Final Editing

Because we are coming close to finishing our final opening sequence, we sat with Efosa today and went through our film and changed the bits we didn't think worked that well and also made the overall film shorter because we thought some clips dragged on too much and also need to make some scenes brighter as it's quite hard to see. So this lesson we made a rough final version just so we can show the rest of our class and get some feedback.

Feedback questions

Our Second question that we asked our audience 'Who do you think the target audience is?'

"Horror, 16+"

"Horror teens and mid-age"

"18, Indie Horror"

Most of the answers we got were all the same and me and my group was happy because this is the audience and genre we was aiming for. 

Our Production Company

This is our production company that I have made. When it plays the word 'LIGHTBULB' flickers like a actual light bulb. It is effective because it's dark and connects with our actual film opening.

We also came up with other ideas for a production company such as
Wonky Donkey Productions

Lighthouse Productions

Newhouse Productions

Light bulb Productions

Transform Productions

But we thought that Light bulb would be the best option as I had a really good idea of how it would look.

 

Jess, Chloe and Jade made this on macromedia flash.

Feedback questions

The first question we thought we should ask the audience is 'What was especially good about the film?'

Here are the answer we got from our audience

"Really good editing (Red Lipstick with black and white shot) Good camera work and use of sound"

"I liked the end when the camera gives different shots of the eye for example, and also when we see and here the train"

"Camera work was very good, good use of colour, lighting was very good"

"Good variety of speed (slow motion)"

"Never see the face until the end shows suspense, good shots of knife and shots of make up and nail varnish at the start"

"Good acting"

Final Editing Stages

Our deadline is Thursday so this means that we dont have much time at all to complete all of the work set. So because of this Jess, Chloe and Efosa stayed for a hour after school so we could sort out the music for our opening, as we have not got any sound on the video yet except for digetic sound which was there when we filmed it. Also where there was interruptions with phones and other electronic equipment there is a lot of buzzing and hissing that we had to make sure was gone before we could send it of. This is what we sorted out today and tomorrow in our lesson we plan to finish the music ready to start the evaluation.

Making Changes to the storyboard

we decided to scrap our initial storyboard idea and start a new idea for the storyline. The initial idea was having Jade alone in a house and her having nightmares about a man stalking her.We as a group met up afterschool to decide on the new idea and we decided that Jade would keep Jess hostage and Efosa was the secret villain that was on the phone to Jade. We don't see him till the end though.

Original film title

We originally thought of calling the film "The Hiding". Because Efosa was meant to the be the hidden killer but we changed the title to Captured as it has a double meaning. Captured as in Efosa eventually capturing Jess. And captured as in the photography sense when Efosa takes a picture of Jess at the end of our opening sequence.
