Before any footage was shot we planned what we were going to do on each shoot and what was needed like like props and setting and also who was needed each day so the actors knew what they were doing.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-6475192431665552602011-03-17T12:11:00.000-07:002011-03-17T12:11:25.688-07:00Things i have learnt from thisI am now more confident using the programmes to edit and photoshop. I found it hard working out how to get things to fade in and out and how to cut things down at first. But now i feel more confident and can do it really easily. The titles were much easyer after i made a template on photoshop and used that to keep the house style the same. Ive also learnt that having dark parts in the footage and just having speaking have benfited the titles and given me alot more room to put them in. Last lesson i also found out how to smooth down footage and sound so there was no bumps or crackles in the footage.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-20224215510592135522011-03-16T09:06:00.000-07:002011-03-17T12:01:31.491-07:00Secret Shadow !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">lotte<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyga4WzPNEQEWq5cze0uGYA3wiQ6dgIjrW0rqIDhVIk77FiTRmRRt4uJxEzgCCNmkK2XvIkYygkk1y_oZ00xg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-54473034994668089302011-03-16T08:51:00.000-07:002011-03-18T04:09:08.378-07:00Possible Locations<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o-X3BPeQWGQ/TYDcQBse76I/AAAAAAAABis/RqcPuUh1HnI/s1600/DSCN1480.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o-X3BPeQWGQ/TYDcQBse76I/AAAAAAAABis/RqcPuUh1HnI/s320/DSCN1480.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I decided to come in and spend some extra time on the titles and the footage. I ended up finishing my titles and also managed to spend some time sorting out the sound which didn't flow. This ended up going into the lesson to. Having the extra time made it not be rushed and end up a mess.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-27812788212150198132011-03-16T08:37:00.000-07:002011-03-16T08:37:56.723-07:0016/3/10 Lesson PlanWe have now in our minds think we have finished. We didnt use all the titles made due to us thinking we didnt need any more on because it would have over crowded the film. We smoothed out the music to make sure there was no bumps and checked all the titles were working. We have also played it through to make sure all the footage was smooth and working. Over all we our happy with our final peace and think given the time we had we have something good to show for it.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-77988261986893005582011-03-15T08:30:00.000-07:002011-03-16T08:33:43.379-07:0015th March 2011We changed the music and the sounds volume so it faded in and out so it didnt have a bump in it. We then added some more titles onto it which took longer than planned. We didnt realise it took 10-15 minutes per title to put them onto our film. However we had a lot of space to put our titles due to the black areas. Tomorrow will be our last lesson so we will have to try to aim to finish it.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-43626252820052088202011-03-11T04:18:00.000-08:002011-03-11T04:18:57.749-08:00<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><u>Pros</u></div><ul><li>good variety of shots</li>

<li>Music needs to be tidied up and some bits need to be louder</li>
<li>The sound needs ti be changed because the volume is bad in some parts of the footage - In the dark footage we need to make sure that its obvious there is music and have it louder to create a more tense atmosphere</li>
<li>In the last shot of jaelle sitting down, we need to have the actual sound of the TV to show that this person is invading her homely environment.</li>
<li>In the daytime shots it needs to edited to be made less brighter so it flows better with the darker shots previously</li>
<li>need more titles to fit in the darker spaces of the footage</li>
<li>We need to shorten the opening a little bit so it doesn't drag on</li>

<br />
Today me and jaelle were filming in the grand arcade. I filmed jaelle walking into the entrance of the shopping centre and going into shops ( Topshop.) Also when filming i filmed her talking a friend which was unplanned and was an advantage to us as it makes our footage more affective and real life. We see him walking off from the conversation which gives off to the audience that she was meeting up with a friend and gives an insight into what the character likes doing and shows her friend. Towards the end of the filming session i filmed jaelle walking out of the grand arcade and having other people walking past it looks more suspicous and creates a risky atmosphere.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-82579683917111735782011-03-02T13:36:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:36:31.588-08:00Overall view of the thriller so farSo far it is looking rather well, i was a little worried at the start about the footage we got back because it was so dark and you could only hear voices. However after speaking to tom he said it would seem alot scaryer if you didnt see alot and just heard things. This also gave us an advantage of lots of areas to put titles. The ending part is also looking really well and the ending leaves at a cliff hanger which makes you want to see the rest. <br />
<br />
However we still have no middle part to our film which at this point isnt a worry because we have most of the footage. On fridays lesson i hope me and the group can put the middle part together and have what we would like to think is our thriller sequence. If i have enough time id also like to add some more of the titles i have spent ages making. It has taken a long time to get the hang of using the programme we are using along with photo shop and trying to get the text to move.<br />
<br />
I feel more confident now about using the programme we are using even though it has taken a while.I found trying to get the text to move really hard but once i got the hang of it everything went fine. Due to losing out on next tuesdays lesson it means we only have about 3 hours to get together what we think be the finishing thing ready to present it to everyone friday. If we dont manage to get the footage at least together and most the titles on by friday we will see if the group and myself will go in wednesday before the lesson starts to get more done.<br />
<br />
While one/two of us is sorting out the footage and putting the titles on. The rest of the group could be thinking of the title of the thriller. Along with re-doing katies breathing and also starting to put music together if we are to put any on there. We also need to add in the productions logo we have finished which shouldnt take very long.<br />
<br />
From my point of view everything is going really well and the group seems to be working with everyone playing a part in the filiming/editing. It will be good to get feedback from the others to know how to improve and make the sequence better so we can get the best out of what we have done.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-47415037300375007102011-03-02T13:20:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:20:26.155-08:004th March Lesson PlanCharlotte- All the footage thats been done needs to have been croped down and into place. Along with at least most the titles in place.<br />
<br />
Katie & Jaelle- Need to come up with a name for the thriller, also to do the breathing we are going to use throughout the sequence.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-19990964963963164012011-03-02T13:14:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:14:55.030-08:002nd March Lesson PlanCharlotte- to start putting on the titles that we made. We had to change the colour tone on alot the writing due to us using a white back ground at first but decided to change it to go over the footage. Starting to have a really nice opening sequence and end. However the middle is still empty and still needs footage to be added and cut down.<br />
<br />
Katie & Jaelle- Went to the grand arcade to film some more footage, which was then upload to the computer at the end of the lesson. Next lesson will start on the breathing & music? we also need some more footage, however by friday we should have all the footage we need. Just a case of putting it all together.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-19600649504448596962011-03-02T13:09:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:09:37.803-08:0018th Feb plan for lessonCharlotte- to work on using the footage we shot over the 2 night period and edit it to put something together. We now have what we would like to think of as a star and finish to our thriller. Theres alot of blank areas to put titles in which we will start next lesson. We will have to re-do the breathing as it doesnt sound very good through using the camera. We also need to get some more footage.<br />
<br />
Katie & Jaelle- went out and filmed some more footage we can use in the thriller. There was shots of actually talking to the man and walking of, also walking along the road. We will still need extra footage however there was some nice shots we are able to use.Long Road Thriller 2011http://www.blogger.com/profile/09692501379226653980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368218667715369004.post-5670313542628523222011-02-04T04:03:00.000-08:002011-02-04T04:03:17.658-08:00Titles test<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/x3GYSVN7TZ0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
