Titles

When we made the titles the first time round, we saved them buy the names of the credits and as it saves them in alphabetical order, they got muddled up. WE put them into our footage and realised when we watched it. We had to take them out off our footage and put them back into the correct order. After we had done this, we put them back into our film and it looked really good. An example off our credits is below:

Piecing together

When we were putting our footage together, we found that it was really easy to do as at first, we didnt know what to expect once we had uploaded it. We deleted a few pieces of footage as they didnt fit in with the rest of the film.

For the soundtrack, it changed every time we changed our storyline. our end piece went well with our footage as it changed with a different character. For the male, it was more jumpy, whereas it was smoother for the female. It took awhile to make the soundtrack as we had to make sure it was in time with our footage so we kept looking at the film to see the times of which character came and left. This worked really well as once we had uploaded this to the film, it kept in time with the footage and added to the effects.

New Idea

After we had finished our rough cut, we all had changed how we felt about our storyline and as our footage was not great, we all decided on a new storyline and made a time to film when we were all free to do it.

This time, we had all our actors so we could film and managed to get all our footage quicker than we had expected. We were in a new setting and we had kept the idea of it being in a flat but this time we were down the end of long road instead of going all the way to Royston.

Dramatic change

We had a problem with filming our footage as one of our actors didnt show up to the filming session. This meant we didnt have a male actor for the main role and, as we couldnt find another male who could film in such short notice, we had to change the storyline. We had gone to Royston to film as one of the groups friends had a flat we could borrow.

We quickly brainstormed up a new storyline and started filming a variety of shots including long shots and close ups. We had got enough footage to last a good amount of time and then uploaded to the college computers. We edited it so it all was in the right place and made sense. We added footage we already had to it as we had made our new plot as it fit well which also lengthened it out to a sutable time as once we had edited the first bit of footage, it had decreased so once we had added the old footage, it went back to a suitable length.

Filming

When we were filming, we managed to get enough footage to last for about two minutes in which we could edit it all together and still have enough footage for it to last for an acceptable amount of time. We found places in Royston similar to what we had on our storyboard but changed our storyline in places, therefore, not being able to get all our footage in one day. We got together and decided to finish filming one night in the week to add to our thriller genre change.

We started to edit the footage we had already in our first lesson back from half term. This gave us an idea of what we had to film next and we created another storyboard to fit with our ideas.
