Evaluation Question 1

Due to a technical difficulty I had to use Whitney's prezi account which is why the Prezi says it is by Whitney although I did create it myself :)

Evaluation Question 2

Huy played the character of a well educated, middle class man. He played a 'suited and buited' character like Brad Pitt in 'Se7en'. He's costume represented him as a powerful, authority figure giving a sense that he is in control of the situation over the young girl he is torturing. It also gives a sense of Adults vs Kids as that is a society we live in. This character will appeal to a young male audience as they may seem him as they may find him intriguing and try to unravel his actions and reasons for living a double life.
nice creator gif is here






The vitcims are usually represented as hopeless, innocent, young girls which is the representation we gave victim. We chose to dress her in white to give a sense of innocence, purity and it also gives a sense of death, as the colour white is usually associated with heaven.

EDITING - Final 'Hidden' Title Sequence

EDITING - Final Touches

Today, our whole group came to the media workshop to make some final tunings on our film opening.
Throughout the media workshop and actual lesson, we shortened the opening after receiving multiple feedback that we should get rid of the gap in our opening; it made it seem like the opening had finished and when it resumed, it caught people off guard.

 We also fixed our film auto so it was in time with the opening and that the bits where we cut to loop didn't sound really obvious.
When we completed all this we went on 'Motion' to find possible idents for 'February Films and 'Jaman Productions' because we couldn't find the ident of the actual companies on the net.
Once we found suitable idents, we went onto soundtrack pro and found title opening sounds in the cinematic beddings then just exported it and imported into Final Cut Pro.

We showed one of our peers our unfinished video before our final touches, she gave her initial feed back, reaction and analysis of what she thought of our Thriller opening

EDITING - Motion

For our distribution and production ident, we decided to use the programme Motion to do this. This will  create visual effect which makes the ident stand out from the rest of the titles since it is at the top of the hierarchy. In order for us to do this, me (Huy) and Danielle went on Youtube to discover some tutorials that may help us with this. After watching some tutorials we found out how to change the font of the writing (our ident), add a template, and to add other special effects such as glow. We then imported it on to our film on Final Cut Pro.

Making Sound

This is a screen shot of us in the process of putting the music for or thriller opening together. We are using soundtrack pro to do so. 

This is a Vlog we decided to make  on the final day of editing..

EDITING - Compression of Files

This is a screen shot of us compressing a Vlog we are going to upload. This is a useful skill we learnt during our swede project. We realised that we could not just upload a video without compressing it, as the number of MBs is too high for blogger to comprehend, therefore we must compress it in to an MPEG file. We will also have to do this with our final Thriller opening.

EDITING - Initial Feedback

We showed Donna what we had done so far with our openning and recieved her feeback.

- Take out the unneccesary scenes.
- Alter the beginning so it starts with the close up of the antagonist walking inside of the former establishing shot
- Add some effects into the title such as fade in fade out
- Add the actual titles
- Removing the footage that had a slught shake from the opening
- Taking out a lot of the mid and wide shots and replacing them with close ups to create more tension.

FILMING - Props

On the day of our first filming, the 8th of February, because we finished filming early. We went to go and find fake blood as it was a vital component for our next filming, without it, we wouldn't be able to film,

EDITING - New TItle

After having our thriller "Undercroft' reviewed by various people, we found that by a unanimous vote, that the majority of people thought that the title was "tacky and unoriginal" so we brainstormed other possible title ideas and came up with

 - Push
-  Hidden
 - Safe/Unsafe
- Basement
- Normal
- Facade

We then decided to change out title to 'Hidden' and got the other two group members consent.
We chose this because, it represented the main character, his past is "hidden', his victims are 'hidden', his true personality and attitude are 'hidden'

EDITING - Order of Undercroft Titles

EDITING - Fonts

After getting various opinions on our title sequence, taking the feedback, we decided to change the font of our titles and keep all of them a single font which fitted the genre of our film.
From the feedback we got from various students because they were part of our targer audience they thought the original font we used didn't fit the horror genre of the film and looked similar to Times New Roman.
