This is the conclusion to our opening sequence "what happens at half time". I illustrated each point with a few screenshots of what we used and the powerdirector software.
2. Editing Our Footage
• During the creation of our sequence, we had to go
through various websites to find decent music to
layer over the top of our montage that would fit with
the idea we had as well as being copyright free.We
found so many songs that would work and fit with
the footage; however, we couldn’t download them
as they had been copyrighted so the main way we
could find a good song would be to find an
uncopyrighted remix of a song like the one we
originally picked. We narrowed it down to two
different songs, both remixed by the same artist and
debated which one to pick as they both seemed
good.We decided the best way to decide would be
to edit some of the footage together first (about 10
seconds) and see which song fit the best over the top
and coming to the conclusion this was the best, we
downloaded this song and used this one
3. Creating our Company Logo
• When we had to create our company logo, it
originally took us a long time to decide what to
call our company and decided that this would
be best due to how ironic it is making it
suitable for a comedic genre of film.We added
it to the editing software and realised that the
logo wasn't of great quality so had to edit this
in paint and save it as a JPEG and then add it
again.To make it look like it fit well rather than
just having an image flash up.We therefore
looked through the transitions and found an
effect that fit quite well with the image and
then found a sound effect of a Panther to layer
over the top of the image.
4. Extra Filming
• When we did our first session of editing we
realised that we didn’t have enough footage of
players looking at the sky at the ball flying
through the air and the way we edited it didn’t
look right.We therefore had to go back to the
training ground the next day to ask another
player to look up at the sky as if he was
watching a ball. He didn’t understand what we
meant so we had to get him to film it several
times and use the power tool of video speed to
slow the footage down to make it look right.
We also had to put an effect over the top of
the footage as it was filmed on a much
brighter day so even though the footage still
contains a glint on his helmet, the footage is
darker so it isn't as easy to tell.
5. Audience
• We tried to make the meaning of the film and
the main character pretty obvious to the
audience as we used a close up shot as the end
with a voice over the top of the voice of that
character. It talks about him in first person
implying that the film is going to be about him.
It explains a brief history of him with the game
so we get a good introduction to the film and I
think it made it obvious to the audience.The
fact that he curses in his speech makes it
obvious that the audience has to be older like a
15 rating.We made it obvious what genre it
was as well as when we showed it to others for
feedback they all agreed it was obvious that it
was a comedy.
