Evaluation

We finished our evaluation today and are currently in the process of uploading it to Youtube so that we can create a playlist for the questions we answered. We created answers beforehand as a group although some of the questions are only answered by two people.

Plans for our opening sequence

We finished most of these sheets before we created our film but we had to wait till our film was used in the showcase so we could get responses from our classmates and teachers.

Difficulties in editing

During editing we encountered a problem with one of the flashbacks, where we planned to desaturate all of the colour except for the red colour of the lips. We chose to do this effect to show that the person speaking was a woman and the colour represents the love and blood; themes which run throughout our opening. It also fits in with the red colour of the title, which appears at the end. The programme we are using didn't include the correct tool we needed to use this effect and so we had to use a different programme to edit this one clip and then move it back across into Final Cut Express. Instead we used Final Cut Pro which allowed us to use an advanced colour corrector. This meant that we could isolate the colour red on our clip and desaturate all the other colours.
We also managed to find sound effects to a couple of our clips, including the sound of a match lighting up and are still deciding between different footstep sounds.

Detailed treatment form

We've finished doing our treatment form although some of it may have changed due to our change in storyboards.

Delayed filming

We had to delay our filming this Sunday due to the location of our film has not been decided yet so we will postpone the filming to next Sunday when we will decide on a location during the week.

We also plan to film a flashback scene during school on Tuesday, so hopefully we will be able to do that.
