As a group we discussed that the title of the film would be best to go the the end of the opening. After speaking to Mr Henton he told us about a programme called LiveType which is a program that allows you to create a title using different effects.

After trying several different ways we finally came up with one that we thought looked good and best suited the genre. We also added an image to our distribution company to make it look more realistic.

We completed the ending of our horror film. We also began to think about the names we had come up with for the title and narrowed it down to 'Unlocked'.

30/03/11

We finished the rough opening of our horror film and began to think about what out title of our film should be, also what where we was going to add it and the type of effects we was going to use.

We added our rough ending onto a memory stick as a quicktime movie. We then produced a questionnaire about our opening and asked 8 sixth form students to watch our film and fill out the questionnaire. We did this because we thought it would help us improve our opening.

Evaluation of questionnaire

From the results of the questionnaire we were able to see that all 8 of our respondents though that our opening was a horror film. 6 of our respondents belived that it was a opening to a horror film while the other 2 though it was an ending and in the middle of the film. Also we was able to that 6 of our respondents would like to see the remainder of the film. When we asked what they liked about out opening of our film 6 of our respondents said they liked the music and sound effects. We also asked what the believe could be improved 4 of the respondents said that the text message could be longer so the audience could read it properbly. This was extremely helpful as it meant that we could go back and extend the clip of the message. The remaining respondents thought that the weather was a bit too bright for 6.45am.

We uploaded the footage we filmed on the 28/03/11 and managed to get a further 1 minute and 11 seconds of footage from 12 clips. Once the footage was uploaded we began to edit them into out opening.

28/03/11

At 3pm we went back to the location we have been filming at and began to film the ending. We was meant to have a male actor to be in the ending but due to personal reasons he was unable to attend. Therefore we had tried to make chloe our actress look like a man, we did this by giving her male trousers, shoes and jacket with a hood so her face wasn't seen.

24/03/11

We discussed ways to end our opening to our horror film and we came up with the following ideas..

After discussing each opening, we came to a decision that the most suitable and exciting ending to have is where somebody walks into Chloe's house and the opening ends on the mans hand on her bedroom door.
We continued to edit our opening and after today we believe that the opening has come together nicely. After learning different types of ways to add in credits into the footage we began adding more of them in over the top of our footage. Now all of the credits have been added into our opening.
