Editing day 5

On this day I had got my fonts and all I had to do was to type the credits but the problem that occurred was that the font was fine but it needed to be altered with, so what I did was I went on the setting of the text and changed the colour changed the effects to make it more of a horror font. I had to do that on both of the fonts so that they both look more of a horror font. I then start to type up all the names and jobs for the title sequence.

The typing of the names took me another 2 days o complete.

Editing day 4

On the fourth day I still had to choose a font, but this day was easier than the last day because I already had a few fonts that my team liked so all I had to do was to test the fonts out so I downloaded them and then used them on Photoshop. The reason I tested them was because they might have looked good on the website but when I use them they might look terrible. When  I finished testing the fonts we decided to go with two fonts because in every title credit the names and the job roles have two different fonts. I then started to create the title credits for the title sequence.

Editing day 3

On this day I started testing out new fonts for the title credits. I had to find a font that matches with the genre and the style  of our title sequence and to find the font I had to go on the website Dafont. using this website I went through many fonts, testing each one to see what looked the best. This was a long process because I had to please my other teammates, so if I like one font and my teammates do not then I had to choose another, or if one of my teammates and I liked a font but the other member does not then I had to choose another, the decision had to be unanimous. meaning on the second day we did not pick a font.

Editing day 2

On this day I worked on my own and I started to do the title credits for the sequence. I first had to research what needed to be in a title sequence, for example what job roles, how many credits do I put in the title. I first researched who should be in the title, so I went on to a website that shows title sequences and looked specifically at horrors because we chose a horror genre. and I looked at Se7en because we had loosely based our title sequence to the film. I also looked at other horrors such as The Conjuring and the reason I looked at The Conjuring is because it was a recent horror film that was successful. By just watching the title sequence I found out haw many credits I should put in and what job roles.

Editing day 1

On the first day of editing I had been working with Liam, because editing was a big task. We first had to upload each clip that we wanted on the mac. Choosing which clip we wanted was difficult because we had to go through a lot of the clips and if we saw that there was even the smallest mistake we did not want to use the clip. The process took about about 30 minutes. After that we had to convert the clips so the clips can work on final cut pro, the software we were using. this took another 30 minutes because depending on how the long the clip is means that the converting will be longer.

Shooting day 4

Day 4 was our most productive day because we had a lot of shots to do. We first looked at our plan and then started filming. During filming we had added more shots because we thought that the shots that we added completed the title sequence and made the whole thing make sense. the filming took us the whole day because we had many obstacles such as the ground was really muddy so we had to go through a different route and we did get lost but found out where we were.

Shooting of day 3

On the third day we wen to the forrest, this was the least productive day because we had to go when the weather was nice. We had told our friends who were in the title sequence to wear party clothes because the film is about a group of boys going to a party. It took us 0 minutes to set up the camera as we had to find the perfect spot where it was not muddy and the ground was level. After we had set the equipment up we went to look at the sheet and started to film. the filming took us a long time because we had many setbacks such as the scenes were too long so we had to keep on retaking the scene, other occasions was there was people waking past the camera so we had to retake again, a couple times we had random people in the car shouting because they were fascinated about us filming. because of these setbacks we had to continue shooting in the next day.

Shooting day 2

Just like day 1, we went to Liam's house to shoot more. we began the day looking at the plan for our shoot, and we chose to continue with the scene with the book because we discussed saying that we will go to the forrest in the third day. Liam went to set up the tripod while billy and I went to get the props, like the book and placed it at the same position as the first day of shooting. When everything was prepared we shot the book because that is where the title of the film appears. then we got pictures of the boys who were going to the park and we then shot our next scene which was Billy was putting the photos in the book and then crossing their eyes and he put the photos on a board.

day two was a productive day because we had to use different effects of the camera to get the perfect shot and the day became more of a learning curve or Liam as he was the cameraman and he learnt some new techniques.

First Day of Shooting

On Monday the 17th the group had met up at Liam's house to start the first day of shooting. We had our plan sheet to see what we were going to film and our first shot was the scene when Billy, our protagonist was opening the book. We did the shot four times because we had either had the focus wrong or that we had objects that should not have been there. after we had shot that scene we looked back at it and we determined that it was good enough to be in the title sequences. The clothing that Billy was wearing was a dark hoodie and the hood was over his head. The reason why we had the hood over his head was because we did not want to see the face of Billy as we wanted the protagonist to be a mystery.
