THE FILM OPENING.

Here is the final thriller film opening. 

CONSTRUCTION: WEBSITE.

Today we made the website, to go with our film poster. This publishing and advertising helps promote our film and enables people to watch trailer as well as access information about the film and directors, it also has a link to our twitter and facebook page.

CONSTRUCTION: RECORDING THE LULLABY.

Today in lesson we recorded the lullaby "Hush Little Baby" for the soundtrack of the film opening this will be overlayed and looped over instrumental music, we picked this because we felt that the lullaby represented the mental state of the woman as displayed by the last few lyrics in the song: "your mamma loves you and so do I" proving once more how she longs for a child of her own to love. I sang the song many times to make sure the best one went into the film so it had the most effect. To find the lyrics to the song we used Google, we had to search many different sites to make sure they were the right ones, as there are lots of different versions of that song.

CONSTRUCTION: MAKING A TRELLO.

Today in class we learned of a new presentational tool, known as TRELLO, which enables me to make lists of what I have to do, and what is in the progress of being done. Below is a screenshot of the one that I made. CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK.

EDITING: TITLES.

Today in class Amber and I experimented with the titles for our film opening. We made a video explaining what did, the decisions we made and why.

CONSTRUCTION: MAKING THE POSTER.

Today in lesson we decided we were going to make the poster for publishing and advertising. We took a still image from our movie and decided that this would be the foundation of our poster. In addition to this we decided to add text in a specific font that we would use throughout to keep it in formation. Below is the poster.

CONSTRUCTION: FEEDBACK.

Today one of our friends came into class to watch our film and give us some constructive criticism on how to improve. She highlighted 4 main points that made the movie successful:

-the filming was successful with different camera movements. 

-the narrative is clear. 

-the music fitted well with the filming creating suspense. 

-the opening had a sense of enigma. 

She then gave points on which we should improve:

-We need to add a voice over to help improve the narrative. 

-Decrease the brightness of the colours during the park scene. 

-Add sound effects of guns per ripping the war photos to imply the woman had experienced trauma. 

- Adding the toy into filming to tie with our film poster and final shot with the opening. 

We have taken these points on board and will continue to work on our film to make it the most realistic.
