Today we showed our teacher the final cut of our title sequence and she thought it looked quite good. Then I took photos of the cast members and uploaded them - we all added them to our blog and wrote a caption for both the people used in our title sequence. Now we have to finish off everything in the tick list. Also we need to add screen shots of the editing process and our music research and our final song.

We made the finishing touches to our title sequence today and made sure the title sequence ran very smoothly. We are really proud of how our title sequence has turned out. From our previous showing, we have adjusted all of the points that were addressed from the audience and made sure every section of our title sequence is perfect.

At the start of today's lesson we all sat around the board and watched different title sequences to keep us on track of how our title sequences should look. Our teacher asked us to have our sequences as near to finished as we could get them so then we could have a presentation at the end of the lesson. So to be able to finish our title sequence our only task for the lesson was to find some music. We found some classical - type music and we thought we should play it alongside our title sequence to see if it suited and it did! It works really well and we really like it - Also  it works so well that we don't have to manipulate the song so it fits. It is quite a fast paced song but suits the pace of our sequence. All we have to do in next lesson is make the final edits like making things fade-in and out and thats about it. After we finish that we are done.
Feedback:
-Fade out our titles as they just disappear.
-Make some final tweeks to tighten it all up.
-Change 'A Sparky Productions' to 'A Sparky Production'.

We have nearly finished our title sequence. Our two main priorities now are to find music to fit in with our title sequence, this is proving to be harder than we expected as in the second half of the sequence the pace gets faster as the character is running so we are trying to find music that has a faster bit towards the end. The second target we are hoping to achieve by the end of lesson is to make the titles and put them into our title sequence. We have decided to use the same text for the names as the text we used for our title 'Seized'.

 We are looking to create the effect where all the titles jump and move around in a distressed way. To make this we had to cut the film into tiny chunks and move them slightly. This worked very well and we nearly finished it by the end of our lesson so we are hoping to finish it by the end of next lesson.

Chosen Production logo.

"With each of the previous production logo's we used a white background with black imagery and typography; in this design we used a negative effect to vary our possible options. The typography resembles the different strokes of the feather. In this design we were able to incorporate all the different elements we realised from our first few designs. The contrast of the white on the black creates a softness to the image without losing the sharpness on points of the feather. So far this is the design which we are most likely to use in our opening title sequence as it fits in with the whole look of the sequence."

We chose this for our final production logo as we could easily incorporate this into our title sequence without difficulty as the black background was simple to add in on 'Final Cut pro'.

Today we have managed to add much more to our title sequence by including our production logo, the Lionsgate opening sequence and our title. Myself and Daisy had the job of starting to look for the music that we are going to include in our title sequence. However, this we proving harder than we originally thought. We had to make sure that the music wasn't too over-dramatic otherwise it would take the originality away from the genre. We don't want this as it will make our title sequence look and sound really cliched.

During today's lesson we have furthered our editing process, and updated our blogs. As a group we have decided some bits were best cut out from our original idea. We hope this will make an overall outcome that is better than the original plan.
