Production: Contra zoom Tests

Posted on 01:43 by The Coalition | 0 comments


After many failed attempts of the contra zoom, with he use of a skateboard, we fortunately got our hands on a dolly. This gave the shot more stability, and the zoom is more steady and apparent, rather then slight, there is a constant flow of the zoom. Test three is by far my favourite, how ever there was a conflict of ideas and another member connotes a sense of an angelic being, which is too far from the truth. However i believed this signified to an audience was a sense of a twisted, dream like reality, however it was two against one and i lost to a democracy. The shots are quite shaky, because of the floor we were working on, however, as an artist, I have fully experience the saying, that most of the greatest creations, amount from a mistake. The shaky shot shot signifies to the audience the mental state of Efa, her nerves are all over the place, shes just been re introduced to her long lost imaginary friend, and she venerable, sitting curled up on the floor,  hopefully after the final cut, this is apparent.

Production: Setbacks

Having experienced Absent actors and Computer network difficulties, our schedule was severly set back.
Filming and Editing had to be put on hold because of the issues.
Nina's accident rendered her unable to match acting times,
Emmanuel Falade who had been mildly hard to reach and the technicians allowing the server to drop out, resulting in the loss of files on our Desktop, which were vital for editing.

Editing: Session 1

We sat down to put together our title sequence using shot that will connect it to the first inciting incident as well as introducing the audience to the main character Efah. We used Adobe After Effects to create the dynamic text using functions such as motion tracking  & 3D text layers to enhance them. Once rendered out we fitted all the shots together using Adobe premiere, the shots and text work really well alongside each other which adds to a very powerful title sequence.
