Today's lesson
By following our 'to do' list we were able to make more progress during today's media lesson. We found that creating the list has benefited us hugely, as we now feel much more organised and aware of what jobs need to be taken place before the editing deadline.
In the start of the lesson we all agreed that the titles that we had made were not engaging enough or liked by all members of the group. So as a result, we decided to make changes and alter the name 'TIE PRODUCTIONS' to a more appropriate name which shared the same theme as the image (the eye) and therefore came up with 'VISION PRODUCTIONS' instead as we believed that this matched the image of the eye more than 'TIE'. However, the original title wasn't abandoned as we decided to replace 'WOODFIRE IMAGES' with 'TIE IMAGES' as we felt that this re-arrangement of titles was more appropriate and fitted in with the images/ extract better.
Furthermore, towards the end of the lesson we decided to make adjustments to our audio/dialogue. The reason for this was because the recordings of the News reports needed to be added and the fade in and out transitions needed to be placed before and after the non-diegetic music. As this would ensure that the audio would flow and sound more professional. However, after downloading the audio onto the editing program we discovered that the news reports didn't sound how we wanted them to , which was to have a deep fussy effect, as it would sound like the audio had come off an old-fashioned television. Therefore we had a 2nd attempt and fortunately managed to alter the audio in a software called 'Adobe Sound Booth'.
Following this, we began to create the titles which would appear throughout the opening title sequence. We all agreed that the titles should look almost like they have been handwritten, as this is a common technique in which thriller movies use. However this was more of an issue than expected due to us all having different opinions of what colour, size and font the titles should be in. After having a discussion, we managed to negotiate and agree on one particular text, which was in a white sans-serif and hand written effect and that would suit the thriller genre well. We then just had to decided about where on the footage the titles would appear and which corner of the screen they will be presented.
