Production log 18

I think we started on a positive note when we first started planning and the initial filmin of the production but eventually we became complacent and started to slack in terms of what we could actually produce but in the end we pulled it together and i think it came out quite well.

I think i contributed quite well to my production, i filmed a half and Niraj filmed the other half  final piece though the directing was also done by him and also i took charge of the editing. 

I think my group functioned okay, except for Jay sometimes due to the fact that he had work as a factor which limited us to certain days of filming which didn't always work out because our schedule was based around our actors because they weren't part of our group.

I think something that worked very well was when we did get to filming we did everything quite quickly and effectively. There were't any arguments during the filming process either because we knew what we had to do and just got on with it. I think in the future we would have to be much more prepared for worst case situations and try to do things to our best standard first time round

Sound editing wasn't a major issue but we found that on the version of imovie that we were using didn't have the option to duck the sound to give sound perspective so i have to use two tracks where one was quieter and the other was louder. They overlapped so when the protagonist got closer the music got louder. That was the only real issue we found.

Due to the fact that we re-filmed many more times than that was intented, we didnt get a major amount of time to edit our final piece. We stayed and edited everything on the deadline though we didn't get as much time as we would have liked to edit, i think we did quite well in terms of putting everything together.

We found that the feedback given helped and allowed us to createore tension. The feedback was that we had to many cuts in between shots and it took away from the tension. Taking a few shots out added to the continuity and i think made it a lot better.

A lot of issues came up this week such as the factors we had to deal with while re-filming if we chose to re-film we'd have to film to the whole opening again. This wasn't too bad because we already knew what we wanted the production to look like, we just had to adjust a few things to add to the fluidity of the production.

Eventually we re-filmed the opening three times after though this became a set back to our schedule this was also a big help because we could then compare footage from past takes and see what worked best and chose what we had from our video library to make the final cut.

Production Log 13/14

This week we have had quite a few issues when it came to filming such as weather conditions, filming in tight spaces and not being able to get a correct angle on shots, and keeping to our production schedule was quite difficult to keep to because initially it was built up around our actors and a problem we encountered was that our protagonist wasn't in our group and couldn't be available all the time. 

After filming we watched through the shots and thought that it alll would fit together onced edited, we allocated the first day of filning to filming the first half and the second day of filming we finished off our initial shots of the whole production. 

We found while shooting that we had to alter some shots somewhat, due to the restriction of space in the room we found that some of our initial shots had to be changed to make it more effective.

This week we decided on the typography and color which were going to be used for our final edited production. We again looked a real BSR films and how their credits and graphics were added. Most of which were very simple, clear to read and stuck to one color for all graphics not at all usually super-imposed, in the end decisions such as the size of the graphics, the color and the placement on the screen for each individual graphic. In the end we kept the graphics simple and they were made white on the bottom or top of the screen so it won't detract from anything the audience will see on screen.

What helped us make these decisions was watching real successful BSR films and seeing how they included graphics in their opening  sequence from films such as Adulthood, Ill Manors and Made in Britain. Looking at these three opening credits we found that the graphics were all very similar to each-other with the exception of size and font, while the main color: white, was choose by all three. 

As you can see even the main title is white which shows the significance of using plain typography while choosing graphics to follow the main conventions of using graphics within the BSR genre.
