Weekly Update 10

After the reflections over half term and the deadlines of rough cuts, to which did not go ahead due to missing footage we planned to make sure we had everything organised this week.
We decided to make sure we had as much as we could for the 3 montages, knowing they would be a large bulk of the trailer.

On Monday this began with the creating of intertitles, to give an animation effect of the text moving on the page and getting clearer and more defined. As there wasn't a specific intertitle for this we created one ourselves using a pad of paper, pens and a still camera taking shots. At the first attempt it didn't work as well so we decided to re-do the three because the angling wasn't staying the same, so we set it up as a tripod.

On Wednesday I had got in contact with a local charity shop to see if it was possible to film their changing room the geeks trying on different "cool" outfits on in a montage of shots, like the same concept for the getting tougher in the gym.

We then filmed in our media lesson on the Thursday further footage of the geeks getting tougher by filming in the park the pair jogging, to which we could edit into the previous montage.

On Friday we edited the footage of the two montages that had been filmed so far into one sequence. This involved the rough edited footage being made more defined and added together.

Also on Friday we made up the magazine front cover mock-up, minus the image of the main character. This involved organising the general layout of where the text would all go. This will be tweaked next week and hopefully have photos taken for the next session.

We then as a group discussed what shots we needed to get for the trailer, to which Jake made a short video outlining each of these. We hope to get these done next week alongside a photoshoot in hope we can air our project as a mock up to get feedback from our audience.

In terms of the soundtrack we are in the process of getting copyright free music already, however if that fails we plan to create a soundtrack on Garage Band to go over our montages and opening shots.
