creation of soundtrack

Today i was making the backing track to our clip 'on the run' i had a lot of fun playing around with the sounds and making a tense and thrilling track i found it much easier to use the program this time round.

The picture below shows how we made the sounds louder or quieter than one another and it was very effective, it made the track sound much more thrilling because the sounds that sounded more effective were louder and the ones that added that extra tension were a bit quieter , i added bell sounds for that little bit of than edge.

The picture below is a screen shot of some of the sounds that we used which sound very well and fit in completely with our clip

analysis of 9 shots from art of the title sequence

The style of the titles themselves are shown drenched in blood, they appear in a normal san serif text then blood appears to sweep the text away as if someone blowing through a straw. the sequences are shown after a slight glance of the zombies, this timing makes the the title sequence look more thrilling as the audience will not know what might might pop up after the text has shown. the style of the title is set up by the importance of the letters, 'Dawn and Dead" are shown in big bold letters which indicates what the film is about, down indicates dark and dead creates suspense and thriller

First day of filming

Our first day of filming was, i feel, a huge success.

In 4 hours we were able to get a lot of footage filmed to flesh out our whole film in rough on friday ( the 5th ) as per our production schedule, with very few problems save our fingers being too cold to pack away the equipment at the end! We were really happy with the weather conditions, the solid cloudy sky meant there was plenty of light without us worrying about the atmosphere being overly bright and providing us with a lower chance of producing continuity errors next time we film, since it's the season for cloudy weather.

I enjoyed filming and from panning through trees to high angles over bridges, between us we got a variety of great shots! Well done team :)

Storyboard

As a group we developed this story board. We sat down as a group and disgusted how we wanted the story to unfold. Along side the frame is the notes of what we disgusted and come up with. Holly kindly drew up the story board for the group : ) On the notes it included the specific shot types and the other important effects we decided we wanted to use. Some of the things we have wrote in the story board may not have been what we did for the actual opening thriller however where slightly the same such as the 'puddle' splash instead we did the phone being thrown into the canal and that splash.

Storyboard

After spending time together as a group developing our ideas and discussing how we want the story to unfold, talking about some of the techniques we want to use, i drew up this storyboard. I included notes along side the frame mentioning specific shot types and other important effects we wanted to achieve, however we will have to allow for changes during filming. It wasn't practical to draw out all the shot's we want to achieve but it should give you an impression of what we're aiming for!

Art Of The Title Sequence

i have choosen to look at 'Coraline'. The images caught my attention. it looks a little creepy and unstable. You can tell something is not right by the images on this sequence and the way the doll is being used. At the start the titles are bold lettering what looks asif the writting is field with loads of stitching from cotten. The way the titles flash out to the next one is effective. And the music starts kicking in. When the button flies in it shows effect to the sequence this you can tell is a important part to it. Due to the zoom on this button and the way it lands. More names appear and the sound starts getting a little more echoey as the names are flashing up. Once the screen goes black and we see the doll turning and flying in we then see some sort of hands pulling the doll towards the camera we start to wonder whats going on. More titles appear as the doll is being taken to a table where its then places onto some sort of fold out sewing kit. The sequence uses a extream zoom on the pin and the dolls back. Then we see some scissors cutting up the back of the doll and hear the cutting sound this shows a effect on the sequence and made me wonder what is happening to this doll. The pin hand starts undewing all the hair on the doll which at this time i started wondering why it was re-doing this doll up the way it was and why the pins where in shape of a pair of hands.Once again the camera goes for a extreme zoom on undewing the stitching and shows the little bits of cotton left on the dolls head.When the doll get turned upside down and turned inside out i was at first a little freeked, In the background you can hear in the music a little girl singing. with the slow motion effect on the doll being stitched up adds effect aswell. A Big draw of buttons come out and i from that know that it has to be a important part of the doll because the hand takes ages to decide what button to chose. we once again see a extream close up on the buttons being stitched onto the eyes. Once the machian finishes stitching the doll up we see it fly back out the window this shows me that the doll has had a massive change and that the buttons obviously play a important part in this film.When window shuts and we see a house i think that something bad will happen to do with this doll and the house that we see at the end of the sequence.

The information that we see within the sequence includeds is things such as the The cast, costume designers, editors But the final text ends with the information of who directed 'coraline'. All the times the text come in at the start is the same with a black background fading into the writting however as the sequence goes on the text is white and on the side of the picture of the doll being recked then re-stitched.
