Equipment and software: Part 2

Software.

For all of our editing we will be using Adobe Premier Pro CC 2014, this is a professional piece of software (Used to make Hollywood films such as Gone Girl), This software gives us all the tools we need to produce our film.

As well as this we will be using Live Type for our credits in collaboration with Adobe Premier Pro CC 2014, this will allow us to create movement for our credits, as well as choice for size, colour and most importantly typography.

We will be using an Apple iMac 21.5 inch desktop to do our editing. The big screen, picture quality and performance of this computer will allow us for the best editing we can get.

Equipment and software

For our filming we will be using a Panasonic HDC-SD700 camcorder, the camera shoots in HD which gives a good picture which will give our film a professional look. Furthermore the camera has a zoom feature, which will help for some of our shots. We also used our own SD cards to store our clips. 

This camera will be mounted on Velbon CX 888 tripod,  and for our panning and tracking shots it will be upon a dolly. This will be used to steady our shots as well as using high angle shots thanks to it's extendable top. 

The dolly is a Velbon DL 11 Tripod Dolly, this will help us move the tripod and camera around steadily which is important for the quality we are hoping for in our film.

Storyboard edit 1

Throughout our pre-production and production stage we found that our storyboard needed to be edited. We needed the narrative to be longer and we included a wider variety of shots, this will give a more disturbed effect which supports our chosen genre.

Production: Props

Planning board

We updated the prop of the planning board, we used string to show a narrative through the board.

Dressing table

We also set up a dressing table for the girls bedroom, with the following props, this picture does not represent the final composition, however it is a good representation. There will also be an alarm clock.

Production: Making credits

We spent two hours on Wednesday the 21st of January editing and deciding on credits to use in our film. We used our rough edit as a backdrop and used LiveType and Adobe Premier Pro CC 2014 to edit these, we had a strong idea of a typewriter feel, we achieved this by a typing effect as well as a typewriter font. However for the title we chose a more dominating and malicious font to reinforce the genre of crime thriller. We saved all our fonts into a secure folder.

Filming: Day 1

We did our first day of filming on the 17th January 2015, we decided to film the narrative that focused on the antagonist. We filmed all of our desired shots and made a rough edit, upon looking at this we discovered few errors in both camera steadiness and continuity. We hope to fix these on the 31st of January. We changed a few shots in our storyboard because we thought these new shots worked better in the scene. For the mise-en-scene we used our own props, eg watch, noticeboard, as well as costumes, eg black hoodie, jeans and shoes.
