Udates 26/4/12

My Film is completely finished and i am now just finishing my write-up and evaluation.

Final Film 26/3/12

My final film is quite different from my original plan...
i have the main walking sequence that i had in my digital story board however everything else on my digital story board i scrapped.

21/3/2012 Completion of movie titles/opening:

Today i have made the finishing touches to my film opening and have adjusted the opacity in my titles creating fading effects on them. Last week i also composed a piece of music using garage band a a key board and created a piece that i though would be well suited to the realism of my opening, and the piece of music works well with my movie. My movie opening now comes in at just under 1min 30sec.

Update: 6/3/2012

I have finnished the editing of my film opening and have added music and edited the diagetic sounds. I know have to just finnish adding the rest of my titles and change the fonts and maybe adding effects.

Extension to film opening.

As my film opening is too short i have had to come up with an idea for a 30 second addition to the film opening.

Plan:

I will get an extreme close up of Matilda's eyes and then through that try and then creat the idea of a flash back in which i will just have Matilda and Matt walking in the park or something like that.

I will film this in the half term break.

Updates: 6/1/12

I have completed the editing of my footage, and i am quite happy with the turn out. i have a range of different shots such as some high angle and birds eye shots which i am very happy with. I have added about 5 titles to the footage so far, and will be adding more within the next few lessons of this week.

The footage i have at the moment adds up to around 1 minute 15 seconds and so i am going to have to come up with and idea to extend my film opening to about 1 minute 45 seconds as even though the specification allows anything under 2 minutes i think 1 minute 15 seconds is probably that little bit to short.

i will be filming this new footage in the half term break ready to add to and complete my film just after the holiday.

Progress: 31/1/12

Yesterday i began work on editing my footage. I didn't find it too difficult however i did find it a bit fiddley to begin with but after a while i got the hang of it. over todays lesson and yesterdays lesson i have managed to get the majority of my editing done. Most of the footage i got was usable there was only a couple of shots that had slight continuity errors like walking through a different door into the sweet shop or walking in a completely different bit of the pavement. so i tried my best to avoid using these shots i hope to be finished editing and begin adding my titles by tomorrow :)
