Post Production

The last few lessons in media studies we have been in post production  fine tuning our production we did this from the 24th to the 27th during this time we have been changing a few things in the production but the story line is the same, the effects that the production has on the audience are better than the original production.

2 minute film opening

We  have finished the 2 minute film opening today but tomorrow we will be going into post production to make sure it is to the best of our ability.

Production logo

We have chosen to do a dark eerie logo because we liked the look of twisted pictures so we based our chosen design on that.

Further filming

On the 17/01/2012 we filmed all the outdoor shots again so that we knew that we had the best shots in the 2 minute film opening. The filming we have done is better than the previous filming, because the shots all look better because of the lighting is all the same, the dialogue goes well together it also gives it a good scary and builds up suspense for the audience.

Current film opening feedback

So far we have done about half of our 2 minute film opening and the criticism we got was good for our project because we have taken this on board and have decided to add different shots and to create more suspense. The criticism we got was that:

1. The audience did not feel sorry for the female victim because we do not really see her much in the opening. 
2. The wrench is not clear enough so we have decided to have a close up on that to make sure the audience knows what it is.
3. The cut between the mans smile turn to a frown and the woman being dragged away needs to be more clear why that is happening so we are having a shot of Dave swinging the wrench at her.
4. Dave's smile is not clear the audience thought it was Elizabeth smiling and then frowning therefor to make it clear we will change the shot completely to Elizabeth's smile go to a frown so we will be showing the reaction instead of the killers face.

Due to these comments we are filming on the 16/01/12 to get the film finished hopefully before the end of the week.

New shooting regime

We have had to create a new shooting schedule and a new storyboard because we want to create more suspense and we want to audience to feel sorry for Sophie (Elizabeth Howard). To do this we have added extra shots of Sophie doing 'normal' things so the audience get to care about her a little more (and therefore the film should have a greater impact on the audience).

Problem with filming

We were going to film on the 10/1/12 but unfortunately Sophie has come down with conjunctivitis and because her eyes are swollen we cannot film because the match on action wouldn't be the same all the same all the way through, we only needed to re-film some of our take because we have changed some ideas.

Production company

A production company provides the physical basis for works in the realms of the performing arts, new media art, film, television, ratio and video. The production company is also responsible for the fundraising of the production,  it may accomplish this by through a parent company, partner or private investor. The other things it is required to do are the budgeting, scheduling, scripting ans the supply of the talent (actors) and resources, the organisation of the staff for example the cinematographer, the production itself, post- production, distribution and marketing.

Film distributor

A film distributor is a company or an individual responsible for releasing films to the public, theatrically or for home viewing: ( DVD, Blue ray, Video or download.) They make it possible for the audience to view the production this involves making sure that there is enough film copies for the sales also it involves the shipping of the DVD's etc around the world.
Examples of film distributors in the United kingdom:

• 20th century fox
• Tartan films
• Soda pictures
• Dogwoof pictures
• Diffusion pictures

Our music choice

We have chosen to use the structure from In the house in a heartbeat to compose our back ground music above we have sheet music for a piano so that our musicians can play it and change it so that the music is not copyright.
We have also decided to change the narrating that goes over the pictures at the beginning for this music because we think that it makes more sense and would sound better to the audience.
