Editing Process

The start of my film 'R.E.D Nation' is a flashback to what happened to my character In the beginning. To represent this I first did some research on what and how a flashback should look and i found out that there are various different types of ways to do it. I wanted my thriller to look as dark as possible so i decided to go with the bacl and white way of representing the background.

I found this by going into final cut, highlighting the clip(s) i wanted in black and white and then i went onto the effects tab ->(then) image control -> desaturate. Another way i found out how to do this was to click on effects -> image control -> colour corrector then i had to turn down the saturation and edit the other two controls to my specification. I Tried not to make it too dark so that you would not be able to see anything but make it quite dark to represent the harshness of the films flashback.

This is the end result of my effect

UPDATE

So far I am requesting more songs from mobygratis and drawing up some more ideas to our thriller e.g. Sfx music how it cuts how we would make it effective etc.

Identity + Ident Production

For our ident I had to see if there was a company that had the same name as us. I went on google and found out that 'Dream Big studio' was a real name and someone used it. I then started to think of other names and then came up with dreamchase studio. As we all agreed we decided to go with it.

I got in contact with one of my good friends and asked him if he could do a Photoshop text (being the genius on it) of our identity. It's still in the process of being made

Film Overview so far...

The film is coming together. We did the filming over a long period of time. There has been many edits to our story board i.e character adjustments and some changes in where we wanted to film (Same location different area).

Title

On making my title of my film I used a software called 'Live Type for mac os' I had to do various different things and experiment on a whole lot of effects as i have never used it before. I found it pretty straight forward to use.

There was an effect that I wanted to use in the title sequence however it was not present in the live type. I went on youtube and looked at how to do the effect I wanted (Make the title change colour) but I wasnt in luck, so i make my own effect. I had to change the colour little by little adding the diamonds on the purple lines each time I did so.

Filming

Day 1

We went into the flats on Althorne way and as one of our main characters was ill, it  left only two members (inc. myself) we had to film the part of the that only requires two people. It was sucess full as we were able to get the footage that we needed.
