The Eighth Meeting! :)

Today we went through our footage and changed the brightness and contrast in some of the shots. At points this was tricky as the contrast had to be adjusted at the same time. In some shots we adjusted the light to create a smoky scene because of the candle that features in the film. 
We also started using 'LiveType' to create more creative and original titles and credits. We wanted to have spooky titles to fit in with the genre of our opening.  
We watched the opening of the movie 'Seven' to see what kind of titles we should add and looked at the order in which they appeared :) 

The Seventh Meeting! :)

This week we have been thinking about adding title sequences.  Our teacher watched our opening sequence again this week and suggested that in some places we could add some titles to cover up jumps within the filming that had appeared through editing. 
She was impressed with our progress, however she wants us to go through the editing again to perfect slight jumps within the footage. Our teacher also suggested to be more creative on title design and to make it look more effective in matching our genre of film. 
We have been spending time playing around with the programme 'LiveType' to see what effects they have that we could add to our titles. :) 

The Sixth Meeting! :)

This week are still editing the film opening and certain scenes and shots are proving quite challenging in perfecting. Although we have now finished the complete rough edit there is still a lot of detailed editing to do. 

The First Meeting! :)

This week we discussed  location, equipment and character.  We decided that we are filming both outdoors and indoors. We also decided that our opening sequence would be filmed at my house! :)
