Beginning our Evaluations

Now that our films have been exported we have moved onto to the evaluation. Me and Lucy have partnered up and have already begun to write up our evaluation.

Final Film: Checkmate

Here it is...

Deadline Day

Time is finally up! Friday was deadline day and our 2 minute film opening has been finished and exported. It is strange to think there will be no more lunch time or after school visits to the media room to edit, but we are all very happy with our film opening and excited for everyone to see it!

Music

We have found the perfect music for our opening 2 minutes. Searching through dozens of songs on audionetwork.com, Anna finally came across 'Vampire Kiss' and luckily we then found it on YouTube and it is not copyrighted. Result!

Finishing Touches

Just a quick vlog to inform you of our progress. We have now finished our credits which are white and fade in and out during the two minutes. They are very subtle and plain which we really wanted as we feel that we don't want anything that will distract the audience from the film. 

We have also completed our Production company. Lucy and I came across a plain Cd and as the group had already agreed on the company name, 'Rolling Productions', we thought it would be quite clever to write the name on the Cd and then role it past the camera. Thinking from a media students perspective we also connected this with a camera rolling and using a Cd again relates to media.
