Today I re-watched the title sequence and I found at the begging the music drowns out the sound of the heavy breathing we got the girl to do, so I edited this so on this part the musics quieter and the footage is louder.

...

We've started adding in the information needed when making a title sequence e.g- actors, production company.. etc...
Whilst I was away last lesson Emily added in where the title would go, when I cam back this lesson i found the part where the title comes up the music has beating sound, so I edited this so the title would flash with every beat.

...

This lesson we added in some music. We firstly decided to not have music but have a script of people talking as though there leaving an answer phone message, but once we started assembling our footage we found this didn't fit as well and chose some music. The music we chose has quite a "heart beat" sound to it, which make the title sequence more tense.

...

This lesson Emily wasn't here so I was working alone. I decided to ask Tristan and other students what they thought of the title sequence so far, I got a lot of positive feedback back and took this into consideration before continuing with editing. I made the clip a lot shorter by taking out a lot of unneeded clips. This immediately made the clip more jumpy which suits our genre of horror well.

As we've been using a editing program, I have learnt to use a lot of new features on it which is didn't know how to use before. One that we've used a lot in my title sequence in the Razor Blade tool. This slices the clip to make a cut which means you can then move that one part of the clip around and makes it easy to do morphs and other more technical edits.

Today we edited some of our clips. we had a technical problem when trying to capture the clips, because every time we did, the computer crashed. after we finally did it, we did a little test with a program called onLocation and Adobe Premier Pro to get used to using it.

...

We were unable to get any police tape to film by a bonfire, so we decided to cut that part out and we decided to film a knife with fake blood on instead.

...

While we spent the day filming we decided to add in some extra text.

...

Today we filmed our title sequence. We came across a few technical problems. Emily Previously filmed a few minutes worth of a candle burning down, After we filmed the first section of the text, we went back to watch it and found it had gone missing. So we had to re-film it.
