Titles 2

After being told that we should change our title font, Megan and I went straight onto da.font.com to look at new fonts. We put "hand written" into the search bar as we knew what type of font we wanted and we wanted to narrow it down. We looked through all of the fonts that they hand and decided that this one would be the best because it still looks like a child's handwriting but it is easier to read than the last one and as well as this it is quiet bold so it will stand out better on the screen.

Thursday 10th February
During todays lesson, for the first hour we put the finishing touches onto our title sequence, we concentrated on the music as all of the editing had been done.
During the second hour of the lesson we watched everyones Title Sequences and gave them feedback. We did not have time during that hour to watch everyones finished title sequence and our group and one others did not get seen. In our lesson on Tuesday we will get our feedback from our teacher as well as our class mates.

Monday 14th February
Today we got feed back from one of the Media teachers and one the media technicians. We had been told that we was there favourite title sequence from our class and we had the least improving to do. We was told that we should cut the universal clip at the beginning as this is too long at 20 seconds. AS well as this we was told that we should change the font of the titles that have the cast and producers names etc, as a different font would have a better impact and it needs to be bigger and clearer so that it is easier to see, as well as lengthening the time that they appear on screen. Another improvement that needs to be made to the jump cuts as this does not work, it just looks like we are missing a shot.
The points that they did like was the shaddow at the end, the use different shots and the use of the static shot. As well as this she liked that we made our own music on garage band.

Now we have our feedback from our teachers, we are going to improve our title sequence so that it will be ready for tomorrows lesson. We have already started to look at other fonts on dafont.com to put onto our title sequence as well as making sure we don't have the jumpy cuts out.

Final Cut!

Universal




This is the production Logo that we are using at the beginning of our title sequence as universal is the distributor that we have chosen for out film. As well as this, by adding the production company logo before the beginning of the film will help to add will suspension as well as making it look more.

Monday 7th February
Today we put the soundtrack to The Omen on to our footage to see how it worked as this is what we decided we would base our music on, and because Megan was not in, so we did not have the music that she had been making at home on her mac.
As well as this Laura and I played around with the footage and changed some of the transitions to make some shots flow better, as well as adding a fade out to the end so that as the shadow moves across the screen, the shot will fade out as it reaches the end of the screen.
We are all pleased with the work that we have done and the shots that we have, as well as the way that the title sequence flows with the music.

Tuesday 8th February
Today Megan brought in her mac and we uploaded the music to our finished title sequence. After watching it we agreed that at the beginning of the music it needs to be more lively to grab the audiences attention. Now we are all working together to make the music better and to see where improvements are needed.
Both sets of music that we have used with our title sequence defiantly work  well with the footage that we have used, and draws the audience in even more, as it makes title sequence have a more eerie feel to this, as well as the music building up first before the title "Walking with the dead" appears and again when the scene changes from Harry walking around the house, to sitting in his bedroom.

Title Sequence



This is our title sequence, which is nearly done apart from the music. We have no put in all of the titles as, and we have all of our footage edited. For now we have put in the music from The Omen, as this is what we based our own music on that Megan has been making at home on our own Mac. We have based out music this because we like the eerie child like feel that it gives to our title sequence, and this also links into the theme of our "film" as it is based around children and there imaginary friends. As well as this, we all agreed that we like the way the music would build up before the title of our film appears on screen, this gives it a dramatic edge.

Sample Music

This is the music that Amy found on a royalty free website that we could use on a title sequence if Megan making it on Garageband did not work out in the way that we wanted. We are also going to use this music to help us to make out own final cut of music on garage band.
