The Ending.

This is our final cut of our thriller film, The Ending.

Adding titles

In the group, I took on the role of completing the title sequence, I had to decide whereabouts the titles would go in each scene and what effects I think would look best over them. I used the programme final cut, to place in the correct places. At first I had to experiment on the programme so I could get used to using it, but then I started to add the real titles and effects. I thought it was quite tricky at times and if i could do it again i would make sure to take more time and choose different effects.. one of my favourite effects was the bad film, as it made the shots look more like a thriller. I chose to use this all the way through.

Storyboard for our title sequence

In our group we had to create a rough design of our storyboard for our thriller title sequence, we added some more scenes when we were filming as we came up with more ideas..

Timeline

For the final week of finishing our thrillers and blogs we had to make a timeline each in our groups to decide how many hours we were going to spend working on our thrillers before the final deadline.

This is my timeline...

Title Sequence-group meeting

Today, my group re-shot the title sequence making sure that we had all the right equipment and props to make it link in with our film, we used a tray, water, photos, camera, camera bag, police documents, newspaper articles and line&pegs to show that we were developing the photos from the stalker.

We then uploaded the footage to final cut and edited it until it fitted in with our thriller. I then started to add the titles before we ran out of time, so I will finish them in tomorrows lesson. 

Some of the photos we used:

Titles

When our group decided what person would be completing what task, I decided to choose titles as it was new to me and I would learn something new a long the way. I had to go through a tutorial of how to use the programme, After Effects and experiment with it so I knew everything I needed to do in order to get effective titles. I also looked through dafont.com to look for effective fonts for our titles that would link in with our theme of death& photography.
I also looked for possible title animations,
- Flash
-Emerge
-Word flash
These were the only animations that could possibly link in with a camera.

What do we need to do?

In last weeks lesson, we had to have a group meeting and decide what tasks need to be done in order to meet the deadline. We had to make sure we knew what tasks each person was responsible for and when they were going to be done by.
