Finished!

Last Friday we finally finished our two minute opening! Woo! We made a few last minute changes but nothing major! Overall I am so happy with our film and our group worked well together. One main change we made was, we took out our '2 weeks later' black screen at the end because we didn't feel it was needed as we decided that after our opening it could continue on to her finally getting home and going about her days normally until the secret/happening is revealed then its just one big flash back telling the story and the film ends the way it began! So in a way we started with the ending! We all thought this would work better! Hopefully that makes sense!

Title sequence.

So these are just snap shots from our title sequence and where are credits are. We have out our credits during our first 20 seconds of our opening and have put our film name last out of them. We decided to go with the name 'Double Cross'. This fits in with our opening because it links with betrayal and being sneaky or doing something wrong without others knowing.

VLOGGING.

This is mine and Alicia's blog from the other day, oh it was eventful and freezing!

Final editing!

As we've finally got everything into place and together now, it's looking good, but we are still having one tiny problem with the music! A part of the music where we have muffled when I take out my earphones keeps jumping and repeating so we still have to sort that out which we will try again tomorrow and we also are debating now whether we should keep the siren in one of the shots. The only reason we wouldn't is because it sounds too fake. So tomorrow we will watch our film again and decide what we want to do and hopefully by the end of tomorrow we should have everything sorted and have a completed 2 minute film opening!!

Finally!

Finally Alicia and I went out filming this morning and shot our redo shots we wanted. We also thought we needed to get a few linking shots to link our opening together better so we got one more foot shot of me getting on to the train and then a long shot of me walking out of the train station. Thankfully we finished shooting just before there was a downpour of snow and we got what we needed! We started editing again at school today and we have finally got the full sequence of shots together and our two minute opening nearly completed but we had some trouble with the muffling of the music at the end of our opening!

Sound effects& editing.

From the beginning when we started coming up with ideas for our 2 minute opening we were all keen on the idea of having loud sirens at one point of the film, now we're close to the end of filming and editing we could think about where we really wanted to add the sirens. To add to the paranoia effect we have tried to portray throughout our opening we decided to add the sirens to the start of me running and then  sirens fade out while i am running away. Also we have a shot of me pulling out my headphones near the end of our opening, so we have edited the music to be muffled and to sound as if it is being played through the headphones but into the air whereas the rest of the opening the sound is being played through her ears.

Names.

Our group are now thinking about names for the production company and for our film. We have come up with a few names previously for our film but we weren't to keen on all of them but we are gonna get together next week and finalise the name ideas. Yesterday we also added 'Broken' to our list of names and I think we are trying to go for a simple name but with meaning behind the name and to link with the background of our film.
