Trial and Error - Final Video

This is our final version of our media coursework. As a group, we believe the piece worked out better than planned and worked well as a team to create an opening sequence. 

   At some points, filming was wobbly and in points doesn't look very professional, however we tried our best to maintain the steady focus through all the shots. During the editing process, disagreements happened and we struggled to decide the order of our sequence, but in the end we worked it out and figured out a decent order.

When editing our shots it took us a while to figure out what went well together as we weren't sure at first. We were able to make some of the wobbly shots fit in with the sequence and we are pleased with our final piece.

The music we used went well with our filming as the timing of the music fitted with the timing of the filming sequence , we adjusted the music in order to fit in with the sequence, as when the training starts the music kicks in . This also helps create the pace with our project as the music is fast paced and upbeat .

Overall we are very pleased with our performance and our teamwork with each other as we together learnt that we must work together and put in the full time and show full dedication to the project in order to create a substantial and well created opening sequence.

FINISHED!!

Today we have finished our opening sequence.

We edited a few clips and changed a few of them to fit in with the track and make the whole thing look good.

We are pleased with our opening sequence and have done our best to make a good opening sequence.

Editing 18/1/09

Today we were slightly concerned as we didnt think we would get any more film footage than our 1:29 seconds, so we put our titles over black which gave us the minimal 2 minutes of film that we needed. Also it added a lot of effect and a sense of professionilism. We now have our finished product and are just tinkering with the clips to get everything to fit in with the track.

Title sequence order

Now that editing is almost complete, we have started making a list of the titles that will appear on our sequence and the order they will appear.

We have decided that our titles will appear over the top of our film rather than on a black screen as it will fit in better with the genre we have chosen.

We have yet still to choose a name for our production company and choose a distribution company name to add to our sequence.

Editing

We began editing once we had found our track. We have edited the shots to fit in with the music and have most of it complete.

However, we still need a few extra shots to make our sequence better and make it longer for the required 2 minutes.

Music

We looked on numerous websites to find a copyright free soundtrack to use for our opening sequence. 

We were unable to find a track that we liked and that we thought fit in with the genre of film we are making. 

In the end we found a track on a CD that was perfect for our sequence. We could now begin editing the sequence to the music.

Filming

We started filming on December 8th. It took us about 2 weeks to film all we needed for us to begin editing. 

We filmed in corporation park, at St.Mary's College and at Ashley's house to get all the shots we needed for our opening sequence. Although we have different weathers in our shots such as snow,rain and sun, we have still been able to link the shots together for our opening sequence.
