Production Blog Entry 3

The rest of our shots that we needed have now been filmed and all of the extras that are needed for an opening sequence are pretty much completed, meaning that our opening sequence is very much so completed, leaving just a few final touches to just be added in until we can say that our film opening sequence is completely finished. At this stage i can say that i am pleased with the outcome and i am confident that as a group we can achieve a good grade as it looks professional and you can tell what the genre of the film is supposed to be.

Adding in the extras such as titles, credits and music was no that hard to do, but we still needed it to look good and fit in with the Genre of the film, so quite a bit of time was spent on adding these in with different effects, texts and colours.I feel that these extras  ended up looking nice as there was better fonts downloaded from "dafont.com" which were embedded into the clip as well as different backgrounds which brought out fonts and colours more. There were some effects which were originally put in, but they were eventually taken out because they didn't really look that good. The editing on final cut was not that hard as i originally expected it would, but it was time consuming as there is simply so many different things that you can add in, but i wouldn't say that this meant we didn't manage our  time well, we may well could have spent more time out filming, but this doesn't exactlly mean that the practical work would have been any better.

 I think that personally i could have contributed more to the group on a lot fronts and this will most likely give me a lower grade then i could have got. This of course is a downfall and something i am disappointed  in. But overall i think i did quite well and i am still confident that i will be able to get a good overall grade.  Personally my own time management was generally good and i will be able to get all of my blog completed for the deadline.

From the feedback we have received from teachers and peers, the general view is that  the opening sequence is good and it is something different from ones that they have seen before. They understood what the genre was alot of people said it was quite. I am happy with feedback like this and it makes me hopeful that we can get a high grade for the opening sequence alone. When we was stuck for ideas on what different shots we should film, our teacher gave us suggestions on what shots we should try and include, we took her feedback on board and included some of the shots that she suggested to us.

Overall i am happy with the outcome of the opening sequence and i am confident that we can achieve a high grade for it.
