Final Cut Pro

This is a screen shot of the software Final Cut Pro. This is the software we used to edit our film. To begin with we tried using imovie, but because we have past experiences with Final Cut and it is the professional software we decided to use this one. My role was to edit the picture of the film because I also edited my film for my coursework last year, using Final Cut Pro too.

Soundtrack Pro

This is a screen shot of 'Soundtrack pro'. This is the software Petros Poyiatgi and myself used to edit the sound of our film. I believe we both had a minor advantage when put in charge of the sound because Petros also studies Music and I study Music and Music Technology, which means we are experienced in this field.

Music

Our group used the song 'Five Years Time' by 'Noah and the Whale' for the dream sequence, this is because it gives of the dreamy, happy feel because of the tempo of the song and the instruments used. While choosing this song, we had to come up with a solution that would prevent us from breaking the copyright law on the song. To do this we found a cover version of the song on 'Youtube'.

Our group also used the song 'Happy Ending' by 'Mika' for the end of the film to make the audience feel sorry for 'Dick'. Once again we had to find a solution to prevent copyright, so I had to make a cover of the song with a backing track found on 'Youtube' once again.

Planning Our Shoot

These are all of the planning sheets we were able to prduce and print from 'celtx'. The ability to do this kept our group efficient and organised

Planning Around Our Lessons

This is the list of lessons all the people in our group have on the week and times we are filming. We had to make this to make the teachers aware of what lessons and how many we were missing.

Cameras We Used

We have decided to use two cameras while filming, this is so we could capture every angle and be as creative and possible.

New Script

We have had a new idea again. It is that our main character 'Dick' has a dream. This dream is his ideal birthday and everything goes to plan and falls in his favour, he gets a car for his birthday, he gets pulled inside 'the girl next door's' house, everyone is wishing him happy birthday and he has a great day. But then he wakes up. This is a great advantage to us because we can constantly remind the audience of the dream and the fact that the normal day doesn't go to plan and throughout, Dick is noticing things that he saw in his dream and he wants them to be real. but it doesn't turn out that great for him.
