Evaluation for Media - Captive

Captive title sequence 002

This is my second draft of the title sequence we used the criticisms from the feedback and made changes to the sequence to improve it.I believe that with a few small touches to our title sequence that it will be ready for our deadline, such as we had ended up deleting a crew title in the editing process so we have got to put this back on.

Final Editing Changes to Title Sequence

In Monday's lesson we decided to make final changes and see how we make our title sequence the best it can be before the deadline on Friday. 

When looking through our title sequence with the new scenes we had added of Christian's character 'The Doctor' at the very beginning with the scientific equipment highlighting tot he audience who his character is. We wanted to increases his medical title and we decided to add a filter on to the footage we chose, Bad Film. This was to identify the doctor to the audience clearly as this to be in the past and a flashback of his career to the other footage which has no filter.

As we began to get to the ending of the title sequence we decided to change the editing of when the Doctor is following Maria down the road. Prior to the change of this section of the title sequence the footage of him walking forward was repeated using a dissolve to carry on the repeat. When we had decided we wanted to remove this, are reasons for doing this was that it had a ghostly feel to it which is not really seen in the Thriller genre.Then we made the decision to change it by having fast jump cuts to the footage to show his eagerness and desire of Maria to create a more sinister and creepy atmosphere.

By making these small changes to are title sequence has made me feel more comfortable and confident with the title sequence and totally befits the codes and conventions of a Thriller.

Communicating Online - Facebook

From the very first day of are title sequence coursework we created a Facebook group chat to communicate easily and quickly with new ideas to planning when we can all meet up to film. This has been an on going chat and has really helped us throughout this course. 

Captive Voiceover - Final Edit

Lucy uploaded our final voiceover for the title sequence on to sound cloud so everyone had easy access to it downloading it. I really like the title sequence and believe it was the best it could be,however it is sad that it does not fit perfectly in with the title sequence and doesn't help with the storyline like we thought it would of. The quality of the voice over is to a high standard because it was recorded in the music recording studio and was edited on a Mac (on LogicPro). Also Christian was in charge of editing the voice over and he done a very good job at it,effects were added to the voice over both characters Maria and the Doctor to create a strange and mysterious feel. Sadly we are not including this vpice over in our final title sequence.
