Timeline

Here you can see a basic timeline that i have put together to show our progress so far. Baring in mind this timeline is from when we started filming and not from when we started the course, we have fit a lot into a months time. This means that the pre-production we have to do on top of the pre-production we did before we started filming isn't a lot. This means that we can spend more time on editing our video.

Alternations Along The Way!

We created our film and had to change it, as it  filmlooked more like a trailer, than an opening sequence, therefore we had to re-edit the film so that it looks more like the start of a film. We did this successfully!
We were going to have Chris say it all started when i was a child however we thought that it would have been more like a trailer and give to much of the away. Therefore we took it away.

Never Back down


Here is the cover of never back down, as you can see different colours and section on the screen break down the cover so you can see the main characters and gives you a very brief idea on the storyline. This makes you want to watch the film even more after seeing the trailer as you can see what your are going to get from this DVD just by the cover. 

The colours make the DVD cover good as it separated characters and short scenes from the film. The use of the yellow title makes it stand out over the white and red/orange background. The way the cover is at an angle is also good as it looks as if the sections are over lapping each other and the layers are mixed together.

Sound

When the film starts you can hear water running, the tap was on as Zee was cleaning his face & shortly after that the music for the film starts! Rihanna Love The Way You Lie Part 2 - Cover Version. We used a cover version so that we could use this piece of music but however it hasn't got any copyright laws on it.

The interview has the sound of voices as it is an interview and also during the interview we had the flicker of a camera to make the flash and the noise realistic as if it was in an actual interview.
