Title sequence

I thought I would just expand on our groups idea for our title sequence and explain where it's going and what we hope to do. Our idea was to have our title sequence during our time lapse which lasts about 20 seconds, this is our establishing shot so we would get all the titles including our film name at the start of our opening. Also when we watched back over our time lapse we could see that the buses stood out during it so we came up with the idea that we could slow down parts of the time lapse and have our titles appear on the buses. After we thought about it and played about with the speed of our time lapse we haven't yet found a way of doing this without the time lapse looking jumpy, so we have to have another think as a group and come up with another plan about how we want to have the credits appearing.

Walk of shame advert.

I came across this Harvey Nichols advert which in a way fits in well with the concept of our 2 minute opening. A majority of our opening is simply me walking around various backstreets and (trying) to look paranoid which relates to the advert but just in a different situation. Anyway I love the establishing shot in this advert and our group wanted to get a shot of me walking in and out of a train station which I think this advert will help us to look at the different angles we could go from and also to think about the lighting effects we want to use. The low lighting throughout most of this advert works really well with the point of the advert.

Upcoming weeks plans..

We were hoping to spend the whole day last wednesday getting our final footage but seeing as the weather ruined our plans once again (typical British weather) we decided that hopefully if the field we are planning to film in is clear of snow and dry by this Tuesday evening and there is no rain throughout Wednesday then we will go Wednesday afternoon. So far we have had no luck on Wednesdays so if not we will most likely go Friday morning. I am saying our final footage but we might find out when we edit all our footage that we need to make a few changes or re-do some shots, which will be done soon after if necessary!

Update!

This is our vlog update of our upcoming plans and our progress so far!

Snowy conditions!

The snow would work so well in our two minute opening but the continuity if our film wouldn't be right so we've decided to just wait for it to melt to film are last few shots. We have filmed too much to start all over again in the snow! Lets hope it's melted before Wednesday!

Snow!

The snow is here but we need it to hold up for next Wednesday as we have the day off we want to get our final shots and carry on editing!

Moving forward!

We started editing our time lapse yesterday, we're having a bit of trouble at the moment because we have sped the time lapse as fast as it can go and cut it but it is still too time consuming. We wanted to be able to show the light change from night to day in the time lapse to demonstrate the length of time that has passed while her world is stood still but the world around her is still moving forward.

Time to start editing!

Excited to edit now! Hopefully the time lapse will work out as it has in our heads! Still recovering from that ridiculous early morning! Really just need to get the shots we have in order now and edited well to see maybe what we need to improve or change. Hopefully it all works out! We got to Trafalgar Square at 6:30 and filmed until 8:05 to catch the sunrise and light change in front of me! The things i do for media.. sitting in Trafalgar for 2 hours in this freezing weather! That's dedication!

Making changes..

I just noticed that my last post didn't publish because of 'no service' yesterday but after we finished filming for our time lapse we got some shots of me walking around London. We also came up with a new ending which we will talk about in class next week. If it goes well and we think it will work well we will probably go next Saturday to film and get some of our final shots.

Trafalgar!

Currently sitting infront of Trafalgar Square while Hannah, Taneshia and Alicia film the time lapse behind me! I must say I have been getting very odd looks seeing as I've been sitting here since 6 and it's ridiculously cold! On the bright side I made friends with security!
