Editing Update

Our teacher Sam Norton-Taylor graciously permitted us to have two more editing sessions, but we believe we could finish it in one

Music Chosen

In Our previous editing session, the group and I unanimously voted to use the music hiding in th dark, as we saw it beat suitable for our opening and title sequence.

Presenting The Titles

We recently found a way of presenting the titles within our opening sequence in the mise en scene because we learnt that presenting each title within its own frame took irrelevant time from our precious two minute limit which we were given , so we used shots which we took earlier with flickering lights which was better that the ones which we intended to use therefore and it didn't affect our continuity editing to a large extent

Sound Technbical Difficulties

Today 12/02/14 was supposed to be our last day of editing, the but the last 3 shots needed to be rendered because the sound was a little messed up which meant we couldn't check out the music in  the background. We spent most of the lesson trying to render them but couldn't. The most worrying part of this problem is that we desperately need the sound to work for those footages, because they had dialogues that we really need to be heard

Assembling Difficulties

Initially we thought that we had completed assembling our footages together on 09/02/15  as mentioned previously but we didn't save it correctly, so I had to do it today on 11/02/15. By the end of  today's session, I had already completed adding all the titles to our title sequence. we just need to insert music and sound effects to our work and we would have completed our title sequence,  

Sinners Never Sleep Font Ideas

Some Fonts We Looked At For Our Movie's Title

 

 (OCR A STD)

 (OPTIMA)

Sinners Never Sleep Font

After a careful selection process, so we selected the font 'OCR A STD' size 30. The font size 30 is large enough to fit the entire title into one frame in the same line and was placed in the centre because since its the title of our film, it must stand out more, and the OCR A STD font is also a simple font, but bold enough to stand out to make it easy to read too.

Quote Font

The quote as intended was supposed to appear that on its own black frame as shown below. We wanted it to be bold. When deciding what font to be, we took into consideration, the simplicity of the fonts and also the size so it would fit into the fame completely . Some positions within the frame might be cut out on certain screens, and since we really wanted it to be in the title opening, we placed it in the centre to allow the audience to read it with ease so we looked at the font size 24 which is reasonably large for our fonts and eventually selected the font 'Papyrus'.

 

 



Movie Titles Font

When deciding what fonts styles and sizes to use, we had to consider how it would look in the frame and how long it would take to read. We have approximately 2 minutes for our title sequence and we couldn't afford to waste time with fancy fonts so that the audience would be able to read it, so we tried to look for simple font styles. We went for a reasonably small font size (20).
we looked at the fonts Geneva Sathu and decided to use Sathu.

Selecting a Font

We had planned to use the font 'mostly mono' from the  website www.1001fonts.com but we couldn't get it so we were advised to use the fonts available on the computer system.

Footages Assembled

We completed assembling all our footages done on 09/02/15. this took us approximately two hours to do so and were faced with little difficulties which included figuring out exactly where on our timeline that the titles were going to go. Our initial plan of where the titles were going to go in was changed due to previous filming errors which mentioned in a previous blog.

Conclusion of Our Filming Process

We completed the entire filming process on 05/02/15 and we intended to focus our remaining time on editing the footages that we filmed. We had already booked an editing suit and when editing today, we realised there was a shot that we needed to perfect, which wasn't done quite right, so we had to re-shoot it again today. Apart from that one shot, we have already completed assembling our title sequence and need to add the titles, quote and company ident.

Title Change

Initially we wanted to write the titles in the mise en scene, but we decided to add them on their own individual frame instead because we had a couple of filming errors which made it difficult to establish a sense of continuity editing, so we decided slug over our mistakes where we could hide our mistakes with the titles just like what we intend to do with the quote.

 

Music Ideas

When selecting a music to use for our title sequence, we decided to use a very slow music to build tension and suspense. After looking online for suitable music, we narrowed the list down to 3 which are: 1. Hiding in the Dark 2. Lullaby of Sorrow 3.Facing the Fear

Cast Problems

On our third filming day which was 02/02/15, Linsey (LOLA) was ill, so we had to finish shooting all of Farah's (RACHEL) shots without her since we were running out of time, we couldn't afford to waste anymore time. We arranged to had 3 more Shots left to do, therefore we decided to do another filming day on the 05/02/15 where we could finally complete our filming process.
