Production Diary Entry - 11/03/13

Titles, Voice-overs and Behind the Scenes


Today in class we continued editing our opening sequence and adding the things that our audience recommended on our feedback.
We started by adding more titles to over the top of our sequence, including our cast, director, producer, editor, etc. We messed around with the positions of these titles on the screen and decided that instead of having them in the same corner of the screen we would alternate them between each title (so some appeared in the left corner, then the right corner, then in the middle right, etc) because we felt that this looked a lot more professional and overall a lot more interesting.
While finishing our editing we also looked for different music to put over our sequence, as our current was good in the sense that it seemed appropriate and did build tension, but it didn't seem that dramatic and it made the ending a lot less dramatic overall. Because of this we looked around on youtube for music we could use but so far we haven't found anything. We also had a look to see whether we could create our own on Garageband but none of the sound clips on their seemed appropriate for our sequence or genre. In the meantime we'll keep looking for music to include in own sequence, or a way to create our own.
We still need to add voiceover to our clip but we decided to do this on the break of our next lesson so we have an opportunity of a quiet, background noise free classroom. We also need to add Chloe's ident to our opening (we're using Chloe's because it's the first production company mentioned) and just adjust the clips and sound slightly in certain places to make sure there is a flow of both the continuity and audio as our audience mentioned some of it was out of sync.
Apart from these things we're really close to finishing our piece, and hopefully we'll be able to finish it slightly earlier to gain extra feedback.

As a group we thought it would be a good idea to create something showing the process of filming our piece, and so today I've also been working on the behind the scenes footage for our sequence and managed to finish it (post to follow with the video later today).
