Government Leader CCTV Shoot New One

Tyrell, Danny and I  managed to go to our schools library (the 'iBrary') and shoot an extra scene with the Government Leader our friend Kazeem. As Tyrell had previously created the 4 different pieces of CCTV for each cult and group and put them all together, he put a big red cross over each one to insinuate to the audience that Kazeem wasn't of favor or the cults and simply wants to take them down.The scene we shot today shows Kazeem pointing furiously at the different groups, with over the shoulder shots and close-up shots of him done by Danny. Once the shooting for today was finished, Tyrell  proceeded to go and edit the footage using 'Final Cut Pro'. He incorporated the recently shot scenes into the beginning of each cult members being shown within the title sequence in order to make it clearer for the audience to understand that what is being shown links together with the government scene from the beginning of the sequence.




CCTV Footage Scene



In order to make the Government scene stand out more and be more noticeable in terms of following the plot, Tyrell had decided to create a poster including all 4 CCTV footages from all 4 of the cults/groups. He did this using photoshop. This part of the scene will be used when the leader of the government is delivering his speech for his hatred towards these groups and that he wishes to execute them all and take them all down. The poster includes all 4 of the cults through CCTV and will have big red crosses over them to show that the government will take them all down.

Rebels Scene Re-Shoot And its Amazing

Danny, Tyrell and I have managed to gather a couple of our sixth form friends in order to act for the re-shooting of our 'Rebels' scene for out title sequence. We reshot it because our classmates and teachers shared our opinion on the previous one that we shot, we decided to change the original concept and re-shoot the scene with a different cast and a different locations. However, we kept some of the visual mise en scene such as the graffiti.   Tyrell did the cinematographer since Danny was one of the rebels as was I. He used different camera angles and different camera techniques like focus pulls and close ups  of different characters. This scene consists of the 'Rebels' group going about their daily routine, with their guns and masks at the ready but, they are actually being recorded through CCTV footage that is planted by the Government that they were unaware of at the beginning. We have decided to alter something quite significant within our title sequence and that is that the Government have indeed put in secret CCTV footage in order to view and keep track of each different cults/groups. In terms of miss-en-scene, this will prove most effective because before, we used the original map that we altered  to establish each groups location. But now, we will be using CCTV footage that displays the names of the groups and, we will used props and symbols in order to represent the group/cults in order for the audience to have a clearer understanding of who is who. After watching it over it seemed very effective compared to our previous take and visual mise en scene such as the tattoos seem to also help out .

FeedBack

We screened our rough draft and got pictures of the feed back we got from our class mates and teachers.


 



Feedback on first Rough Draft of the title sequence

Here the 1st draft of our Title Sequence


Refilming

' You have to film, film, film, look at it, re film, re film, re film, then film to finally get the right footage and this is just for the easy ones' words spoken by a wise woman. Miss Mcgrath in loving memories.

Danny, Tyrell and Ia have begun working on editing our title sequence for Media studies. Tyrell, Danny and I  have been staying after school to edit the shots we've recorded for our title sequence over the past week using the applications Final Cut Pro on the Apple iMac. We have done multiple draft versions of our title sequence, ensuring that we can edit and alter what we already have so that it fits what we  envisioned for the genre. We have had to re film a lot of things for example the Illuminati sequence since we couldn't find it.

We then also decided to film the evangelist scene in the same place as the Illuminati, ironic isn't it. We then did the oppose of the demonic scene by bring out bright lights and using special editing effects on Final Cut Pro to make the scene look more holy and divine. We also use a rosary as a mise en scene which had Jesus on its cross.
