[Group] Current status of Coursework

Sound

Richard emailed Sony regarding using the track "Reson is Treason" by Kasabian, which we decided fits well with the theme of our genre and the pace of our cutting. The song can be heard on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfuT1VUKARk (from 0:08)

Title and Fonts

Richard also found a new font to use for the title on the opening and has started modifying and editing the font in Premier to make it more visually appealing and fit into the title sequence. We've chosen to use the sound piece from the last post (RO - Sound, 16 March 2010) to put together with the titles as they fade onto the screen.

Future Shoots

We've planned out all missing shots and things we want to reshoot and have organized the order and times we want to shoot them in. New locations have been thought of that will make the opening more interesting and we hope to include a few shots we haven't used yet to keep the piece from becoming boring. After discussion with our teachers we've fully organized everything we need to do and everywhere we have to go to completre shooting and have the footage ready for editing in time to meet the deadline.

RO - Sound

i am thinking of createing my own soundtrack to stop wierd loops that just sound the same, so i am thinking of using cubase 4 to create different effects through the soundtrack to keep it "Alive".

[RG] Shoot 13/3/10

Originally we planned to shoot on Friday but had to wait till the next day because of the weather. We met up at a time we felt would provide the right light but still would lack people walking around the could ruin our shots. We filmed all the major shots off our storyboard of the running sequence but were unable to shoot our "passer by" shots as no one was available to give us a hand. We will return to the location to film these shots during the week or at the weekend.

Location: Otford
Equipment used: Camera, Tripod

The tripod was used for most of the shots to achieve effective panning and steady-cam shots. When shooting I had to consider the rule of thirds and how visualy noisy the cars cars make the shot.

Preliminary Task

We set out to film a chase sequence through continuity editing,

The continuity editing was a success but we would like to improve the quality of the camera work and the fluent movement between the shots
