Todays Activity

Today we did the recording of the phone call. This has gone successfully and we are going to import our recording into our final cut film so that we would have finished with that part of the film. We have today been alerted that we have to have our thriller finished by the end of Wednesdays lesson and we have a bit of work left to do but with no delays we should be able to have our thriller completely finished by the end Wednesday. We still have to shorted our film by about half a minute and just neaten up the soundtrack so we should be fine and able to reach the deadline.

Thriller Rough Cut Complete


This our thriller rough cut that is not yet completed but we've done most the work on it there are just a few things left to add.

Our Rough Cut

We have basically finished our rough cut deadline though we are missing a sound of a decent gun shot and the police man on the phone. We have edited our footage but the problem is overall it is 3 and a half minutes long so were going to have to fix that this lesson as the limit is about 2:30 minutes and we are gonna struggle to make that.

Phone Call Script

We are planning to include a phone call in out film so we are going to film that outside of the film and then put it in. We are now making a script for that phone call now:
A police will be the person on the phone, warning Daniel about the consequences of his open blog on murderers.
"Daniel, this is Lloyd, the chief of police, i need to speak to you about your 'blog'. You're creating problems for yourself that you just can't handle alone so you need to take your blog off the web, and if you don't, the police will have to take action. The people you're accusing are bad men and you're just provoking them so for your own good, please take down the blog..... An emergency has just struck up here so I'll have to go, I'll try and ring later and just remember Daniel, be careful..... *phone hangs up*"

Plan For Today

We have decided after our previous filming on Monday we are now going to capture all our work and we are going to begin editing and we are going to work on the sound of our film as well so to be prepared as well as possible for a draft in for Monday. We think we are going to focus on the editing as we think it is more important and we both have different ideas for the music so we need to talk together to discover new plan for sound that we both agree with. We have both decided on a both a slow and fast-paced editing for a nice clean effect for both the fear and the suspense of the film. We believe we have filmed everything necessary for our film so we will not need to film again because we have all the footage required.

Credits

We have got to different ideas for our credits that were still thinking about, one is having plain credits with white text and a black background swapping from the credits to the movie. Our other plan is too play the movie and the credits simultaneously overlapping each other, we will be using white text for this idea to highlight the credits as we filmed most of the movie in the dark. This is the making of one idea:

This is a little mock up of one idea for credits we have used an effect called typewriter which writes the credits in one letter at a time. I think that this is a good effect and we may use this effect for our credits the effect is to put in our credits running simultaneously with our film.
Example of credits with the film:



These ideas are still under consideration and we may think about changing the ideas for our credits but at the moment the filming and the editing and making the soundtrack is much more important than this at the moment.
These are a full list of our credits:
  • A production by LeNoblePittuck
  • Cinematography by Dominic Noble and Stephen Pittuck
  • Editing by Dominic Noble and Stephen Pittuck
  • Sound by Dominic Noble and Stephen Pittuck
  • Director Dominic Noble
  • Starring Dominic Noble and Stephen Pittuck
We will include our ident in the credits to show the production companies logo so they can maybe recognize the company.
