sci-fi film opening.

Preliminary Task

Very happy with the final clip. Its given me the experience to take towards the 2 minute film production.

We achieved the brief, and we attempted to try other camera shots and techniques. 

There were some minor errors, but overall I am happy with this clip we produced for the time given.

Final Post

Hi, hope you enjoyed my journey and my first insight into producing a film. There has been many highs, and less lows. I have made this video aswell to show my enthusiasm, and enjoyment in producing the film clips. 
All the way though this project I have tried to stand out and be unique in everything produced. I have learnt lots and had some hilarious moments in filming. 

Here are a few...
My Experience:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IssPaCr23k0

Almost finished

From experimenting with the different filters, it ended up affecting the video quality. Also, we decided that tinting certain parts of the film. 
Today, we have almost finished. We added the dialogue and soundtrack to the film, which we then tinted certain parts of the film. 
We have very little to change, however, these changes could improve my grade.
I have also begun my evaluation questions and looking at past A grade examples in using different types of media.

A step Closer to to final edit

http://youtu.be/ttzPZzZ1nc8

I have finalised some aspects of editing. I experimented on using some snap shots of the scientist in both the past and future to resemble his power initiating. Need to also add the dialogue. 

All of the other addition can only be done at collage, so it has to be completed next week.

Further progression of editing

I have attempted using different filters, this is added to the previous edited clip so we can evaluate and decide the best filter(s) to use. This is becuase each filter adds different atmosphere and emotion, thus we have to encode the correct, intense atmosphere to sync with the sound and action in shot. Meaning that the correct filter is vital in enhancing the effect to the intended target audience. Choosing an intense dark filter would be more suitable to connote to the danger, aggression, and suspence in the opening shot. We decided to enhance these emotions to excite and interest an adult male.

News Report

This is a news report we made showing the reasons in why we chose certain aspects of the mise en scene, which help our film relate to the brief.

Sound

Thinking about using old and new instruments/styles to combine the old conspiracies and placing them in a modern environment.

I have searched many copyright free websites for our soudtrack. In the website: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?feels%5B%5D=Aggressive&Search=Search+by+Feel I found two tracks to choose from: Five Armies and The Cannery.

I am thinking of using one of these tracks to download and edit using the Garageband software. This way I can more abient sounds to build tension and suspence.

We have learnt that sound is 50% of the film. It adds and enhances a great amount of emotion, also is one of the main ways to produce emotion within filming.

Progression of Editing

This video is our latest video from editing the clips. I think it matches the brief very clearly. I think that the filming and production process went very well- eventhough we had to be very organised through the short filming sessions. It seems how we planned, but it does have some major and minor errors which we need to overcome. 

We need to: add sound, make it flow (continuity editing), add titles (of editors, producers... ect), and polish it off. 

Overall we are keeping to a good time schedule. This week we will have finished the clip (may have to come in at the Easter holidays). Then this allows us two weeks for us to concentrate on the evaluation questions.

Re-shoot of the Interrogation Scene

We have decided to do a retake the interrgation scene after overlooking the previous clips. Only a few needed to be replaced/added, meaning it did not take as long as last time. I had the lanlords permission to do a final shoot on Friday.

We was curius with the weather foorecasted being heavy snow. This could affect our shots of the outdoor of the barn/shed, but more importantly being able to get to the location. However, everyone was fully motivated in finishing filming, which for me and Tom was a great advantage. We informed everyone the local bus routes and times, as luckily they were running as usual.

Next, once arrived we had to have the extact same layout of the barn as filmed previously, to keep continuity throughout the clip. I was in charge of bringing the props, costumes and equipment to the set. Whereas, Tom helped produce the mise en scene when arrived.

Lighting - Target Audience

The natural lighting used in the science experiment scene is very effctive with the blend of the dark blue (from the blind, lit by natural light) and the bright red flame (exerted from the bunsen burner). This mixture of colours helps signify a supernatural tone with the bright colours from the lighting, moreover, it is helped from the colours of the experiment (red, green, blue). Combining these colours enhances the application towards the brief- in relating to a sci-fi genre, but also entertains the older audience.

Screen grab of a shot taken from the science lab

From research earlier, the Asian race would be attracted to this opening, from interlinking a theme of science (due to their highly advanced technlogy). Furthermore, the violence and aggression would further appeal to males, rather than females. In conclusion, it portrays us applying our research of producing the film to appeal to the more relevent target audience.

This shows us taking into account the audineces interests, which shows good, detailed research which (if released) would proliferate the exchange.

Editing

This is evidence of us editing in Serif Movie Plus. We are using this to place all of the clips together, making it take less time to export. It also gives us the amount of time taken, and will help me edit the soundtrack to each scene.
We are planning to make a black cut imbetween the time lapses when the two antagonists chase the scientist.

Science Experiment Scene-filming results

Finished filming the science experiment scene. It went smoothly. Learned to use the tripod a lot more, to make it look more professional. It helps to keep the ca,era stabilised, which helps create continuity and fluidity throughout the different shots.
