6th Draft - Final Piece


 As a group, we decided that our film may be hard to realise the genre of the piece. We decided to make the ending more horror related by showing another clip on Facebook of another attack but more horrific. We decided to adhere to the typical conventions of a horror by using low key lighting, weapons, fake blood, connotations of death and handheld camera work.

5th Draft - Final Piece





This is our 5th draft. We have included more zombie connotations and changed the titles to more facebook related ones. In this version some of the clips have been moved around.


Feedback from 4th Draft







This is the feedback we got from our screening in one of our lessons. 

Although I wanted the title sequence to contain no zombies (as it confuses the audience and makes the audience continue watching), that seems to be what everyone complained about and wanted us to improve. We filmed some more screen captures of more zombie related things and will edit that in today. 

Confusingly, the class complained about the music while others liked it. 

I do like the idea of the title names being facebook related, so I have filmed something to create that. 

It was suggested that the title didn't work and to perhaps use; 'Facebook Feed' instead. 

There is a really short time to complete all this work in time for the deadline AND finish the evaluation. 

My priority is to edit in the new bits to the title sequence

4th Draft



For this piece I made the shots a little crisper and added the titles for our title sequence.

I also made the decision to have the title of the film at the end of the sequence to intrigue the audience; also so they won't notice the zombie connotations within the title sequence.

3rd Draft



This is the 3rd draft of our title sequence. I have edited everything so it's in order and used better software (hypercam) for screen recordings. I tried using foley sound for typing and clicking of the computer but it can't really be heard due to the soundtrack.

To continue, we need to create the credits and then edit them in. Also, I would like to make the cuts of the shots a little bit crisper.

2nd Draft


This is our second draft. We found that the screen was blurred and jittery, and you couldn't see what was being typed. We played around with the scale on Final Cut Pro and followed some youtube tutorials, but was unable to make it work.

To continue, I think we should refilm at home on a software called Hypercam where you can crop and select what bit to film, doing this will hopefully keep everything within the frame clear (and hopefully HD).

If I refilm tonight, that means I can upload on thursday during free periods (as I have an exam tomorrow) and hopefully get a draft then.

The Right Kind Of Wrong Title Sequence Analysis

Lucy showed me this film and told me to look at the title sequence.

The Right Kind Of Wrong's title sequence is very similar as to what I envisioned  for our title sequence, mixed with a little of Catfishs' title sequence. I think that this social media title sequence shows modern youth.
