Class Feedback

We mainly had positive feedback on;

- Good location
- Original logo
- Well defined genre
- Tension building
- Well thought out Mise-en-scene
- Well defined character profiles
- Music which fits the genre
- Effective editing, including split screen

We had mixed feedback on;

- Variety of shots
- Camera work
- Titles

We had negative feedback on;

- Too plain - Too much walking
- Unclear storyline
- Lack of Action

Our target audience had a common consensus that is was a male teen audience.

The emergency filming session first thing today was canceled, and as a result, the ending of our opening has a reworked ending, with a blur and fade to white at the end, replacing the final 3-4 scenes.

Video Filters

We are adding video filters to the titles in our piece. Most of these are custom filters from Joe's Filters, such as Joe's stylized filter, maximization and pixelisation.

Font Change

We have decided to change the font on our titles, as is was decided that it was too retro and did not keep in line with the mood of the piece

Shot List

During filming we used alot of different types of shot, we used alot of over the shoulder shot as we were trying to put across that we were following someone.
Also in the car park we used a panning/sweeping shot to follow someones path.
Another shot we used was a long-shot, when we filmed from the 3rd floor looking down towards the first floor.
the longest lasting shot we used was when we used the trolley, so we could get a steady shot walking through the Grafton.

Shot Locations

We, so far have only had to shoot in the Grafton Centre. In the Grafton we have shot in:
Car park
Main foyer
Food Court

We are also going to film our final scene at college.

We shot at the Grafton because we needed a place which has a quiet and secluded place, such as a car park and a busy multi-story area such as the main foyer.

This is a screenshot of our garageband track for our film opening. We used dark samples, and added one instrument at a time, building the track up slowly to fit in with our footage. When adding the violins every third sample was pitch shifted down to add effect and to avoid making the piece seem boring.
