Organising The Final Scene

I have just finished writing the list for the extras, that we want to be in our final scene.
The final scene, is a shot where Frank enters a room, and in there is Petrov with all of his highest ranked men, with weopons.
The shot then fades through Frank draws his guns, and shoots. The screen then cuts to a shot of the words PELICAN HUNTER, which is hit by bullet rounds. This is the end of the trailer.
Here is the list, and next to each name, is the prop they will be individually equipt with

People to do final scene

How Much Longer

During the half term, a few more clips were recorded for the trailer, however we are running out of time, and still have a fair few of clips to do. Obviously with such little time, not everything will go according to plan, and on some shots, we will have to lower the efforts, however we have agreed to make sure that no scenes will go without carefull mise en scene, so a few days have been planned, where shots that will be taken, will be done in the same area, but in an area that matches the mise en scene.

We have realised that recording little clips at a time are pointless, so instead, we have planned two days out, that will provide atleast 10 final clips each. Major clips will be shot this week, also a photoshoot has been organised to photograph the final poster shots, of Petrov Kane and Frank.

The posters are simple yet effective, and the final drafts will be uploaded in the next post or two, as wil my magazine drafts, and the clips that were filmed through out the half term.

CURRENT PROGRESS So far, so G.O.O.D

At this stage of production, all of our members are working well on their individual Ancillary Tasks, with two close to completion so far. All that needs to be done is a jpeg image of the PELICAN HUNTER text that needs to be applied to all 3 magazine covers.

Soon a post will be uploaded of my final draft, and perhaps my final piece itself.

As extra credit, because we are so far ahead in our project, we also decided to add an extra task, of making a potential DVD cover, however this can only be properly finished when more filming has been done, because the screen shot images that are conventional of a dvd, need to be taken from the film itself, or photographed pictures from the day, in the action itself.

EDITING

Editing is taking place, and the clips have been added to three timelines, in three different programmes. Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, and ofcourse after effects.

I as the lead editor have spoke to the group and have decided on using Sony vegas and after effects, for colour correction and special effects.

They were fine with this, and we made the decision that they sat down beside me and i showed them how it is done. Because of my experience, i was okay with this decision, and also because of my experience, i knew that by using mulitple programmes, the process speeds up, leaving us with more time for blogging, and filming if it needs to be done

POSTER

It was decided amongst the group to produce three magazine covers (one each) and a few posters, which would be created as a group. Another photoshoot has been organised for the posters, as we want new pictures, because we dont wish to use the same image throughout. Although using the same image, is a way of people recognising the link between all types of advertisment we produce, but there are other ways. The one way we are using, is through text.

The text being used is called UNREALISED and it being used throughout, that includes trailer text, posters, magazine and DVD covers.

All that needs to be done for our group  production, is to finish all recording, edit it, and finalise our products.
