Change of certification


We have chosen to change our certification of our film from an '18' to a '15'. We have also chosen to keep all swearing used in original script and filming but have 'beeped' them out using the software, Adobe Premier Pro. using this software we were able to cover the swear word with a distinctive beep. This allows younger viewers to watch the film, knowing there is a swear word there and understanding the seriousness of the situation of the moment in the film, without them hearing it.

Re-filming

We have found a local pub, where they hire out there basement for meeting etc. we have thought of this location for re-shooting our film. As it will look more authentic than our previous idea of our school conference room.
contact:


The Railway Hotel Pub 
85 Station Rd, Walmer, Kent CT14 7RL01304 368776 
PhotoPhoto's of the interior of the basement room will be uploaded tomorrow.We will evaluate these photos and decide whether to book this meeting room or the drama room at school

Editing

Now we have filmed our short sequence we will now edit it to make it look better and slot shots in certain places to fit the sequence. The editing softwares we will using are:
  • Adobe Premire Pro (on the iMac)
  • Memory stick to convert the file to different hardwares
For sound we will be using the various files (avi, MP4, etc) on the iMac which contain sound effects, like software such as SFX etc. we will using effects for gun shots, windows smashing and doors slamming.

creating an animatic

How do I create an animatic?
A. 1. draw storyboard frames- nice and bold, black pen if possible
2. take individual photos of each frame
3. upload the photos to the computer
4. import the photos into the edit programme
5. drop each image onto the timeline and cut to the required length
6. put music or other sound on the audio timeline
7. add titles or effects/transitions as required
8. export to quicktime and upload to youtube or vimeo
9. embed the video onto the blog or save it to a CD

Change of production name

We have discussed and have decided to change our production company name from 'Pizza Planet Productions'
to 'Swift Getaway'  because it seems more relevant to our chosen genre.


A logo for 'Swift Getaway' is in process of creation
