This is our logging rush. Fortunately, most of our takes were good enough on the second attempt we shot them, as the first take was often testing the way in which the acting will correspond with the camera work. There are a few breaks in the time code as we had some problems with the tapes.
We then captured the footage from the two different tapes, we cut and arranged them onto a timeline and started to add in the credits. We chose a sans- serif font because it matched conventions of a comedy genre film, and the white colour of it stands out and is clear to read.
We then added the appropriate sound levels and the countdown timer to indicate the beginning of our sequence.
Next we added a cross-dissolves to the opening credits to create a sequence that flowed and didn't look rigid. The credits were displayed for about 3 seconds, as research showed that this was how long the credits are typically displayed for in a comedy genre opening sequence, long enough to clearly read them, but not too long that the audience get bored of reading the same thing.
We also added a second cross dissolve to the end of our sequence as this showed that the title sequence ended and the main film will start.
This is the music that we imported into our project. We found the sounds on a website dedicated to unsigned band's, this would ensure no copyright issues with the music. The track we used is called 'Worn Out', a perfect replacement for our first choice of 'Just a Day' as the music is almost the same and creates the same effect, as both being a light teen based rock anthem.
We used the track to run through our whole project as non-diegetic sound, as well as the Americanized 'school bell' sound effect in two of the scenes. We added fades to teh start and end of the tracks in order to make the sound flow with the visual footage.
