Networking!

After uploading our film opening to youtube we decided we would like to share our work with our friends and family, as this would be a great way to get feedback and this may help us with our evaluation.

We used social media websites such as Facebook to publish our work. Many people liked, posted and shared our link to their friends, sharing our opening with a wider audience.

Mollie also posted our opening on the popular photo sharing app, Instagram. She used a screen grab (as shown right)

Update!

We are now editing the footage we filmed! 

We have uploaded all our clips from our cameras onto iMovie and have now started editing. We have got plenty of footage which will make editing and choosing footage easier as we have a wider variety of options. 
We have inserted out chosen music and are carefully matching the dance clips to fit with the music. We have included transitions that fade to black and have started to insert titles such as 'directed by..' which you can see in the second screen shot below.  When creating our titles we had to decide on a font, in the end we decided to choose 'Baskerville'. 
This was a successful font as it didn't detract the audiences attention from the footage however was still clearly visible, it also is classic and timeless so will not look old over time. 
We chose the colour white as it connotes purity which contrasted the disturbed mind of our main protagonist, and also stood out in our predominately dark footage. 

We chose to have our titles starting from the left and fading in and out of shot, we felt this gave a professional look, also we tried to match the timing of the font appearing to the music.The Font also tied in with the initial opening production titles.

Here are some screenshots of our editing process on  iMovie on the Mac.

Soundtrack to our opening!

For our non digetic music we have decided to use to build a home by the Cinematic Orchestra.

As our opening includes a lot of dance i thought we should play the track while filming in the background as this would make it easier to edit the clips together, the movements would fit more with the music and also set the atmosphere of the film.
