Final Cut
Blood on the Front (Black&White Edit)
Here we have uploaded a second rough cut of our film noir title sequence. After receiving feedback from our first rough cut we have made some of the changes that were needed however our title sequence is still not completed, there is some more to complete. Feedback we have received from this rough cut is:
- Our material is appropriate for the genre as it conveys the meaning well and our storyline fits the conventions of film noir. It is also appropriate for the target audience.
- To improve our title sequence we need to add titles where appropriate such as our production company, the title of the film (Blood On The Front), directed by and starring..
- To also improve we need to finis the production of our soundtrack and add that into our opening sequence to further enhance the noir feel of our film.
- The material we have shot is appropriate for the task set including controlled use of the camera with attention to framing and usage of a wide variety of shot types as well as paying close attention to the mise en scene to truly reflect the film noir genre, which was explored in the research of the conventions of film noir.
- After editing the meaning of our opening sequence is apparent to the viewer as we have put our shots together in an order that conveys the storyline really well. Also in this second rough cut we have changed our footage to black and white to suit our genre and also adjusted the brightness and colourings of some of our shots to lighten some scenes as when shooting under street lamps there was not enough light in some scenes.
In our final edit we plan to add the title of our film after using live type to create title effects to suit our film and genre. We are also going to add more titles such as "directed by" "starring" and "lunar productions presents...".
Rough Cut - Blood on the Front (Sang Sur Le Front)
The rough cut we created went well. There are still a lot of changes needed to be made to make our film sequence successful.
However the advantages we have at the moment are :
- Use of varied camera shots
- Great Location where the film was set (Seaton Carew Front & Hartlepool Sixth Form)
- Acting Skills
- The use of script work
- Props (clothing,blood and lighting)
- Rough Editing
However the editing still needs to be completed.
we need to complete the following
- Change colour into black and white
- Iron out dodgy cuts for flowing camera movements
- Add Soundtrack
- Go over any acting again if needed.
Moreover i am very happy with the group effort with the Rough Cut , I think the Final Cut will be very good.
Here is a video from Youtube of dramatic film noir music to help give us ideas on the type of soundtrack we need to include in our piece.
