Final Feedback

This is our feedback from the Final Showing to the group:

U1-32: We know we had not finished the video effects (filters, fades and the titles not all done to our liking). We also missed a couple of shots that would've made it really good, therefore it was a bit short. The main thing though was NO TITLE!!

Now what the groups said:

SOUND: not great soundtrack, they didn't mix (music+video)

CINEMATOGRAPHY: great shots

MISE EN SCENE: good, interesting location, and nice ideas of putting in extras.

SPECIAL EFFECTS & GRAPHICS: poor titles, some missing

EDITING: needed clearer editing, poor credits, bad fades, nice flowing scenes...

Shooting Log

All in all we feel the shoot has gone successfully. We have captured some excellent shots, all the ones we planned on from the "Shot List". We did it in our planned amount of time and worked well together and we were able to use the woods as a great back drop to the whole sequence using more than we bargained for...

Call Sheets

We plan to shoot our opening sequence on October 12th. We will use the media lesson time to get to the woods, so arriving about 2:00, and shoot for as long as we need to, estimated about 2 hours...

Examples of Influence

there were many influences in our thriller opening. These include "The Blair witch project" even though it is a horror film. Other films are things like "Se7en", "Panic Room" and "Children of men"
we based ours in a wood like in Blair witch but did it in a less scary way taking care not to step into a horror by keeping some mystery and scenic shots.
