Final Film

Our Final Film

Finally we finished our opening sequence after 2 months of planning and researching, 8 hours of shooting and 2 months of editing. I have had the best and most stressful time whilst making this opening sequence. I am happy to say I got to work with great people; thanks to Ella Baker, Sam Haines, Tom Malins and our actors Matt, Jack and Patrick. Its been amazing making an idea a some what reality. 

Enjoy :)

Changes to the Sound

We decided to choose a sound that would be consistent throughout the whole video. This is as many opening sequences have one particular sound that doesn't change very frequently. unlike the sample soundtrack. This consistent sound is an underlining tone which we could overlay different sound upon with different shots, such as the clock ticking, the change in location and events taking place; where the narrative begins.  

 Along with amending the sound we also thought that we should incorporate some main feature credits when the voiceover occured. We felt that the screen was blank for along duration of time; although we were inspired by the 'Children of Men' opening sequence. We thought this would be effective as it would be a subtle way of getting the audiences attention to continue to watch further. 

The Sound

This is the soundtrack that we had sampled to see what the feel of the sequence would be. I like the sense of Si-Fi within the sound/noises. I feel that it is very repetitive and the sounds start to get to the point where you want the sound to change as they become slightly irritating to hear.

This is the sequence with the sampled soundtrack:



As we had tested this soundtrack we decided to change the sound to something less techno/electric to a sound of mystery, which would intrigue our audience more.

Editing 7


After having a big beak through last week with getting a lot of thing done and the progression of our sequence is finally starting to feel as though it will be finished. 


Voice over
We had done a voice over this week where we used the voice of a Matt. We thought he would be most suitable for doing this voice over as he was very clear and aliterate and his voice contrasted the appearance of the tramp, which we really liked as the tramp had more depth to him than realised. We had recorded Matt's voice of him reading the script, we had previously written, on Garage Band. We then used a software that we didn't not know of called Audiocity. This was a good software as we could change different things within Matt's voice but we had liked the way it was initially recorded. The process of the voice over was much simpler than i thought because it was importing and exporting the sound extract, which we needed to only change the file type of. 
Now having the voice over as a sound file and imported into Final Cut all we had done was create a black screen as, which the voice over would go on top. We then placed the voice over on the time line and al that was left was to place and perfect the timing of the voice on the screen. 

Whilst having done this we also imported our production title sequence at the beginning of the opening.

Sound
The sound for the sequence was one of the last thing that we needed to do to make the sequence complete. This was a bit hard as our genre of film didn't require any particular sound. We had done the sound on Garage Band, as we were not able to copyright any music. We had selected a few sounds that we thought were best suited to our sequences. These were mainly an intense continuous beat and note. This became boring and we were told by our teachers opinions that this would make our opening seem boring although that wasn't the case. We didn't want to footage to be long and dragged out neither with the sound. We had then with the soundswe had selected combine a few to make the rhythm of the each split screen different. We had chosen the sounds, it was now a matter of putting them to the right timing of the visual footage. This took a little while but the sound was the finishing touch on this long process of finishing our sequence.
Our opening sequence to Chroniker was finally FINISHED!
