More Changes

we've decided that the music is too upbeat for the film and does not capture the mood well enough. We need low tempo, errie sort of music and right now it's 'too happy'

Changes

I shown Dani Tuffen the begining of mine and Abi's video and also the 'gadgets' i
have on the Video studio that I'm using and shes suggested instead of fading out at the end of the summit entertainment clip like this...


to paint over this clip instead like this...

These are the un-edited clips that i quickly put together for this blog. In the video they are slower and goes with the video quite well.

Pitch!

Difference between an opening and a trailer?

Trailor
  • Provides a summary or plot outline
  • character roles are clearly defined (Propp)
  • Short and varied clips from entire film
  • Audience gets clear idea of equilibrium (Todorov)Music is a selling tool
  • Voice Over

Opening

  • Engima codes (Barthes)
  • Character roles are limited, main character shown only
  • Establishing shot for setting
  • Action shots (Barthes)
  • Audience gets a hint of disequilibrium
  • Titles are imaginative and fit genre
  • Variety of shots are used
  • Does the audience want to carry on watching?
  • Does the music fit the genre

Our Work is definatly an opening because it fits the opening criteria and doesnt fir the criteria of a trailor.
