Storyboard

This is a sample of our storyboard. We originally devised a storyboard using post-it notes on sugar paper, so we could easily move shots around, but this wasn't worth photographing/scanning in, so we remade it using screen snapshots of our actual shots.

WOW

Just been to South Africa for my cousin's wedding, and while there, I discovered something really interesting and good.

I was having my hair done, for the wedding, and i picked up a magazine from the middle of the pile. On the cover was one line describing a story about teen suicide pacts over the internet, and since I thought this was relevant to our film, I chose that magazine. I turned to the article, and the journalist had titled it "Caught in the Web" which is our film title that we had decided a week before that!

This finding made me happy because it proved that our title was really good and appropriate, since someone in another country had used it for their real magazine.

That's it really..

OH, and I watched our final film for the first time yesterday (as I was away for our actual deadline) and I really liked it! I watched it with my dad (who was in it) and he said "Ooh that's really quite good! It's amazing how quickly it all happens. Is there any more?" and then he said "the end part could have been a bit slower perhaps". So, first feedback is pretty good as it left him wanting to see more, and he doesn't even like horror films.. But I suppose ours is kind of a hybrid of horror and thriller because it doesn't have as much slashing as other horror films, and has the thriller aspect of a chase and is full of enigma.

FINALLY FINISHED

After so long of hard work, shooting and editing. Months of painful descision making about how it should be, we are finally done.
Our title sequence for our film called 'Caught in the Web' is finally finished!
We're really happy with it, and we took into account all the feedback and incorporated it into our piece

It looks really good and we're very pleased!!!

Disaster!!

When looking at our work to be signed off Miss B. realised that she hadn't noticed ours didn't have titles all the way through, and would need them to make it a continuing title sequence.

Now we have to make a few more titles and add them on through the piece.

Test Screen: Feedback

We had a test screen of our final sequence today, and overall it went really well. Both me and Holly were really pleased with how it turned out however the other members of our class had some things they would change..

  1. turn down treble on master shot of me
  2. cut music down at end-too distracting
  3. quiet down sound of keys
  4. needs a change of music as montage starts-change of music for change of pace-also too distracting..
  5. drone too loud
  6. printer quieter

All of these are fairly minor and are easily sorted. We are coming in tomorrow to make these small adjustments and then we will be done!

Overall I am pleased with the piece, and pleased with our feedback

Hi!!

cooltings holly
i think we've donwe a couple of them anyway?

I'm dead excited to finish now.
AHHHHH

The whole thing is looking really good
I'm really impressed, we've mangaed to create a piece that looks professional, yet simple and still really chilling: exactly what we aimed for!

Final To-Do-List

We're practically finished, but these are the last things we have to do:

  1. Make one more title on the mac in Mr. Dean's office.
  2. Make the drone (over the whole thing) quieter.
  3. Stretch the music over the end a bit.
  4. Change the colour temperature on some of King's shots so that the saturation is the same throughout - make it warmer.

And then we will be onto the evaluation!
