Dead Line

As our dead line is approaching I personally have realised that there are some problems we may face. As our male antagonist wasn't able to film last week we are having to do some last minute filming tonight only 3 days before our deadline! Now if we don't get these shot correct this time, we may not be able to re-film causing our intro to not be as good as its potential. 

However thanks to Connors Blog, we have a check list so we shouldn't miss any shots however we must make sure that we get many shots so we have a lot of different choses and that hopefully we will get the shots we need. 

Check List

Some of our shots we need to re-shot as sometimes we have accidentally cut both our protagonist and antagonist out of the frame. also we haven't followed the rule of thirds and have marginalised our protagonist which will send the wrong message to our audience.

Connor has made this list on his blog: 





















This is a brilliant idea of Connors! As a group, we can now all see what we have done and what we still need to do which will help us know how far behind we are and also so we don't forget anything. By Connor making this check list on his blog all four of us can all look at the same list easily so we all know what point we are at. 

Colour correction

As a group we all realised that lighting was different in many shots. Sometimes the lighting was to bright others it was to dark. Connor and I spent sometime going through the really dark shout and changing the colour levels to make it all one colour. Also we want our piece to look mysterious so we needed to make the extra bright shots darker to go with our theme.

This is was our turn out: 


Title sequences

Hannah and Harriet were looking at some titles trying to figure out which style was the most suitable for our genre.

here are some of the styles of font they found:





As group we wanted to make sure our titles included of black font on a white background. 
Preferable we would like our font to be Calligraphy which is basically italic fancy font. 

Filming Day Two

Once we had put together our first cut we realised that there were many shots we missed. Mostly the shots were in the kitchen of the protagonist walking towards the knife rack. These shots we had to make sure they looked effective as this is the point of the intro where the audience establishes who the real protagonist is.
