RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk assessment from paulinewiley

This is our risk assessment for our opening sequence, here we are evaluating the potential risks that could occur during the making of the opening sequence.

ROUGH CUT 2

This is the second rough cut for our opening sequence. This is labelled as Rough Cut 2 because even though this will be almost identical to our Final Cut but we need feedback so it can be improved to create our Final Cut.

BLACK AND WHITE

One of the final things I need to do to complete my final cut, changing it to black and white. I'm changing it to black and white because it is a classic convention of film noir, when someone thinks of a film noir, according to my primary research, is they expect it to look old fashioned and in black and white. By doing this I am achieving my primary research of what my audience are looking for.

ANIMATIC

This animatic is basically a spoken version of our storyboard which we have applied to our rough cut. Another storyboard and animatic will be made for our final cut.

FINAL SEQUENCE EDITED

The final sequence is completed pieced together, just sound and titles need to be completed.

SOUNDTRACK 2

Running Away by Jenhutton This is the soundtrack we are planning of using for the kidnapping scene due to the minor tone of the piano.

EDITING SO FAR

One of our last days to edit. This lesson I'm trying to get it all edited and in black and white and I will add the titles tomorrow.

PRE-LIM

This is our Pre-Lim task that we completed in October 2012, one of our first projects in media studies. This is an example of our work using different shots and techniques, some of which we will apply to our opening sequence.

EDITING

Day 2 of editing our final cut.

PROPS LIST

This is a list of the props we have used and are planning to use again for our final cut. The props shown have been used to apply relevant mise on scene for the Noir genre.

COMPACT MIRROR

This is a compact mirror which we used in the reshoot of our opening sequence. We used this for reflections and the way we have used is adds mystery on the main characters behalf.

SCREEN GRABS OF SOUNDTRACK 1

 This screen grab shows what we clicked on to get to the loops we needed to suit the opening sequence. These different types of music we have used are all of a Noir convention, suiting the time period as well as the situation.

 This screen grab show the loops we used to create the sequence of music. All of the sound we will used is original and created on Garageband.

 This screen grab shows the final sequence that we have put together using the loops found under the different genres of music. This is Soundtrack 1 that we will use in our opening sequence.

SOUNDTRACK 1

Theme 1 by Jenhutton This is one of our options for a soundtrack to use in our opening sequence. This was created on Garageband in the 'Jazz' and 'Solo Piano' sections.

FINAL SEQUENCE

This is the final sequence for our opening sequence, all of it has been rendered and ready to compress to quick time.

RENDERING VIDEO

Screen shot of our final cut rendering to this mac. I have rendered each bit of footage as I have gone along, instead of waiting until I have gathered all he bit of footage to make our title sequence and then rendering at the end.

EDITING

An example of editing on final cut when we were deciding on which footage to use in our rough cut.

WANTED POSTER

This is the wanted poster that we are using in our opening sequence to add more mystery and danger to the character of the bad guy. This was created on word using a coffee stain image from Google images.

FILMING

Today we are going to film some footage for our final cut. Luckily the weather forecast says that we are due for rain which is good as it is a convention of film noir!!

SCREEN-GRAB

This is a shot from a previous opening sequence I have done. This is the kind of look that we are aiming for, for our opening sequence.

EDITING

This is a screen-grab of our opening sequence while we were editing. The shot seen at the top part of the screen is the beginning of the opening sequence.

BAD WEATHER

Due to bad weather conditions we cannot reshoot our opening sequence. The reshoot has been postponed until Wednesday 13th March. I could not get to the place where we would be shooting and it was too windy for the sound to be picked up.

ROUGH CUT 1

This is the first rough cut of our opening sequence. This rough cut was noticeably too dark, by brightening it, it would make the footage more grainy, and would make it look like we have paid poor attention to the quality. Therefore we are going to re-shoot on Wednesday 13th March. We are not going to film inside anymore due to the location being too dark. This rough cut was shot at The Studio in Hartlepool.  

RED PINEAPPLE PRODUCTIONS

Our very own original Company Logo. The image was taken from Google Images and then it was edited on Photoshop. I changed the colours but kept the layout and added the writing. The company name 'Red Pineapple Productions' we got from a Name Generator because we couldn't think or agree on a company name.

EDITING

First day of editing our rough cut after filming the day before. With Friday being the deadline we've got a lot of hard work to do.

TEAM MEETING

We have had a team meeting about a re-shoot for our film. as the previous rough cut was too dark, we have decided to redo it again on Monday 11th March. The storyline has been changes slightly. It will be much better.

FIRST DAY OF FILMING

Due to our group having no free time all together to shoot our opening sequence it has been left until today, Monday 4th March, but the majority of filming has been completed so now we can begin to edit :)
