Extra addition to our project

the outtakes of our film for fun

updates

Today I will be editing together the final cut of our film.
We filmed the last scenes on Tuesday and our project is due in
next wednesday. My main aim for today is to edit for 2 hours and hopefully
that will be the final touch to our film.
If needs be we can do a last minute editing session next week during a lesson or in
a free period.
The upload process takes up to half an hour which can be quite lengthy so it is lucky I have
3 periods free.

Script update

we haven't filmed the interview scene yet but we thought that the script was too long for the scene and that some of the dialogue was unnecessary. this is our new shortened version:
Interviewer: So you were spotted outside one stop at 7:03pm. Had you seen Nadine earlier in the day?
Kate: Yes. I was supposed to meet her at 6.30 but she didn’t meet me till 6.45 because she’d just had an argument with her boyfriend.
---
Interviewer: People said they heard raised voices, shouting and then screams. You were then shortly spotted outside one stop. (Looks down at papers) The body was found at 8:00pm (looks back up), and passer-by identified the suspect with a description matching yours.
Kate: Well I was already home by then. My next door neighbour had to press the buzzer to let me i…

*knock knock*
-assistant walks in-

Assistant: I have your, uh, papers and you have an urgent message.
Interviewer:  Just leave them on the desk. This won’t take long.

Music update

we have been editing our opening and have come to the decision that we no longer want to use the music we are currently using and are changing it to a non-copyright piece found on audio network.

half term and cancellations

we have just returned from half term, we were unable to complete any filming due to cast and facilities we need to use, our filming is scheduled for next wednesday but we will have to wait and see as it is based on the availability of cast.

we were meant to be filming today but this also got cancelled due to short notice. Today we have been editing which is going really well.

title sequences

or our 2 minute opening we will be including the opening titles. i have looked at various films with similar and disimilar genres and the order which their titles appear, for how long they appear and how they appear; do they fade in? Obviously we don't need to think about this until editing but i thought it would be a good idea to know what is best and so that we know what we are doing and so we can combine this with our filming in case we need to extend a shot.
Here are the films i looked at and the ways in which the titles were presented.
