Experimenting

Today, we experimented and practiced our talking scene in the T.V Studio. Unfortunately, we deleted the practice shots, so can't upload them. It was suggested that we experiment with humour in our film, since we take inspiration from Pulp Fiction. It is something we are considering and experimenting with.

Title Sequence Ideas

An idea I have for the title sequence of our film, is to have white text fade in and out across the bottom of the screen as the cross-cut takes place. A similar idea is the intro to reservoir dogs, which has a golden font fade in and out at the bottom, with footage of characters in the background.

Ours will be similar to this, but white instead of gold, and will run through all our intro.

Filming

Today, we filmed our bank robbery scenes, and the scenes where the two characters pickup the weapons. We introduced two new characters, the 'dealer', the man who drops off the weapons, and the cashier, a bank employee. The scenes we filmed today will run in-between the discussion in the form of a cross-cut. We still need to film our 'robbery planning' clips in the T.V studio, which we hope to get done by Wednesday. Alfie has also transcoded the footage off the camera, so that it will run more smoothly with editing software, such as Final Cut Pro. We're pleased with our footage today, which is better than we thought it would be. My role was as the 'dealer' character, and as the main camera operator.

Animatic

Today, I edited 9 pictures we took for our film. Using Adobe Photoshop, I made the pictures look somewhat like sketches. I then sent the pictures to Alfie to complete the animatic.
