Film Making Update...

Our film is veryyy nearly finished, we just have some tweeking to do on the final bits.
We had some slight trouble with the ending of the film, the audio did not fit with the video clips, but we soon sorted it out.
We also had trouble with the timing of the film itself, it was over 2 minutes 20 seconds, so we had to make some quite serious decisions to make our film the right time!

At the moment we are finishing to make the credits that role at the beginning of the clip, and again at the end, telling the viewer about the Director etc. This has been the least difficult bit of the whole thing, but in a way, the most time consuming, we had to change the font quite a few times, and the effect we weren't sure about a lot of the time. We eventually got the right one and are in the process or incorportating it into our film.

I think we made a wise decision by choosing the genre of our film to be Suspense/Tension, and I like the way the film flows.
I liked making the music for our film, we did not get it off ccMixer, we made our own music on Garage Band, which I think worked very well with our specific video. We were then able to add drums to the original tune we created when the tension is at a climax etc. Garage Band gave us more freedom to create exactly what music we wanted.

I have enjoyed this piece of coursework this term, and although it took us a while to get back in the swing of things after our preliminary task, it was all worth it in the end. I am pleased with the outcome of the clip and it has been a good experience to really get to grips with Final Cut Express and using the computers for video-making.
