ROUGH CUT PART 2

This is part two of our rough cut. In the part of the rough cut it includes the climax scenes where the protagonists murder is built up and is committed.

Tracks of Damnation-rough cut part 1

This is the first part of our rough cut. It includes the shots building up to the shots where the protagonists walks of by himself and is targeted by the antagonist.

Hustler productions- our ident

This is our finished ident that we will be using. We chose to use this music in the ident as it makes the production company sound established and of a good quality.

Ident foley art compliation.

We have decided that we are going to call our production company "Hustler Productions". We decided for our ident that we would have a voice over of someone whispering Hustler Productions. We think that this will sound effective and hopefully overall look quite professional. This is a compilation of several clips that we are considering using in our ident for our film.

Filming Update

We have filmed the majority of our film opening. We have one or two shots left to complete which we could do complete in half term because our actors had other commitments. The shots we have left to do are:

The murder shot- the antagonist swings the weapon down onto the camera to signify the protagonists death.

Finding the body- the protagonist is found with wounds and bruising covering his face.

We hope to do these shots at some point over this week or the weekend. We want to get this done this week so we can dedicate our time more to editing and adding sound and titles to our opening.

Names on the titles.

When we add titles to our film opening i watched 2film openings to see how the cast and production were ordered. I watched the Legally Blonde and Perks of Being a Wallflower film openings.

From looking at these orders it will give us a good idea of what we should include in our titles and which order they should go in.

Deciding on typography.

From our typography mood board we narrowed four fonts that we thought would be conventionally used in a horror or a slasher film. We thought these fonts would fit in well with the genre and sub genre of our film. We put these chosen fonts on word document and created a focus group who would give opinions on which font we should choose for our opening. The people in our focus group were the same age as our target audience in order to give an accurate answer on what the TA would like to see font wise. We recorded the responses so we would have an answer with a reason to which font that they preferred. We used voice recordings to do this.

These were the four font choices selected for our focus group.

To get feedback about our typography we asked a few people in our target audience and recorded it on a voice memo- this is their response;

Q: What font do you prefer and why?
A: Font 4 because it looks like it has been scratched into wood and looks the most effective and goes with the genre.

Q: What font do you prefer and why?
A: I think font 1 or font 4, but mainly font font 4 because I think that it fits the genre more and stands out.
A: I think font 4 fits the supernatural and horror film. I think that font 2 looks nice but I like that font 4 isn't as cliche and is quite unique.

Weapon change

We had trouble procuring the axe so we had to use a piece of wood with nails in. We used this because it looks threatening and could be a more savage way of killing. Using this as a weapon makes our opening slightly more unique as there aren't many weapons used like this in Horror and Slasher films.

Progress of filming part 2.

We thought that we would be filming our final part of our opening this week which would be the group scenes. However we have had 2 problems with this.

1. We have recently had some snow therefore we cannot proceed in filming as in the other shots we have different weather therefore the continuity in our shots will be off.

2. Our second problem is one of our actors cannot attend the filming session that we scheduled for saturday. Due to this we cannot do the group filming session that day. We have had to move our last filming session to half term where we hope to get the final shots filmed in one day.
