Our Resolved Title Sequence

Finally we have managed to upload our title sequence, but theres still a small problem, the video is really pixalted for reasons we dont no, the video is not like this when it is played on the apple macs so it must have happened during the uploading process.

The Whole sequence took around about 6 hours to film all together. We done all the shooting in 2 places, in school and at my home.

The hardest and longest process to do was the editing process, sience ever of us have ever used i.movie before we found it a little difficalt to do.

The editing process took us about 2 and a half weeks to do as we added shoots in and played around with the type of effect you could, also we tryed to make the music go with what was happing in the title sequence, for instance when you see the bloob spray up the wall we got the music to build up to it and then when the blood did splat then music went loader and faster the after it slowed down again.


Animatic

This is our animatic for our title sequence. Sence this video was made we have changed some of the shoots around and also added shots in to make it better and also to make it last longer.

Each shot should last for about 5 seconds and the whole thing goes on for about a minute. The whole proces of making this took us about 20 minutes which includes editing it on imovie hd.

We made this by recording each of our shoots on a plain white piece of paper and filmed each shoot for about 5seconds then paulsed the camera to change the shoot.

we are still having difficulties uploading all our videos which is very annoying.
will try and upload them as soon as possible.

This is the wound we made for the scene with the dead body in it.
We did some research on how to make fake wounds. We found out that you can make them out of latex with a bit of paint and then once its dry you cut it to make it look shredded and cut.
We had some troble making this look real on the neck, it woudnt stay stuck to my neck and kept peeling of my neck. we sort of solved the problem by putting a bit of fake blood on my neck and using it as glue and it also covered up the bits that where peeling of my neck.

At the moment we are having trouble uploading our videos to the blog due to the internet not working on the apple Macs, we will try and upload them when the internet is working or we will find another way to do this.

Names for our movie
We are having some trouble with the name of the opening title sequence and we are not sure on what ones to go with. Some of the names we have so far are

1) Card sharp: A person who is an expert at cards

2) Odds: Ratio of probabilities

3) Edge :An advantage over an opponent

4) Toke: A tip given to the dealer in the form of money or chips

5) Underlay: A bad or unfavorable bet

6) Probabilty

We got these of the internet. We typed in card phrases and came out with some of the language they use when playing card games.

The cast is just me and Lucy, the reason for this is that I think it makes things a lot easier to work with when there are just two of you putting in ideas, and we also have the same time table so it makes it easier to work on the project in our free time.
