Construction ROUGH CUT

25th of February
 I was working on the foley sounds and the sound track for the film, I layered two lots of sounds to create a suspensful soundtrack and searched for sounds I can add as foley using youtube and youtube converters and the website Soundbible.

Construction FINAL

These are shots taken from the set of Questionable Intentions, here you can see me filming and Hannah adjusting props and costume.

 Here you can see evidence of my work in garage band, creating the soundtrack and foley. Bottom left you can see evidence of the colour grading I did and bottom right you can see me editing the final film.

Individual Edit & Evaluation

At the stage that this edit is at, as in my post detailing previous AS film research, and the reasons I gave the grades, I can only give my individual edit a level 2 as there is no use of foley and currently no titles. I think this is a justifiable grade as this was a rough cut to test what shots were necessary, what shots worked well, what shots didn't work so well, how to colour grade and to generally test my knowledge of final cut. Titles and foley sounds will be added for the group edit and the backing track (played by myself on piano) will be recorded properly for the right length of time and not just cut together.

Progress Report

Conventions of Genre

This was a little presentation I created with the help of Hannah Costen and Katie Offer for the voiceovers. Unfortunately when uploading it to youtube it swapped some of the images and sounds out of order. However it was complete and it took a lot of time as I drew each picture individually in Paint on my little old laptop.

Dexter Remake

When filming dexter I filmed with Megan Hertzl and Sophie Butcher, however due to production groups being set up and the way work was completed I edited with Hannah Costen and Rosie Harvey. I have proof of filming with the first group which will be added, along with the embedded video that I helped edit.

Previous film opening research

I gave this Opening a low level 4. The editing and use of sound, not just with the soundtrack but the foley as well, was creatively used. The only thing stopping it getting a high level 4 in my opening is that there were not enough titles used and they didn't create their own distrubution logos they used new line cinema. They clearly had a good sense of the genre, filming in graveyards, eery music, they new how to create the fear factor.



I gave this a high level 3, it had some titles but not enough and sometimes I was confused as to whether the genre was horror or thriller, there wasn't a clear grasp on either. Aside from that the use of foley was great and imaginitivie with the repition of words in whispers, and the phone ringing, dropping to the floor and call ending. That is why it got a high level 3.



I gave this opening sequence a level 2. There was no use of foley where it definitly should have been used, for example the knocking on the door, the key in the lock, footsteps, simple things like that, there was no sountrack, no clear sense of genre and one title throughout. The camera also seemed very handheld at times when it should have been steady.
