GROUP: First Shoot evaluation.
  • This week was tricky to film as we did not have an actors and also Connor was unable to be there on the night. We managed to create the bullet shell hitting the floor in Adobe After Effects and piece together some of our footage in Adobe Premiere Pro that has certain effects the school computers don't, that we want in out final opening.
  • As the Track was booked out this weekend and therefore we we were unable to use it for our shoot, we had to make our own to get the same effect on your shots. Here is a quick video showing the track we made to use for some of our shots.
  • We managed to get the bullet shell casing shot done
  • The shot at the beginning of our opening of the street at night as the gunshot sounds
  • Small parts of the montage edit with tracking shots along the desk
  • This will allow us to integrate the shots we did this weekend with the shots of next weekends shoot when we have actors.
  • When asking a member of our target audience, they were puzzled as to why the gun shot goes off when an empty street is shown. They positioned themselves with the street as the place where the murder happens as the gun shot sounds then, however this is not the effect we want to give off and this helped us think in detail about what we want to show to the audience, when and why.
  • We have now deciced to slightly change our storyboard and now the scene will start off small montage of the antagonist walking along and pulling out the gun, as soon as the gun is identifiable by the audience and the streetlamp light hits its metal surface the clip will cut as a gunshot sounds and echoes. It will then fade into the street shot at night for few seconds before cutting to the bullet shell hitting the floor and the lords prayer narration will start.

    Update: 6/3/12
  • We finished editing our first attempt at a fast paced montage edit for the second half of the opening. Here is the final product. We are extremely happy with it and think it could really work well in our final final edit.
