After a lot of hard work, we've finally completed our project. Please take a look around and enjoy watching our finished opening sequence!

Audience Feedback

• Everyone was able to name the title of the film.
• All audience members were able to identify the genre as thriller, action, sci-fi, or a combination of all three.
• All audience members successfully identified the target audience
• Most were able to identify our protagonist and the boss hacker

• Many people liked the music in the sequence; they felt it really help to establish the genre and build tension
• Many people also want to know "if the kidnapped guy is alive and what happens next."
• The audience were also impressed with the graphics, claiming that they look "realistic" and "really professional - conveys the message really well"
• One of the main points of improvement was the attack of the boss hacker.

"kidnap could be more realistic/sudden"
"the attack at the end could be clearer and more exciting"

Paperwork Evidence

Here is the Equipment Release form we filled out in order to collect the equipment we needed for our shoots and our shoot schedule. This contains the details of each shoot we planned, with signed permission from our teachers.

Grading

One of our inspirational films in terms of grading was Die Hard 4. From looking at this trailer, it is clear that our blue-tinted grading shares similarities with this film. For example, the shot at 0:06 of the man typing uses a cold, blue tint to suggest a sci-fi sub-genre, the same as ours.



Twilight, though a very different genre, shares our blue-tinted look. In this case, it is used to create a sense of mystery, something we have done in our sequence.

The Group at Work

Here are some photos we took while we were editing our opening sequence:

Paperwork Evidence

Here we have our two editing schedules, panning over our 2 weeks of editing. These allowed us to plan out in advance how much time to set aside for editing.

This is just one of many shot logs. This was used when shooting to keep track of how many takes were filmed of each shot, and during the capturing process to note down which shots were best and what we needed to reshoot.

This is one of our very early shot lists:

Audience Feedback Analysis

x axis: Mark out of 10

y axis: Frequency

I just made this bar chart to give a clear representation of how the audience feedback session went. The audience members were of both genders, between the ages of 14 and 18. This bar chart shows the frequency of each mark out of 10.
