Chronological order sequence?

Music

The music on our rough cut is a song by the prodigy. it has already been produced by a band and if we were to use it it would be copyrighting. Also in the project spec it says we have to create our own sounds, because of this we are going to have to change our music by either cutting some of it out or adding our own sounds.

Comments on Rough Cut

Comments:

Music is copyright
Black and white is better than colour/all the time
Black and white is most striking
Energetic
Revenge
Action Thriller/ Gangster Triller
Black and White = stand out effective
He cheated the conman
One man in suit one in casual, is that meant to be?
Striking features, good camera shots like Harry's trainers
Mood is very fast paced - action thriller
Revenge will be the rest of the plot or bigger scam
subgenre - action/thriller
Shots are a bit too long e.g had to wait for another pair of feet to come in
Music suited, could be better not to have Prodigy

From the comments, we now know that the black and white scenes are effective. We also may have to change the music. The characters are very distinct. people seem to understand the genral plot of the sequence.

Feedback.

In todays lesson we watched and reviewed each others footage.
We received mainly possitive feedback but also some negative points we need to work on.
The negative points where-
That some of the shots are too long-of the feet, audiance gets impatient having to wait for next shot.
That our song is copyrighted-therefore people have heard it before and it also might remind them of past conotations-destracting them from the footage.
Costumes- some people commented that Harrys clothing was too casual for the shoot, we knew this but had planned for him to be in casual more informal clothing so to make Phil (character two, in the suit) appear more authorititive.

In our opinion we knew most of these points. However the fact that our feet shots are too long was a suprise to hear as we thought we had cut them down to quick enough.
We were glad to head that it all made sence, we had some worries that people wouldnt understand that plot. That character one had conned character two.

It was beneficial to hear what other peoples opinions are of our project. We can work on what they felt was wrong with it and improve the mistakes.
Now we wil work on changing the music so that it is not a copywrited song.

The very Latest stuff. Breaking news.

Today we started our quest for our music by researching thriller titles on youtube and getting an idea for the potential genre of the music that was used popularly. This way we could analyse which genre would work best for our titles. To start making our music; we had a look into the drum beats and rythymns available to us and agreed that it needed an urban theme to it. We then explored other areas like synth, this was particularly popular in the thriller titles we watched.

Latest stuff

We edited our clips further by speeding up some of the chase scenes. we thought this would keep up the pace in some of the slower clips. We also slowed down the last 5 seconds by cutting it ino pieces and making each slower than the last until it ends.

We also have added the basics of our titles. We went onto youtube and search for random opening titles, to copy down the different credits we need, this way we shouldn't miss anything out. We decided to put the titles on a black background rather than on the footage, this way it will not distract attention, and the black and white titles will make good contrast with the fast paced footage.

We still need to make simple changes to the titles add transitions and music. Tune in next week to find out our progress, goodbye kids.

'mood' location images + ideas

Before we went out to film we had a look at some images to get some inspration for locations. We looked specifically at areas that look slightly derelict or rarely used.

Chase scene

I searched chase scenes on youtube for inspiration, I found this video from Point Break. When we filmed ours, we tried to capture some fast-paced action.

So far...

so far our filming has been put in to final cut and we are currently editing it. Our flashbacks will be coloured in black and white. we have also ordered our title sequence with the sound from filming. whats left is the music, titles and prodction and logo's.

Filming

We have filmed our thriller titles sucessfully. We all met at the top of the grafton park at 10 o'clock and managed to film all of our shots by 11:50. We experimented with different shots and angles throughout our filming. We also decided to add variation to our locations by filming the final frames at an old lock-up which had walls graffiti sprayed. We didn't come across any distractions/problems so we were able to film everything we wanted to.

Filming.

Yesterday we spent the day filming our project.
I think that it went really well, we filmed all the shots we had planned and a few extra ones for editing purposes, in case next time we look at the clips we notice something was wrong, we will still have the back up.
Some problems we had were, the weather- it was very bright, so the first shot of the doors was hard to film as the sun was leaking through the windows and blinding the camera. This was also hard when shooting the sceens on the top of the car park.
Whilst filming we found a place with graphitie and garages, this we felt, would fit really well with our theme, soe we shot the last scene there.

Title ideas

http://graffiticreator.net/html/creator1.htm

Here i have made some ideas for what the title could look like.
during some discussion we said we could use some real graphite saying 'The Drop' or we could just make it on the computer.
George also had the idea to use an image of the words scratched into a piece of wood or a wall.
