Evidence of editing - Hospital scene - Harrison

Final cut pro was used on the Mac pc's in the editing suite during lesson time, we spent approximately two hours compiling our best shots to put into the final, completed sequence.

This is the concluding shot to the whole opening, and its purpose was to conclude the tension that had been raised throughout the opening sequence, therefore it was crucial to make sure this edit lasts the right amount of time in order to leave the viewer asking questions, without giving too much away. The clip concludes with Max about to open his mouth to say something, then it goes to a straight cut.

 This is a close up of the protagonist, we used fast edits here, mixing between big and extreme close ups to convey confusion and anxiety. We chose to use this type of shot, because it allows the viewers to see the panic on max's face, which contributes in creating tension and developing the mood of panic that we are trying to convey.

The two shoots on screen were taken to show the equipment our protagonist is strapped into, this was vital in showing the environment he has found himself in, but also to show the seriousness of the situation he is in. We used a focus pull to add a more professional feel to the shot....

Title Sequence Idea - Max

For our title sequence we could have a blank screen with our title name on it (which has yet to be decided). This would last for a few seconds before fading out to the first shot of the penning shot of all of the feet on the plane.

My idea is that on every pair of feet you see, more credits appear.

For example, when the first pair of shoes comes into shot. We will have the names of everyone who worked with the cameras or sound equipment, probably in some sort of broken up white font, that could then reassemble itself to show the names of the people. This will then fade away quickly as the camera moves onto the next pair of shoes.

On this pair of shoes, we could have all the names of the people who have acted in the piece, this would include the nurse and doctor who helped us in the hospital, the other students who helped as extras, and the parents and siblings who helped too.  This would again be written in broken up white font that would reassemble itself and then fade away.

As it goes past the final pair of shoes, we could feature the names of the students who composed the music for us, or the website from which we have obtained royalty free music. Although we will probably ask for a student to help us with the music. Again this will be written in the broken up white font which reassembles itself before fading out.

Then finally as the camera ascends past the briefcase and towards the head of the protagonist, we will finally have who edited the piece and directors etc. Before the whole scene actually begins. This will all be written in the same style as all the other credits.






This is not a final idea, but just a possible idea for us to explore. The point of having the credits showing in one of the actual shots for the film, is because we are already fairly tight on time, so we need to put the credits in a shot so that we dont use up any more time. We may, if this idea is chosen, make changes to it, but for now this is one of our ideas. We may not be able to include the effect of the font reassembling its self, but if possible we should hopefully be able to use that, to hint at a sort of theme of decoding or hacking.

Another possible font choice could be numbers that would then turn into letters, or something along those lines.

Here is the list of the ideas from the video:

Hack
Hacker
Case
The Case
Briefcase
Cuffed

The chosen title will appear before our film briefly for a few seconds on most likely a blank screen to highlight the title.

There will also be diegetic sound used throughout the scene, as well as colour correction such as saturation to create a more dark and tense atmosphere. - Jack
