Group discussion 11/02/2013 (coombe robbery - media madness)

In today's lesson we found out that Coombe had been robbed over the weekend by an anonymous individual. All the apple macs have been stolen along with our finished opening sequence and other edited footage, although thankfully the headphones were not touched. There are no suspects as of yet but luckily our brand new macs are on there way to us.
This has left us shocked and in question of the security in school. This catastrophe means we have to edit our opening sequence again but luckily we had some of our edited sequence backed up on another drive so thankfully we have some material to work with.

Here is an image of  us showing our emotions towards the disaster.

Group discussion 08/02/2013

In today's lesson Laura and I began to complete our title and credits sequence, we experimented with some font styles and designs that looked appealing. We also searched on the internet for some sound clips of birds that would also be placed over our title sequence, these would match the animation of the flock of birds shown on the screen also added with the name "Phoenix production's".

Rianna carried on editing our behind the scenes and backstage footage and finally completed it. We vaguely have discussed the plans for our soundtrack, although we have an idea of what types of music and sound effects were are going to use.

Showcase Feedback

Yesterday we gained some valuable feedback from our peers on our opening sequence so far. We now know what we need to work on and are happy that they understood the narrative and the opening sequence created tension.
Here is the feedback.

Editing 07/02/13 and Group Discussions

Today we carried on editing our behind the scenes footage and put the soundtrack onto it. We also included photos we had taken from the lessons. Now we need to fix some of the text we have put onto the clips before exporting them.
We also recieved some feedback from our peers, who pointed out the strengths and weaknesses in our opening sequence. This was very informative as it came from impartial perspecives: it made us see what we needed to improve the most. We also started creating our titles and soundtrack today.

Group discussion 04/0/2013

Now we are nearing the end of editing our film we decided to move on to creating the behind the scene's and  out-takes footage video. We used final cut to add in all the clips and also added in some pictures and videos of us to make it clear who was in our production  company. Furthermore we downloaded a song which we added to the film, we felt it suited the clips very well as they were humours and up beat, just like the song.

This is the song that we used in our out-take and behind the scene footage film:
