EXTENDED CUT

Additional Footage [Extended]

We decided to cut this sequence from the end of the final cut for the examiner's marking purposes, as the overall sequence would have been too long.

Another reason for which decided to cut this footage is because some of the feedback which we received from our peers and our target audience suggested that the scene and the dialogue 'dragged' too much. Also, one of our teachers added that it developed the sequence beyond an opening sequence, because the character profiles began to develop at too much of an early stage.

Brain storm moment

LOOK AT ALL OUR FEED BACK

We presented the rough cut of zomped to an audience to gain some feedback as to the successfulness of the film so far. Although we felt we had done an extremely good job the feedback showed us exactly where we were lacking, and we were lacking alot. Alot of people said that the sounds were too fake and alot of people felt it looked too much like a trailer.For this reason we decided to reshoot and get exactly what we needed.

Production Diary

George has spent many hours at home editing footage and adding  animation effects to make it look better. He has also worked a lot on the animations for the titles at the beginning of the film too. We have encountered a few problems when it came to exporting the film as it didnt copy the animation of the titles over so we all have to redo the titles in school hours instead which is going to be quite difficult as the computers shut down automatically at 5 and the teachers go home too.

 we made a questionnaire to give to people for feedback, all three of us all put input in to think of the questions. Also since our progress for zomped since we have refilmed, we decided to show a few people our film opening to see what they think. We gave them our questionnnaire to fill in and give back to us.We got a lot of comments saying people really like the sound effects and that the genre of the film is obvious. Then when people rated our opening we got a range of 6.5-9 out of 10 which was quite good. Also in todays lesson we have videoed a few people and one of our teachers and asked for thier comments to see what they think of our film. We are currently creating a cartoon storyboard presenting all of the feedback we recieved from both students and teachers, we will put this on the blog soon.

Feedback

 After reading each of our feed back forms we came to the conclusion to re film zomped.
The most popular comments were:

the dubbing was all wrong
american accents were bad
was boring
sloppy
the sound effects were really bad
hated the zombie at the end


We improved each one of these flaws when reshooting while also adding a lot more shots and angles. We also changed the script completely to go better with the comedy theme

In shawn of the dead and scott pilgrim our two chosen films in which we took influence from ,both use quick cuts. We used the same due to the comedy value it has

DIARY

Today we came up with another idea to use action lines within our movie opening, this would add to the geeky, comic gaming effect. We also changed the text from AHH to OMG to fit in with the script. George worked on the titles while i came up with new and interesting ideas to add to the opening that would add to our movie opening.

makeup

Kaitlyn was the makeup artist for our film opening. To create a underslept weiry look  kaitlyn defined the cheek bones and created bags under the eyes. this was done using three different shades of brown all natural vegan eye shaddow. She also used two different bronzers and a pasty white shimmer to give  the illusion Emma hadnt been in the sun. Ever.Kaitlyn also used eyeliner to create the freckles on Emmas cheeks and nose.

Production diary group meeting

Today we continued to give ideas towards our opening titles. We edited the clips adding music, sound effects, dubbing over  our voices and improving the titles. We experimented with different fonts ect. We also experimented with the titles by allowing them to move with the movement of the scene. For example if the gate opens the title will follow the movement of the gate.

We also came up with new and exciting ideas for small visual effects.
