Our Final Version

This is now our final version after changing some of the elements that we got feedback on. 

Changes to be made to our final draft:

Having recieved feedback on our final draft version of our opening titles the following things have been noted to change in order to make it even better:

 

 

· The name of our production company needs to be on screen about 2 seconds longer.

· Capital and lower case letters need to be consistent across our titles.

· No sound after our title appears.

· Our title card needs to be on for longer.

 

These changes now need to be made as soon as possible. 

Our Final Draft

As far as we're concerned this is our final draft of our Opening Titles and we would like to now receive feedback on it although we have found some things which we would like to change in order to improve it. 

Changes from Rough Edit to Final Draft

After receiving some feedback from our rough edit we decided a few changes needed to be made in order to make it that little bit better. We changed:

• The speed of the titles in order for the audience to clearly read them.
• The number of shots of Gordon Twiginam walking to his office we cut to make the piece shorter.
• The speed of the playground scenes and sped them up in order for the narration to fit in with what was being shown on screen.
• The logo from having Eon productions to studiocanal as this suited our film better as it was an independant film company.
• The length of the music and instead of cutting the music we slowly faded it out as it made it more smooth.

The Process of Editing

When editing our piece we found it hard to edit down to the finer details, for example when having to slow down sections of the film where we shows titles in order for the audience to see them. Making sure our cuts were smooth was also a challenge, such as the scene between Gordon and the secretary as we wanted to make sure the shot, reverse shot was smooth and clear. Overall it was fun editing our piece especially when we added music and the studiocanal logo at the beginning because it made it more professional and seem real.

Filming and Editing in Process

We've now started to edit our opening titles with the programme 'Final Cut' on Louise's MacBook laptop (screenshot). Everything seems to becoming together nicely and we now just have to add some music and a logo, such as Universal or Warner.Bros into the beginning and get Sam who plays Gordon Twiginam to narrate over the top of the primary school scenes.

Filming the opening titles

We are going to start filming our opening titles this term, however with a few complications and interuptions it might take slightly longer to accomplish but we should still manage to hit the deadlines.
