In todays lesson we created a questionnaire and are going to screen our title sequence and ask for feed back on the title sequence, we also uploaded screen shots of the editing process.  Now we are just doing finishing touches on our blogs! :) xx

Screenshots of Editing!



These are a few screenshots we took while we were editing our footage.

After filming the footage we had to upload everything that we had on the camera so we could then decide what parts of the footage we wanted to keep. This was done by attaching the video camera to the macs via a usb cable and then importing all the footage.


The first thing that we decided to do was to upload our film distributer , we decided to add this on to our title sequence to make it look more authentic and we decided that LIONSGATE was a distributer that would fit with our film as it haas done many other horror/thriller films.

We decided after picking the font that we wanted that we wanted it to jump quickly around the page, we didn't want this to be too drastic but just slight movements. We did this by first of all having to download the font that we wanted and then cutting the sequence up into little pieces and then moving the text a little bit on each one. We done this because it felt and looked deranged just like our main character.

This is our Production logo that was designed, we felt that this wasn't to heavy and bold but felt light and had a sense of ease towards it, which i feel does not give to much away about our film.
We decided that we wanted to fade in and fade out some shots so that it didn't look as harsh and flows a lot better within the sequence.

This is were we was editing footage that we had filmed.

This is also editing the footage we had filmed.

This is when we uploaded the music that we chose for our title sequence.  We spent along time choosing the music as we felt it was a big part in setting the scene in the title sequence so we wanted to make sure that we got it right.
This is the screenshot of when our title sequence was completely finished :)  

Audience Response Questionnaire


We have decided to screen our title sequence and give out a questionnaire to receive some feed back from people about how effective our title sequence is.

Final Typography!


This was the font that we decided to use for our title sequence, we found this certain font on a website called Picnik. We then downloaded the font so it was on the macs so it was easier to use. We found that this font worked well with our title sequence as it looks good in white on a black background and is bold. We feel that this font represents the stalker/kidnapper within our a film as the font has bits coming off of it with which relate to decaying like our character who has a sense of decaying mentally.

Final Chosen Soundtrack!!

This is the song that we decided to use as our soundtrack: 

Music Research

Finding music for a title sequence is very important, it cant be to over powering and too much of a cliche. We found finding the right music really difficult and it took us a good few weeks to actually find the right music. We went on audio.lgfl website and started listening to various different types of music. We decided that we wanted some sort of classical music as it gives a sense of suspicion. Some of the songs that we found it did not feel like it went with our title sequence. After listening to many we found that violins within the music sets the right atmosphere  and after much consideration we finally found our music!!


These are a few of the songs that we were considering: 
Track one- Cold city
Track two- In Memoriam
Track three- Three -Hell's Harp

In todays lesson we watched a couple of film title sequences with the class and discussed them. After that we then want on to the macs to find our music. We Finally found some!! The music is not to over powering and fits in the appropriate genre of thriller/horror. We then put on the music and a couple of the other groups in our class including us then showed our title sequences to the class and got some feed back. Our feedback was that they suggested that we faded out titles in and out which we have decided to do next lesson!! :) xx
