Additional features

UNFORTUNATELY Whilst recording some footage was lost by it being recorded over, there is nothing we can do about this incident and unfortunately time does not allow for us re-shoot the shots that were lost.

However an idea that was brought forward was a voice over of non-digetic sound which will be just a simple monologue just to add that extra information piece of information for the audience. We just think this will be a great addition to our title sequence and add more of a professional feel.

An example of what we are trying to achieve Has been implemented into the film GOODFELLAS.

Editing process





Here are some print screens of the editing process, firstly we imported the footage via imovie and did rough cuts then we imported it into Final Cut Pro. 

Danny has been showing me the ropes with editing and this has been an enjoyable experience.  

Updates In Typography


SPENCER
The previous production typography has been axed. This has happened due to the font giving off the impression of being too American based; which resemble a American High School feeling. The font shown above was selected in replacement to the previous one because we believe it is a bit sharper and isn't really a block edged font. We also felt it has it has an identity which really related to our title sequence. A font we was also looking to resemble was the Pulp Fiction which was a very straight forward font but also relates to the contents of the film.

Examples Of Shots

The location we was looking at was a skyline from canary. this type of shot is seen regularly in the filming industry by also setting the location of where the film is set. However the idea we are going for by using the location is to let the audience aware of what type of titles sequence we are shooting like a sense of upper class environment also a feel of sophistication.

1:03 - 2:43



As a group we collectively thought it woud be good if we had a london skyline time lapse shot; this would most deffinately be a good addition to our title sequence. moreover there are time issues but time should allow for us to get all ur shots.

Typography

There has been in a change in the typography we used. We used the idea of the title from the Godfather.It is very basic black background and white text; very simple but also affective. We never was trying to over exaggerate by using various colors and a font which has been either scratched in and other effects we wanted something very simple and basic to reflect on our title sequence.

Possible Shooting Locations


This is outside the school building this place was chosen due to us feeling it would be a great pathway to open our title sequence. This is a location i was halfway happy about this location due to the football pitches just creeping into the shot making it seem unrealistic.



I was really keen on this, the double doors are extremely common in any types of films involving someone with power. Also it is quite dark and merges with genre of our film to create the effect we are intending.



This was a possible opening sequence. We as a group collectively thought this would be a very great shot to use, having someone coming out of a lift. 

I was happy with this shot it was inside then school premesis but due the set out of it with all the photos on the wall it also looks like a good location due to the legnth of the corridor.
