Editing by Daisy

We have now managed to make a few titles and edit a majority of our Trailer
The Idea is to keep all the titles in the same style. We have made the letters have an outer glow and made the front letters of each word bigger to help emphasis the words. We have decided to use a simple black background and white coulred writing which should help to keep it direct and simple.

Editing and Creating our Titles by Tolu

For the beginning of out trailer i copied the opening from the trailer for Pride and Prejudice, it is an image that states the rating of our film which will be PG and it is present at the start of many of the trailers we have seen. This means we are conforming to the traditional codes and conventions of making a trailer thus making our product much more professional. In order to do this, i had to import the trailer into Premier elements as a new project, delete the sound and edit out the sections I required.

For our company logo, I was going to use that of 'Focus Features' present in the Pride and Prejudice trailer but instead, I decided to create our own in Photo shop. I decided to call our company, 'Ritchie and Lawie Productions'. In order to make our company logo, i got an image of a camera and edited it into the shape I wanted. Then I proceeded to play around with the font and colours until i got an image i like and thought was suitable and believable as a company logo. I then imported this images into the project i had already started with the rest of my titles and exported it. Then i imported it into the project containing my trailer and placed it in the suitable places within my trailer.

Filming by Daisy

Today I managed to do some filming. I filmed Lottie storming into her room being desperately upset. I used a tilt high angle shot and a low angle shot and a couple of mid shots. These shots really helped show her state of mind and emotions. She is currently at the stage in the film where she has to make the hard decision between hockey and Henry which is our disequilibrium. I asked Lottie to breathe deeply and make weeping sounds reflecting her misery which I think will help make this part seem quite realistic and natural. I found Lottie’s corporation incredibly and she’s a really good friend to work with.

Filming by Tolu

Yesterday, I filmed the a real hockey match in an attempt to get some genuine match on action. This was risky as it was a real life match and i may not have obtained the shots i required for my film but as it was prooving too difficult to find time to film an organised match as pur actors never seemed to be avaliable when we had time to film. I decided taking the risk was well worth it and it prooved to be. Some of the footage we obtained was quite good, there are a range of shots from different angles and i do beleive it was a sucess. We only have a few more scenes of filming to do then we are done obtaining footage and the editing can begin.
