Changes!

The genre we decided to work with was crime dram. How ever as we was making and editing out title sequence we saw that it didny work as a crime drama. So we have chnged the genre to horror. As we watched the our film it didnt resemble any crime elements. Although we researched into crime drama's they stil helped us through the process and gave us many ideas. There are not many crime drama films about this is why we wanted to do this as it would be something different. However our film didnt fit in with this genre. If we had proceeded to use crime dram we may of lost marks. So we were happy to change our genre.

Final Cut Pro!

We was told to use to improve our film to use Final Cut Por. So me and Chelsea transferd our work to Final Cut Pro. It was our first time at using this software so it was like a test run. When we began to use it it wasnt so hard. However this soon changed when we had to re-order our work. What we didnt relise was if we overlapped our work it would take seconds from it. So when we had unjumbled our work it was much shorter than we had expected, then the seconds it was taking off were being added to another clip so ti didnt make sense. Me and Chelsea were stressing out so much and was going to give up. So afetr the disaster we decided that it was mucheasier to use iMovie. We are familiar with this programme. So finished our editing on this.

Seven Title Sequence

Seven

Previously in the talk about our title sequnece there had been discussions about the title sequnce from the film Seven. As our film and the film Seven are both crime based. Therefore we wanted them to be simimlar. However through the making of this it didnt resemble any of the Seven ideas. So then when it came down to the final stages of editing we started to add more effects. In between each scence we wanted credits and there to be a flash. As simple as this may seem it was not as easy. When we added these effects it didnt look right so we decided not to use them.

I dont want to sound stupid but I found it harder to do continuity than it would. You have to remember so much, like does it fit in and doeds it make sence. I know that you have to do that when making a film anyway but just the word continuity makes it sound more demanding in a way. We also had to remember the 180 degree rule when filming a conversation between two people. It took us an hour and half to make it as it was so hard to get good angles and we kept breaking the 180 degree rule so it didint look right because we had it from two different angles and it distorted the frame.

Luke

Luke is one of 2 boys in our group. Not for much longer though. Hes leaving. This was so out of the blue and unexpected. Hes decided 6th for isnt for him so he has got himself a job and he's on his way. He doesnt lwave until Monday 2nd Feb. So he is in fto help us film on Friday. He has said if we need him again he will help us =]. He'll definately be missed. Although i wont miss We cant let this make us fall behind anymore so were not going to let it. Were going to keep our heads down and get on with it. So now theres just 3 off us left =[.
