Journal--- Week 10

This week we mainly focused on blogging and adding the final touches to our sequence and writing our final evaluations for the piece before we start our exam preperation. This will be my las Journal post as it is the final week that we are wroking on our sequences, howevr i'm still going to post the title sequence my thoughts on it and my evaluation.

journal-- Week 9

This week we finished our title sequence, we finished editing it and tidying it up. we are happy with it we made the changes suggested to us and just cleaned up the cuts. we all decided that we were finished editing and we had got to a point where if we added anything else to it that it would not really add anything to the title sequence and would be a waste of time.

Journal-- Week 7

This week we finished editing our first draft of our title sequence and showed it to the class and shaun. They filled out feedback sheets that gave the their opinions on the sequence, i will post the feedback in a later post,  but mostly the feedback was positive although their is a few changes that we have to make. we have to take Clint Eastwood out of our film, but we will replace him with Alan Rickman. We are all reasonably happy with the sequence and after the changes are made we will be happy with what we have  

Journal-- Week 6

This week we continued to edit are title sequence and i think that it is looking good. we are having trouble adding the song to the sequence as it says that we need to update our version of garage band, but apart for that the editing is coming along ok. this week we also filmed that we thought that we were missing.  On the re-shoot it snowed however it was not visible to the people that we showed to the people it was unnoticeable.  This will be our last re-shoot as we are happy with the things we have.

Journal-- Week 4

This week we filmed our title sequence and we planned on starting to edit it. However on Friday, 20th January we filmed our title sequence. the footage seemed fine to us and it looked alright on the camera, however when we uploaded to the macs, it was too dark and the footage was not really visible. so we have decided to re-schedule the shoot, for the Tuesday the 25th of January. This means that we could not begin to edit, we however decided to film our voiceover instead. Once the sequence is shot to an acceptable standard then we can begin to add the affects the song and the voiceover.

Journal--- Week 3

This week we designed and created the production company thuat will appear before our tittle sequence, we also finished and put the final tweaks to our soryboard. we are now basically at the point where we can film the opening sequence, we just need to go out and ge our props soterd but we can do that anytime. the weather is also important for our shoot we preferably need a clear night sky and it can't rain at all, we are filming oustside and with fire so it is hugely important that it does not rain.We chose to film at night as it's a horror film and we feel that vhis will add to the tension of the sequence.

Journal- Week 2

This is the second week of my journal, again i will talk about what i have done this week and what we hope to do. This week we storyboarded our title sequence, and tried to find music for it.We created 14 shots on our storyboard but we also involved camera movements so we are very sure that we can make the title sequence least the minimum of 2 minutes. The storyboard was mainly what we wanted it is completely focused around the theme of fire. we decided on the location of our sequence. we have got to the point where we are nearly at the point where we can film it. we do however still have to find un-copyrighted music to use or if the music is copyrighted we have to right to the company and ask for permission to use it.also we need to find somewhere that we can buy fake scars/burns or find a recipe so that we can make our own as the scars/burns are a hugle important part of our sequence.. finally we will have to find out who would distribute/create our film so that we can put their logo at the start of our title sequnce so that it looks professional.

Journal-Week 1

Starting from this week I will be doing a weekly journal, updating you on what is going on in my group for media coursework. I have decided to start this up at this time as we have just started to create are film  idea that will eventually be made into a title sequence.

This week my group, Ryan Emin, James Mills, Harjinder Chana and me assigned roles that we would be in control of, we decided that we needed to allocate roles so that we all knew what we were doing and were fully prepared. The roles that we assigned ourselves were as follows:
Aaron---Director
Harj---Cameraman
Ryan---Editor
James---Actor.

We were all comfortable with the roles we were given, everyone will know what they are doing when we come to filming and in the long run this will save us time.

The film's title will be Damien, as described in a previous post along with are title sequence idea. My next post will be the powerpoint presentation that we used to pitch to the class that will go more in depth about the film, the people who will star in it, and who will direct it.
