Production Log 15

*Needs images from our Mac - screenshots of our work*

This wee for our production we have been working on filming and editing the introduction to our film. Even though we had finished recording most of the shots over the Christmas holiday and the week after we still had to rework some parts of the opening. For example we decided to re-record all of the football scenes, this time during the day and in the park, with different angles and more shot types. On top of this we also managed to redo some of the shots inside the house with the phone and planned on doing the shots where the brother get's arrested. This time round though we would have an actual police officer so it looked more realistic. 

For editing we were working in Final Cut, a better alternative to iMovie since it allowed more types of editing and a much more natural and smoother interface to work with. This meant that I had to show my partner how it worked, since I was the only person who had actually used it before. On top of this we started to put together our opening sequence by doing a rough draft, which would place down all the clips, transitions and graphics. Ontop of this we also created the institutional introduction/graphic. I created it in Adobe Illustrator by inking the outline of a bulldog and finished it by colouring it in, in Photoshop. We used a very rough urban style font from dafont.com as well. 

In general this week had gone very well, there were very few if not any problems except for music, we never managed to get permission to use a song so instead we had to use a royalty free song in the style of rap on the internet.
