Typed Up Shot Log

For every shoot session, we logged our shots to help us in editing. This is one of the shot logs from our final shoot that I typed up (because our handwriting really hard to read)

 

Sequence is Finished

After several weeks of working on our production, our opening sequence is finally finished! After 24 hours of filming (broken down into three 8-hour shoots) we got plenty of footage to edit into 3 sequences.

Sequence 1

This was our first attempt at filming and editing a sequence. The main purpose of this shoot was to find problems that arose and to find solutions to them so we wouldn't make them on the actual shoot.

Sequence 2

This was our second sequence which was meant to be our final sequence. Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, the actor playing the dead body couldn't be present for the shoot. Instead, we used this as an opportunity to get more shooting and editing practice as well as a chance to make some small changes to our script slightly.

Reflections On Final Shoot

After two test shoots to prepare, I am highly confident of the results of this shoot. We all agree that the footage we shot was of a good quality and because we had practiced so many times, we finished with about an hour to spare to shoot extra footage with the remaining tape and time.

Overall, I am looking forward to capturing on Monday and seeing the results of all this work.

Experimenting With Titles

Recently, I did some experimentation in Paint Shop Pro and created three images of what our opening title for Reverse Pictures could look like. I decided that it should have a minimalist, professional look so I went for simply white text on a black background every time. All I changed was the typeface and layout.
