Here is the evaluation presentation of our horror film opening.

Wednesday 4th May

On Thursday 4th May, we uploaded our horror movie opening to Youtube.com to see what people think of it and how we could make it better. Hayley also burnt the preliminary task and the horror opening onto a DVD.

Wednesday 27th April

On Wednesday 27th April, we made the finishing touches to our horror movie opening. We made sure that everything made sense and ran smoothly, and checked that the music used is in the right place in specific places to build up tension and have a more dramatic affect overall. Our opening lasts for 1 minute 57 seconds, but as it should be 2 minutes long, we spoke to out teacher and he said that this would be fine as it is not massively under the required time. All we have left to do now is to burn it on to a disc and print the title onto a DVD disk to make it look more professional.

Wednesday 6th April

On Wednesday 6th April, we looked on the internet for some music that was not copyrighted to use over the top of our 'happy couple' scene. We found a website called Danosongs.com and he writes music and sings.We found a piece of music which went perfectly with out opening and decided to use that.

Wednesday 30th March

As we still needed to film the last bit of our opening, I went to Jamie's house and I filmed him walking down the stairs, into the kitchen and opening a draw and taking out a knife and then leaving the house to go am meet Scarlett (myself) at the park. I filmed a lot off different shots using different angles and interesting framing. For example, I did a shot of him walking out of the drive way and up the street. I really like this shot because you can see the whole of him, then when he gets closer, it is a close up of his feet, and as he gets further away, you can see all of him again. I will upload this footage onto the Macs with Hayley on Thursday 31st March, ready to edit  the final bits together.

Today in our media lesson, we downloaded the new footage onto the Macs and then began to edit it together it together. We put together the first part of it, (Scarlett and Jamie showing the reality of a happy relationship) and also put some titles into it. We used the sequence of MirrorMask titles as Leanne had already looked at the opening credits of that on her blog. Next we are going to find some pop type music from the internet which is not copyright to use over the top of our 'happy couple' scene. We can already see improvements with the continuity.

Today, as we needed to re-film, myself and Hayley went out of school in a media lesson and to my house to film some new footage.We filmed an establishing shot of my house from outside, and then inside, we filmed myself sending a text saying 'We need to talk. Meet me at 12 at Pleasure Park tomorrow.x' using different angles. We also filmed Hayley's phone receiving the text as the audience would not know that this was not Ben's phone.
