Sound Track for our Title Sequence

This is the sound track we have used for our title sequence. Our sound track consists of different sounds which are put together using Premiere Pro. The sounds used are:

- Instrumental - We have looped the sound at the start as we needed the start to be long so when the beat drops its when the guy starts running so we looped the start by putting 4 pieces of the same sound together.

- Instrumental - We also cut the sound at the middle of the video as it was too long for the footage. We added the ending of the instrumental to where we cut it and we put it together so it sounds as if its one track.

- Police sirens - We have added police sirens to the start of our title sequence and it cuts out before the chase starts. Also we have added it to the end where the location is shown, this starts after the boy gets kick in the face.

- Train - We have a sound of a train at the start and the end of the title sequence. It first comes on when the footage of the train comes on and its apparent at the end and it appears just after when the boy get kicked.

Title Sequence - Rough Cut 1
Mert's Evaluation

Personally i think as group 39 we have done a good job at putting a chase scene together. At first we thought it would of been hard putting all the shots together as the videos that we was inspired by had fast moving shots. We had some issue during our filming period as the location was was going to film in was dangerous as the area has a lot of gangs, also the area was far from our school so we decided to go somewhere closer, so we could have more time filming. We filmed our title sequence in two place. the first was Harvist Estate where we filmed the location and the second place was down the road at Andover Estate where we filmed the chase scene.

Original Filming Area - Broad water Farm

Location Area - Harvist Estate



Chase Scene - Andover Estate



Our filming time went well as we spent 3 days filming and this was during 3 of our lesson times. We spent 2 days filming then the next lesson we put our film together to see if we needed to take any extra shots and to see the shots we had to re-do. After that editing lesson we went out and took more shots. Our title sequence has a lot of different shots types and we used a range of different angles and camera movement. We took around 50-60 shots and this is put into a 1:57 second title sequence. We have used a lot of shot as its a chase, so we want the film to build tension at the start for the audience. The different shots we used are:

- Long shot 
- Wide shot 
- Close up 
- Mid-shot
- Extreme long shot 
- Two shot
- Cut in

The order of our title sequence make sense as it is clear of whats happening. The order is the way we planed it although we had to change our location. The camera work looks good as we have steady shots and the camera is not wobbly. We used a  Fig-Rig and a Tripod to prevent this. The performance of the characters were good overall but some little bits look dramatic. We didn't use any props other than the chaser having a back pack.


One of the issue we have with our film is the costume as the character running has a grey hoodie and a black jacket and hes wearing white jeans with red shoes. The chaser is wearing grey tracksuits with grey shoes and a black jacket. In the footage they look similar but the red shoes makes them look different. 

If we was to re-shoot it we will change the costume of the main character (Boy being chased)Another issue we had was when we went to re-shoot some parts the lighting was different in the new footage's we took, as the lighting was brighter in the footage we took after.



OVERALL: I think as Group 39 we made a good title sequence and i think our rough cut looks good and it looks like the way we wanted it to look like. We are now going to put the titles in and we are going to do it to a film that has the same genre as our film.

Controlled Assessment - Rough Cut 1


Editing Title Sequence - Controlled Assessment 



We have started editing our title sequence using Adobe Premiere Pro. We have started to put our Rough cut together. We are putting the shots in order and we are adding the sound that we are going to use to our rough cut. For the sound we have looped the music we are going to use and we added sound affects such as trains and police sirens on top. The editing process is going well as the fast moving shots of our title sequence is looking good together and the tension builds up.

Editing Session - Friday



We have started to edit on fridays lesson as we put the title sequence together to see if we had to take any extra shots that we had to re-film or that we missed. This was good as we had a idea of what we had to change so the next filming session we knew what to film.
Filming Session 3 - Tuesday

Costume of the Gang member


This is the costume of the gang member that is chasing the main character. We have chosen to have him wearing tracksuits as  this is what gang member usually wear when we see them out on the streets. We have made this character wear all grey with a black Coat, as the main character has different colour clothing and he wear red shoes which makes him stand out against the character chasing. Also it is clear to the audience that the character with the red shoes is the one being chased, also we can see this instantly as the main character is wear casual clothing. The shoe is red and this has connotations of him being in danger as he is being chased by a gang member.

Filming Session 2 - Tuesday

Our second filming session went well as we are close to finishing the filming part of our project. We got a lot of shots and we have a range of shots to choose from, we are not limited with footage we have a good range so we can choose from. We filmed in Andover Estate in Holloway again. This filming session we got footage outside the building. We filmed for around 2 hours and we wen over our lesson time. We are planning to start editing by next week. 
Evaluation of our pitch I feel our pitch was very good as we had good content and visuals to back up our idea. We had a suitable logo for the production company which matched our chosen genre. the name for our film suited the genre and I feel complimented the logo very well. We took into consideration certain risks that could apply when filming and decided as a group to use a different location to film in instead. As we understand the certain risks that could apply in our chosen area and we were responsible enough to realise and not take any risks with the cameras and are self being. For my group I did the target audience, wider audience, institutions blogs which involves whether are company is going to be mainstream or independent,the filming schedule and the sound-scape. I managed to use good information and explained each question well. however when doing the production schedule I could of gone into more detail as the exact dates and specific times we would of been filming for. As this would have benefited are whole group and allowed for no confusion which ultimately means we could have possibly have more filming time. Overall I feel are whole group was well prepared and done there chosen blogs very well and accordingly which led to a good title sequence.
