Tweaking and Extras Film

Because we had so much footage, and progressional stages within the opening that radically changed how it looked and set tone, I had to make a comparsion, a set list of priority changes and some snippets of when we were direacting shots and motive. Most of this other sample stuff came from our huge master shot which is over 30 minutes long, all together in this film I think we had at least over an hour of footage and possibly two hours as other samples where taken from a 20 min section.

Firstly, the comparsion is just to show what we've doen mostly with cinematic changes, making the area darker and replacing a few shots (this is shown in the first 'key changes' section)

Not only this but we also address that we now have titles and that by leghten of comparsion have slowed down the flash backs to replicate a 'day dream' phase as is what we felt needed for the referal back to the plot of the film.

This is nothing serious for looking at the footage we did, and espically when we're talking about stuff this is just an example, but now that I think we're finished, we need to go back and find places that we talked about shots, representation and possibly but these over the actual film itself as well as individual interviews and commentary - so we have a selection of things to work from.

And this is the current film - now, really, I don't think there's anything we could pick at. I've attempted to level out the audio, though I've also had in mind that with different legthens comes different volumes, so I used a basis of volume control to attempt to level it out (through i think this is as close as I can get it now).

Orginally, the starring titles didn't bother me until watching several films and thinking, this isn't correct, lets do it properly. So I did. The thign was, I didn't want to mess up the timeline of the film, the exact frames its at fits the soundtrack perfectly, so then I decided to copy the orginal, use crop, speed it up to around 180% / 160% and shave a few micro seconds off a few clips and managed to get it to fit! Orginally, the panic hit me as there really isn't anywhere else we could have put these.

Then the title at the end = it's so much more effective and ties up contigunity of our opening. I think this is as good as we're going to get it, unless Barry or Reece notice anymistakes.
