Final Editing

This week we have been editing our final piece. We first put all our footage onto the computer and then we chose the scenes that we wanted for a our final piece. Then we put them all together and then choose the right parts and the correct scenes.
We then when we had the right scenes and in the right order that we wanted them to be in we added the transitions that were needed. This then made the opening sequence and we still have to add in the credits and edit it more. This will be done by the end of this week so that we stay in schedule.
We also have nearly finished the music, we have made it that there are two parts to it this is because for the credits there is one part and for the rest it is one part. They both blend together, we just have some finishing touches to be made for the final part of the music. Then we can put it into the final piece and check how well it goes and that everything is done.

Brief Plot Summary of "Flight 777"

A breif plot summary of what the opening sequence is about is that, it starts off with the main character and this is the terrorist, which is against freemasonry. The senator that is later shown has been accused of being a freemason. This is why the terrorist makes plans to bomb the plane and you see the photos of the terrorist on the tables. The senator is being accused of being a freemason which we hear about in the raido report. This gives us the information for the plot, and creates more suspense. At the end we see the terrorist leave the room in a hurry with all the plans.

Different technology used

Mood Board

This is the differnet technolgy that i have used doing this piece of work. I have used all of these for specific things in my coursework. I have used livetype for editing and titles. I have used IMovie for editing, i have used garageband for recording the sound and making the music for the opening sequence. I also have used scribd to embed documents onto my blog. I have used blogspot to record what i am doing in my coursework and for research. I have also used cameras and tripods to record the shots and scenes we took. All of these programmes helped me to make the final openeing sequence.

Mood Board

Mood Board

This is a mood board of the different types of audience that we have for the opening sequence. It shows that there are many people who would be intrested in the openeing sequence. The target audience is people aged between 16-35. This is so that they will understand it and still be intreseted in these types of movies. Also cinemas would be intreseted and production companies. There are other films that are in this genre that are similar and this is because they are also the same genre and so thriller films have the same suspense that is created.
Thriller films all have suspense created and they have similar plots because it always gets the audience wondering what will happen next. Thriller films want us to be curious to what is going to happen and they keep the audience attracted to the film.

Different shots used in sequence

Shot for Annotation


These were differnet shots that were used for the sequence, this was after we edited for the final version of the opening sequence. I have annotated them so that you can see what each of them show and how they are relevant for the genre and how they introduce new characters. Als it shows the setting and how the suspense builds up.

Shooting day

We had to make sure that we had everything with us that we needed such as the props, the camera and the tripod. We also had to make sure the lighting was right and the setting was relavent for the opening sequence. We first made sure we got all the equiptment set-up and put it in the right places. Then we put all the props where we needed them. Then we started filming the scenes that we needed.
We filmed all the scenes in one day and got all the different variety of shots that were needed to get high marks for the openeing sequence. We also took pictures of ourselves while doing this. We made sure we had everything that we needed.
This is a list of all the props we used-
-Bag

-Papers
-Table Lamps
-Radio
-Remote Control
-Boots
-Scissors
-Pliers
-Wire
All of these props were very useful for what we needed and we used all of them in our opening sequence.

New Script

Final Script for Flight 777

New Idea

As a group we have decided that we are going to change the opening sequence ideas around. This is because the first storyboard that we did, did not have any compliated shots that we need to show we understand the task that is given.
This meant that we then had to start again with the same idea and make a whole new idea of shots. We then made the whole storyboard up, and we took out the part with the aiport scene and this was because we decided as a group that we didn't really need the airport scene because we just needed the radio report. We change the radio report from the news report. This was because it was more practical to do it from the radio.
We stayed with the original idea and just made sure that we used a varied amount of shots of the camera so that the audience find the opening sequence more interesting.

New shooting Schedule

This is the new shooting Schedule-:

Filming Schedule of: Flight 777

Garageband

I have been using Garageband to come up with the music that we will put into our opening sequence, this will make the scene have more suspense in it. Garageband has many sounds on there in which you can make your music sound like. There is a lot of variety, this way you can make it sound original. Also there are other noises that may be needed for the opening sequence, scuh as a doorbell and other door sounds. I have been experimenting with many sounds and i have come up with something that i may put into our opening sequence.

Garageband also has many instruments that you can choose from to make you music. It also has many different sounds form those instruments that you can choose from, this way this makes the sound very different from each other. You can change the volume of each sound and you can change how long you want the sound and if you want to combine two sounds in one. It is very easy to use garageband and it is very useful.

Script for thriller

we made a new storyboard so we had to make a new script, this ws because we wanted there to be more complicated shots involved.

Red Herring

Red Herring-:

A red herring diverts the audience from the truth or the item of significance.

an example of this would be an innocent person in a film that is highly suspectable, through emphasis and descriptive techniques, and this way the attention is drawn away from the guilty person.

The red herring that will be in our opening sequence will be when the news report is being played, this will take away the innocence away from the real threat in the opening scene and therefore put the blame on the other character.

Final Logo design

For our final logo design we had to choose between two designs. They were both very different because they were two different types of designs.

1st design-

2nd design-

The final one we choose was the 2nd design, this was because we decided that it was more professional and more unique. It looked more professional for our audience and for the film production image. It has a black and white color that looks very classic and minimalistic. The image looks like a film production  

Live type

Today in class we looked at a new software livetype. This software is used for the films credits. We got to play around with the different videos that were on there. We got to change it by adding titles to it for the credits such as the producer and the director and famous actors. This allowed us to get a feel for what live type if like. We also got to add transitions and effects to the titles. This made the video look more exciting and more appealing to the audience. Now we have an idea of what it's like and then we can use it for making the credits for the opening sequence.

Logo Research

This is the research that we made for the logo design.

Sound Analysis

In the opening sequence of seven, it starts off with the sound starting very crumbly and then goes onto the sound of the typewriter or a scanner of somesort. This creates an effect that work is being done, and this catches the audiences attention straight away becuase they want to know what type of work is being done. Then you hear loads of blades all at once being truned on and this creates the sound of someone doing something that may be vert suspicous. It has the drum beat in the background as all of the sounds are being played and this shows the audience that it is creating the suspense as the sounds are coming and changing but there is still a beat in the background. The beat suddenly changes at 0:26 and this shows the audience that something is happening and it is all very mysterious. The sounds are like someone is making something and thos gives the audience the vibe that something is happening that is bad or wrong in a way. The sound is very mysterious and it changes the beat again at 1:13 and it become louder and this wakes the audience up and makes them more cautious as to what exacctly is happening. You then hear the words at 2:00 "you got me closer to die", this makes the audience realise that something bad is going to happen and creates the suspense more in the film.
