Final audiecne feedback

Above is the audience feedback for our final media product.

29/03/2011 log - Soundtrack, Editing and Filming

Today after receiving feedback from the day before we reassessed our thriller, and decided to make numerous amounts of changes. Some of those changes involved re-filming certain aspects of the our thriller, such as getting various shots of inside the box, as well as getting the box with greater light, allowing the audience see the box more clearly.In addition we re-filmed the the surgery part as i believed that it didn't convey the narrative i wanted to put across Another one of the things we changed was the soundtrack, we decided to go for a more tension building and mysterious approach, rather than our original fast paced soundtrack, which inevitably didn't suit the pace the story conveyed. We have yet to fully touch upon the rest of the changes.

Visual production soundtrack

This is the soundtrack that was used within our thriller film, and it was produced using the program garageband. There were a vast amount of different versions of this becuase certain key elements were either out of sync, or missing certains parts.

Production Logo

This was our final production logo that we decided to go with, due to the fact that it anchored the production name and emphasized the fact that were not associated with mainstream commercial film industry. In order to make this we took, and image of a persons eye close up, and from there we decided to add various effects. Initially we wanted to make the picture in color, and give the iris a rainbow effect, however we decided to go with a black and white effect, because of the fact that it seemed more professional and simplistic. The program we used was Adobe Photo shop.

1/04/2011 log - Finishing Edting, Soundtrack, Livetype, and new production logo

Today we all continued the tasks that we were doing before in order to meet our deadlines. While there are still little segments that need to be tweaked as well we're still on track towards finishing. When it comes to editing all that Paul needs to do is that re-arrange some of the clips as well as add the production logo in front of the entire thriller. When it comes to music, Muhidur needs to still adjust the music in order to sync with the actual movie. In addition he needs to insure that the pitches of music within certain segments of the thriller, aren't too overpowering nor are they too quiet. Furthermore he needs to begin adding some diegetic effects in order to make the  music more natural. Scott needs to once again re-do the livetype as the effects placed upon it apparently don't suit the type of film we're making. While i need to re-film little segments to insure they look as realistic and professional as possible.

7/04/2011 log - Work on audience feedback

Today our group are altering the thriller in response to the audience feedback that was given to us, concerning all the elements such as the mise en scene, sound and titles, which we key areas where people seemed to have problems. Therefore it means that Scott is editing the titles, and Muhidur has had to adjust the music slightly. Those seem to be are main objectives for today, besides updating our blog. In addition some refilming is required as well as some more editing.
