Final Film

This is our final piece, we filmed this back during November and December, since then we have been editing this film trying to make the film flow and to make it look more like a film, overall I think the filming went very well as we now have full opening two minutes. I think some of our best work comes at the start and end of the clip with the camera work used to zoom in on Ashley's body, setting the scene and tone of the opening, and at the end the editing between the flashback and real time I believe that the editing and use of transitions really makes the clip look good and seamless. I beleive however that we can improve the film by adding a couple of transitions in when the detectives approach the river there is a jump which we could have as a time jump.

Storyboard


 
 

This is our basic stroyboard, we have had to make severla changes to the stroyboard over time and this contains much of the scenes that appear in our film and we have the timings for each clip and the sound that will appear in the scenes, with a basic picture of what it will look like. I believe this is a good Storyboard because it does its job of informing us what clip we are doing next, what sound we will have and what shot and camera type we will be using. A few changes were made to the film that weren't in the stroyboard, such as the exclusion of the title 'The Case' we thought it didn't really need to add it.

Opening title Research


This opening sequence is very scary, as it involves very dark gothic music that makes the audience jumpy and increasing the amount of tension in the film, it also suggests that this film is very dark and will involve a lot of violence or dark themes, it also fits in well with video in the background, the font of the credits, would remind many people of perhaps asylums, or someone who is very psychotic, this makes the audience frightnened as they can tell this movie will be very creepy. The music in the scene also helps add to that creepy effect, which could intimadate an audience, I believe that this music is very effective, as it compliments the credits font and background visuals.
