Final Film Opening

This is our final film opening after many troubles with timing we finally were able to cut it down to the correct length and still have it make sense and flow poprerly

Camera

This is a Canon Power Shot digital camera, films in HD up to 4 hours and everything is held on a memory card. From experience the filming quality is amazing. I have used it at concerts and the sound is also incredible. Battery powered. It is able to be placed on a school tripod.

This camera can zoom in a long way so small objects can get good close ups. Even zooms are good quality. 

Editing

Overall

The overall editing went well as a lot of the shots were easy enough to edit. The editing was done on a mac book pro. Most of the editing was done by me although some aspects were contributed by the rest of my group. 

What went well when editing: 

1. It was easy to be able to get it too look how we wanted it too look, with the framing and sequencing of the shots
2. With our shots they had enough extra filming around it to play around with it
3. There were some really good places to insert the credits like the tie and the fridge shots

What was difficult when editing: 

1. When I did the first edit of the whole opening it was 3 and a half minutes long meaning it was over by 1 minute 
2. Talking to the others it was hard to decide what we would cut, was by this stage we didn't have anything except the content of the opening edited together, however we decided to cut the first section with the police cars and Robbie running through the door. We also changed where we would have the voice over.
3. The colour in some of the shots didn't work too well as we filmed part of it during the day and part in the evening, however now we are not using that bit we don't need to use the parts where the dark was necessary. 
4. This was able to be changed as I remembered we had filmed this section again but during the day
   
   
    
   
   
   

Creating the Production Name Animation

It has taken a long time to come up with what we were going to use for the animation at the start of our opening. At first we wanted the words 'Scratch Productions' to come up then the three scratch marks to go through it with the sound effect of someone being scratched. However this turned out to be virtually impossible as it tried so many different animation applications and i couldn't work out how to do it. In the end I came up with the idea of using a time lapse of the sky. This was done on my iPhone using the time lapse setting on the camera. Luckily the day I did this it was cloudy and wasn't raining. I then Watched many youtube tutorials and messed around in iMovie to work out how to ayer an image on top of a video. The finished thing is the video with the image layered on top using the green screen setting within iMovie. I think that it turned out really well.

How we thought of our characters

This is a presentation Faith made of the research taken to create the best possible characters.
