Final- The Delivery Boy

This is our final version of our film intrduction sequence. I think we all worked really well toegther to produce a good opening sequence!!

Evaluation

Today we filmed our evaluation for our media project, we met round Dans house after school, and planned what we would say for each question from the blog. The seven questions we found quite difficult to answer straight away, but when we started to get into conversation about them it came naturally. It was quite difficult trying to film us as we found it hard not to laugh and got a bit camera shy, but after reading over our answers a few times practicing we were able to finish our evaluation.

Shot log

Today we went round Dans to watch over our opening sequence and record the shots we took, this didnt take long, and was quite simple to do.

Group Meeting

Yesterday we all went to Daniel's studio to edit and review our finished film opening we had to create a production name and logo we chose ' Phantom Productions'. We changed the length of the film introduction as man people thought it was too long and become a bit boring. Within the 5 hours we spent in the studios at dans we were able to cut the film down and finish of the few things that needed editing. We also created the soundtrack with dad doing the piano to create a different jazzy effect along with the music softwarer to fit in with our opening sequence.
We will be going to the studio as a group one day this week to make our final changes to the film, and make sure everything is converted and ready to hand in.

Title sequence

We watched many films that were at similar genre to our own, e.g. pulp fiction, goodfellas, lock stock and two smoking barrels e.t.c we deicided that we liked the effect of a plain text of white on a black background showing the simplictity, keeping the audiences attention on voice over and the scene. This opening titles was similar to lock stock and two smoking barrels, we thought simplicty would make the rest of our opening sequence more intreging

Film Music

We had alot of discussion on what type of music we would use in the opening sequence that would work well, as our genre is horror and gangter type, we decided to use a jazzy type of music which contrasted against the type of person he is. I first tried creating on garage band our own background music, of a upbeat music into more deep mysterious music, however as we changed our voice over a week before our showcase to bring the theme of gangster movie we decided to change the music to a jazzy sort of music which dan created, as it fitted the opening sequence better.

First Showcase

Our first showcase we presented our opening sequence to every one for the feedback to edit and change, we already knew that there was many changes to make, as i did not agree with the length I found it quite boring, i also thought the voice over was quite confusing,  however dan and luke said that when it was on the film it would work. We discussed this issue, and decided to leave it down to the class to give feedback on how we should edit our opening sequence to make it bettter. Yesterday was the day of the showcase and we had to present our final draft of our film intro.Despite some of he problems we knew we had, we got positive feedback and took in consideration everything the students and the teachters.Me, Luke, Daniel, and Alice have decided to goto Daniel's house at  11 on sunday, so we can spend a good 5 or 6 hours editing the film intro and so everything is perfect
