FINISHED!!!!!
It feels so good to be DONE!!! We are so proud of ourselves with everything that we have done, hope we get the grade we deserve!! =]
A quick film we made talking about our finished opening.
Editing sound
This just a screen shot of the editing we had to do to the final edited opening with the sound. It took a bit more time but we eventually got through that little phase and managed to get the sounds all at the right place.
180 Degree rule
When filming two characters the 180 degree rule is used. The whole point of the rule is that it makes sure that characters always have the same left and right position in the scene. If this rule is not carried out it disrupts the scene or disorientates the audience.
Extra Blogging
I just thought since its all coming to an end with the final film opening, i should just say how i think everything went. =]
Well, I think my group has all worked hard together. The editing is on point, the music is all good so is the title sequence. Its been stressful for all of us but we are happy with everything and the last minute filming we did really helped our film we have used all our time limit fully.

Change of title AGAIN
Once again we have had to change our title due to the fact our teachers don't highly approve of it. This however has made us pick a simple title which we all consider as nice to fit to our film. It is called 'Amy'.
After hearing the criticism, Mickey advised us that our title sequence should also be a bit longer, he thought it was too short.

Planning: Two title sequences
My group is doing a discrete opening so i have included to films which use this opening that we are doing and see how alike or different there title sequences are from one another and how it may contribute to my groups one.
1) Se7en
Se7en has been our main influence for our opening. We copied the font of the opening credits and also copying the way they had most on a black background with a small white coloured font. Apart that we also made sure we had the credits in the same order as the credits in 'Se7en'. The shakyness effect we used in our opening credits were also included in our own opening so this film has really been a major influence on our work.
2) Arlington Road
On the other hand we thought as a group that most of our effects used in our opening film using discrete title sequence has really been influenced from Arlington Road. The colour effects and the use of solarize.

Concerns from the rough cut sample
Having showed three of our teachers the rough cut of our film opening, their opinions have varied mainly positive. However there are some concerns such as the length of the film, the genre and the title change.
Time length:
Dan and Usman have both considered our film as short but can be worked with when adding title sequences by extending them. Right now our film is 1min 20 seconds and it is required to be maximum 2 minutes so we have a lot of spare time to use. Whereas Mary agrees with us that we definitely need to go out and film more footage because we have a great film opening but it is just too short. Hence we have decide to film Tuesday morning, tomorrow.
Genre:
Again our genre is meant to be a psychological thriller however our teachers, having watching our rough cut have said that it is becoming a bit out of context of a psychological and looks/has more horror elements making them consider our genre as maybe being a horror thriller. However we have explained our storyline to Mary - which is focused on the girl's disturb and her journey through the mental illness - and she has seen that it can be then said to be a psychological thriller, with some elements of Horror, and so we can stay with this initial genre.
Title Change:
We as a group have decide that we feel to change our title. At first it was called 'Shanelle' but due to changes of the girl and putting the actual name to what we have edited it just did not fit. So we decided it was for the best to change it. Asking Mary for her opinion on this we finally came up with a new name called 'Untarnished'.

Our film New Title: UNTARNISHED
We have decided to rename our film and call it:
UNTARNISHED
Untarnished means not tarnished or discoloured not tainted or spoiled.
We decided to give this our film name because our main character in the film is seen to be guilty in reality but she just has her own perception of reality therefore making her guilty in the eyes of others.
The title of our film has two meanings:
1) Her actions are out of her control which means she is untarnished
2) However because she does not know what she is doing therefore makes her the opposite of our title.

Editing- Title sequence
Today's lesson, Mary told us about using the 'title safe'. This guarantees that no matter what kind of screen our film is played on the titles will not be cut off as long as it is within the first rectangle. This was actually a good thing that she told us this because when we put it on some of our title sequences were out of this rectangle box so we had to quickly change this.
