Evaluation Question 5


Designing And Making An Ident

Our ident was made using premier pro we took an image from Google of the evolution of the human being and decided to call it Stone Age Studios. we took a sound effect of a monkey screaming and used it as background noise, so when the film starts if the viewer is not pay attention the loud disorientating sound will catch the attention of the viewer. we used the name Stone Age Studios as the thought as the picture show the evolution of the human and it starts at the Stone Age we thought it went well.

Animatic for The Collection

First Draft/Evaluation


This is the first draft of are thriller opening. There are many things wrong with this first draft, we had to take some things out and replace them with some other clips. For example in this draft you do not see the scene where jack walks down the stairs and steps on the glass we added this as we wanted to build up the integration scene. we also decided to add the shots of jacks phone to see who he was talking to, which happen to be a mysterious man named Rodriguez. finally we added a scene where Danny is watching the exchange of the envelope so the audience knows how jack knew about jack having the envelope in the first place.

Storyboard

In this we have got a collection of pictures used in this storyboard for the film we are going to make.












First day of Filming

In the first day of filming we have chosen the location, its in the cellar pub this is where the victim is tortured, on our first day of filming we have successfully finished the whole film, this is because how much time we have spent filming. Furthermore, during the first day of filming we have gone from the celler of the pub to near an alley way where the package is then dropped off to Joey. We have spent a lot of time and effort into making this film and after we shall hope to get all of the editing finished ready to view and make sure it's all up to date and in check.

Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation Question 1

Third Production Meeting

In this part of the production, we have finished the film and we're just looking at the film making sure everything was to its best level, furthermore we were also deciding on how to edit the film and what parts we need to cut out of the film and what parts we should leave on.
During the third production stage we also decided whether we should leave the film ending as that or change it around.  We decided to keep it the same because we think it will look better.



In this picture we was watching out film, making sure everything was good. We all agreed that our picture was decent and there was nothing that had to be changed. Apart from a few edits we all likes the film.

Editing 1

Today Ayush and James have finished the editing of the film, during the edit they have cut out all the swearing and all the scenes where something hasn't gone too right. The editing was the hardest bit of the film this is because me and James are not very good with the technology but as time carries on we shall get better. Even though the editing didn't take so long Ayush and James agree that the film is looking really well.




In this Ayush and James were editing the film, it took them a while trying to get rid of all the bad scenes. During this they also made the studio idents for the film.
