Thriller Title Sequence 2010 Group 12

The rough cut of our thriller title sequence is not very much like what our final edited title sequence would be but most of the things are related to the final draft. We used Final Cut Pro to edit our shots and bring them altogether, add any effects etc to create our rough cut.
This is because of many disadvantages we came across during filming:

We firstly arranged to film at one of our group friends house far from college at Walthamstow, the problem with this was the case that we had to leave college late, therefore due to Walthamstow being a long way from the college, we were at our film location around 6 o'clock which was the times where it got dark in the room and lighting's were not enough and the lighting provided like a clear spot light which didn't make anything look good, so we couldn't film shots with clear lighting. Due to being in a predicament, we had to film once again at another location where it was closer to the college so we could have guaranteed the problem of lighting! Therefore, we decided to go to another group mates house, this time every prop we needed, we had. The location was good aswell, but once again, unhappily, there was a problem as the room was slightly small to film in. This caused countless amounts of problems as i was unable to move the camera around comfortably. There wasn't even much room for the tripod to be placed. For this reason, we couldn't get the shots and camera angles that we wanted which made the rough cut look very low budget and low quality! Lastly we decided to film in the colleges studio, which had a lot of lighting and good facilities and we also went to Finsbury park to film the forest shots. We then finally had our filming finished!

However, although it took us longer to finish our filming, i believe that this rough cut wasn't that bad if the camera angles were to be correct. We could have just played with the colours, hue-saturation or saturate etc and make it look even more creepier suiting our supernatural thriller genre. This means and clearly gave us a good understanding of what should and what shouldn't be done while filming, where to film and how to film. I see it as an experience rather than being such a big dis advantage and disappointment!
Our rough cut has the shots and scenes of our original storyboard, and so will our final draft. The uniqueness about our final cut would be that it has better camera angles and lighting.

In general, our rough cut contains the main things that were asked from us. It has various shots, camera angles and movements. It has been fun and the filming was enjoyable for me. Also i think that the final draft would be good because of the help with the rough cut!
