Group notes

Tuesday march 8th

- We added Light ray effects added to the flashback of the dead body give mysterious look to it.
- We added car sounds to the main (street) flashback create an urban effect
- We lowered the sound from the main flashback because it was a windy day and the sound gear picked up too much unwanted noise
- We moved the flashbacks of the dead body to make it fit to the character, because it didn’t fit in because it didn’t make sense being flashback straight after flashback.
- We added an effect called “over drive” To the flashback of the fight scene and we changed the white and gray colours to create an effect so it was clearly a flashback.
- We shortened the fight scene and sped it up to make it appear more violent and more physical to the audience.


Tuesday march 15th


- We put a fade on the shot where Ashley is opening the bathroom door and we also put a fade on the flashback where the door is being opened in order for the shot to swap over nicely and smoothly from the present to the flashback.
- We put on the title of the film “Bill” and also the production titles such as “ a teleport production” and “BXU” which are our production companies.
- We added a bit of non diegetic music at the beginning of the scene, this is our start off point for music in the scene.
- We deleted the close up shot of Ashley as it appeared too quick on the edit and so was unappealing to the eye.


Tuesday march 22nd


- We recorded the voice over and cut and paste it onto our film noir style opening
- We typed out and researched the audience views via a questionnaire


Tuesday march 29th


- We changed the colour on a clip of Ashley as the colouring stood out compared to the other clips as it was too red/orange. Because of the colour difference we altered the orange clips with a colour altering effect.
- We placed the voiceover clips in the correct place so it made the best out of the scene, we placed a large section of the voiceover on a large shot so that the clip appeared less boring to the audience.
- We decreased the volume of the music where the voiceovers were also playing so the voiceovers were audible.
- We faded the music just before the voice clips so the alteration in music was not too noticeable
- We added character titles in so the actors are known within the opening sequence, we placed the titles over the shots on an invisible background so the titles linked in well with the opening scene.
