Titles

We kept to the classic white on black contrast for the titles and credits. The titles come up with the typical order of the jobs and the actors. They are in quick snippets which fade in and out and add to the confusion of the imagery. The title of the film ‘Fatality’ fades in as the word ‘Fate’ then the title dissolves the ‘e’ away and more text appears so the title reads ‘Fatality’. Credits were also added at the end in the typical style of the text scrolling up the screen slowly.

Sound Addition

For the titles we added a sound called ‘distortion’ which we repeated and increased the volume as it got near the end of the titles. In the end not all the music fitted the action so we cut the carnival music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuisPf8M40U and repeated it through most of the scenes. Then the scenes where the clown goes crazy we used the distorted clown music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FuNdgQkOkk but sped it up for some parts and repeated it. We also added sound effects of the cello tape being ripped off the car windscreen to show significance.

Finalised Editing

When we had all done our own sections of editing, we had to connect all our scenes together to make our finalized film. After the titles we left a gap of a blank screen before the first scene fades in as we put the title ‘the first day’ and planned on starting the music in the blank screen which would create curiosity. The first day was already connected to the second day with a fade out then the title ‘the second day’ appears and the action fades in. The second day fades out, the text ‘the third day’ appears and the third day fades in. Then the third day fades out, the text ‘the final day’ appears and the action fades in. As the text reads ‘the final day’ it shows there will be a change in the narrative and keeps the attention of the viewer. At the end the scene fades out and the credits automatically appear. The only thing that needs to be done after this is adding the sound.

Rough-Cut Meeting

We had a rough-cut meeting when we all had our sections nearly finished. We discussed what we needed to do to get things completely finished and decided when we could get it done. At this time we reviewed each others scenes and noticed mistakes and made changes where appropriate to ensure our film is as good as possible.  We also were able to sample music and get a rough idea of what we wanted in each scene.

Editing

When editing we decided that we would all do a bit of editing each so we all edited our own scenes. For my own scene I had the third day where the male gets mugged by two girls. I kept the editing pace the same for the scene up until the ticket is dispensed so it would be the same as the other two days. There are many short dissolves used in the clown scene to make the action flow more smoothly. The sound volume is turned down as the wind was very noisy through most of the scene; however we had to turn it up when the mugger was talking despite the wind so her voice was more audible. We also changed the pitch of the speech to make her voice sound lower. The editing pace quickens as the man gets mugged then fades out at the end to show the day has passed.

Shooting Diaries 5

 For the titles we filmed the clown in a dark cupboard with a torch creating disorientating imagery. We panned the camera to show different angles of the clown mask; with the lighting it creates a creepy image.

Shooting Diaries 4

Adele's House-

When we reviewed all our footage, yet again we realized there were a few faults so we decided we needed to film again. These were shots including the box so we decided to re-shoot round Adele’s house as we didn’t have time to go back to Felixstowe.
