Top Marks! :D

For our opening sequence, we got top marks in our class! :D We were awarded 56 out of 60 for our opening sequence of a psychological thriller, Released. I would like to say well done to the other members of my group, Sophie, Dom and Lester. We did brilliantly! :D

In case you missed it, here's a link to our opening sequence. :)

Editing and a Bit More Filming

This week we have pretty much completed editing as well as filmed the final shots. Today and tomorrow we will finish editing the clips we filmed this week and hopefully come up with a high standard completed sequence. :)

Editing and First Draft

Today, our first draft is due in. :S

After the other members of my group filmed the scenes in Apex, we spent Thursday's lesson editing a rough sequence. Lester stayed after school to finish getting the clips in the right order and adding the credits to the opening sequence. Today, I came in for an extra two hours to sort out the sound in our clip, which I was in charge of. After muting all the clips, I added the piece of music I found on the internet and began adding sound effects. As our sequence is due in for lunchtime, I can come in at the beginning of lunch and finish adding the sound effects. I also trimmed a few clips and added some different transitions.

Target For Our Opening Sequence

After having our teacher watch our first draft and watching the opening sequences from last year, we were told to write a target for our own opening sequence, based on what we'd seen and the feedback we'd been given. The target I've come up with is to get our opening sequence to a consistent quality, as our beginning is much better than the rest of it.

Filming and Editing Update

On Monday and Tuesday, we got the bulk of the filming out of the way. Today we started editing the clips together to get a basic sequence but as we are still waiting on the Apex scenes, we didn't get very far. After school, Lester, Sophie and Dom are going to film the Apex scenes. Unfortunately, due to other commitments, I can't go and film with them. However, I will take a larger role in editing to compensate.
