Film

With just over a week to go I think it's fair to say we've pretty much finished our film. We have all decided that the moving sky shot was a good shot but it had no relevance to our film and made our title 'Prey For Her' seem boring.. So, after a lot of fidgeting around with it, we have now taken out the moving sky shot and bought in the walking shot of Annika walking along the priory steps, slown it down and added our Title seperatley then faded to black with just 'Her' on screen. Overall I think this actually makes the beginning of the film seem less amateur! So I'm happy with our choice.

Here's a couple of screen shots I took after finally working it out on my mac (for any of you confused on your mac its command, shift, 4) and it's showing our new title which we all prefer and agree it works better. I've also included the fading of the title in to the black screen. This is probably my favourite shot of the title!

So it's got to the point when we're stuck on what to edit. With the deadline 2 weeks on wednesday we ended up filming for Andrea and Charlotte which was quite amusing and resulted in us running after 4 busses.  We now have a title that we think we're calling our film which is

Second draft

After Yasemin, Heather and I edited during our lesson on friday we've got our second draft done... There's still bits that need perfecting but we're definently close to the end. It's nice to get the hole in the middle animation now in our film- hope you guysss like it!

Hole in the middle

Here's our first animation of 'hole in the middle'. We're using the 0 flickering and a voiceover of 'hole in the middle' in amusing voices. The photo was taken by Millie so clearly not copied, and obviously it's my famous face in the photo. So here we have our fun production company along with our 'blocken clock archive' more serious production company.

Animation

Here's a screenshot of our 'indie horror' animation at the beginning of our film named 'Broken Clock Archive'. We've edited the font so it flickers which fits into our 'physiological' themed film. The sound we've used is a scratchy sound that we recorded from the authorised website LGFL Audio Work. The photo was originally taken by Millie for her photography but it fit our theme perfectly and the font was downloaded and then tweeked on iMovie. Our second animation will be on our second draft as we finished it today!

Justification

So throughout our film we have used a flashback of this cat.. It's actually Jades cat which got in the shot whilst filming our initial idea. Once watching back the footage we really loved the shot of the cat and they refer to Devil's these days so it all links in to our film- in a way it's fate forcing the cat upon our film! Also 'The Rite' used cats throughout their film (which I shall analyse this week) which was a weird coincidence.. So yeah, we've used a flashback of this cat which is in reference to Devil's and also childhood which links in nicely to the next flashback of the young girl..

First Draft

Friday's lesson was probably our most productive yet.. Heather, Yasemin and I finished off our production animation and then got the first draft uploaded to our Youtube account. It's nice to finally have a whole film to now work from and nice to know we're heading somewhere! I'm going to have to blog about the sound we used for the beginning, but do not threat, I will get to it!
