Feed Back Of Our Animatic

The feedback that we recieved back about our animatic was good and constructive as it enabled us to look at what we had storyboarded in a beneficial way. The comments that were made about our Animatic were that sometimes it became hard to follow through with what the opening to the film was about therefore we came up with the solution of adding one or two more shots so that it will be more understandble to our audience, another comment made was that we should not have had our title of the film placed at the start straight away as it follows a very traditional method used in films so we have now decided to have a shot of a scene at the start and than gradually have the title of the film in the middle. One more comment about our Animatic that was raised was that one of the sounds we used didnt quite go with the shot displayed therefore we are in the process of finding a contempory sound that fits however those looking at our Animatic did say that they knew from the other sounds placed in our Animatic did fit nicely with what the scene/shot was portraying.

Breakdown Sheet For Week 1 - Filming

This is our Brakdown Sheet for Week 1 of Filming our Film

Time Line

The timeline from the film Sev7en showed a different angle to (normal) opening credits as most would start with the title (a common thing to start with) this sequence did not as in the first few seconds the production company name was shown (newline cinema production company)  followed by who the film was by (A film by David Fincher) and the actors in it (Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow).



Half way through about 23 seconds into the sequence the title of the film was shown (Sev7en) this gives the film an edge of origniality and uniquness as it didnt follow tradition which is a good way fo grabbing the audience from the start.

The title sequence also had different writing styles as the words appeared they where in a unsual style of font and was positioned in various ways the use of shaking the words as they appeared on and than off the screen caused the sense of disturbance which adds to the difference of the opening.

Prelium Task

Our Prelium task was to made up of several components all based around a story and setting what myself and group members came up with was a unusual child/teacher relationship.

We set it in a classroom however this came with its problems as we had to use one or two class rooms to shoot in due to the fact that we where filming n school tiem so this made it slightly difficult to remember what shot we had done in the previous room and what shot we should continue from in the next.

We also worked to a time schedule and had to make sure our films where in the editing process at an exact time creating us time consuming problems as we had to make sure we stuck to the task aswell as making sure we had everything in on time.

Once we had finished filming we than went onto edidting this was alot of fun for me and my partner however it did coemwith more issues as we had to make sure we where cutting and adding the right content we wanted and it was even more trickier as we had to learn how to make our short clip run smoothly instead of jumping uneasiely from one clip to another this meant that we had to look into finer detail of what we were doing.

When we had finished edidting it was time to look at our short clip and try and scan through what looked good and what didnt quite work luckily we had added transitions that helped sort out our jumping from clip to clip problem but our main issue was how to make the ending of the clip not look rushed and rough therefore we played around with further transisitons and used "Fade to Black" which effortlessly made the film look more efficient as it didnt end so abrut.

The camera work displayed through the clip was good but sometimes it was difficult to work out what shot was being used therefore this made us think about for future reference that we should plan and take care of what shots we would be using.
