My Journal

After feedback we realised some of the aspects of our title sequence were not quite right, for example the beginning credit was 'Directed By Maddie Carragher' and the first credit was supposed to be 'A film by Maddie Carragher' we changed this and made the beginning part with the distributor slightly shorter as before it was 12 seconds long. We moved the voice over from right at the end of the sequence to just before the music ends - this makes it sound more professional.

We've just been adding to the finishing touches of our project recently, for the first time since it had all been  put together we let shaun see it, he advised us to change the music and add some bits.

Journal - audience feedback 2

We have put the video up on facebook to be given feedback from and so far we have had some likes but no responses, we will repost at a later date if no comments are made and I will be uploading it to tumblr and vimeo for more audience feedback.

Ideas for Distributor

sony are quite an interesting choice of distributor that we are looking into. Films they have produced that could be seen as slightly similar to ours are:

a film that very much relates to our idea.

Possible Distributors

Lionsgate is a possible distributor that we are looking at from it's previous films such as 'saw' and other films that have some of the same themes as our thriller has.

Ideas

We were talking about typography last week and I had the idea of having the words of Enigma disappearing or appearing one by one to go in with the missing element of the film. One of our group members has done exactly this and is working on making the rest of the titles to suit our title sequence well.

Today we are exporting the video as many times as we can once we have cut it because final cut wont let us view the actual video, this makes the process of us editing our video a lot harder than it would be for everyone that is able to use final cut as I have to export it see what is not tight enough, go back to final cut and estimate where I should cut it based on the export, then I have to export it again which takes another 5 minutes and then I have to go back and repeat until it's all done. The music is finally on the video and works really well, even better than we expected and the credits are just being finished then they will be put on the video. Even though the macs are slow we're all working really hard to get as much done as we can today.
