Lesson 5

We brainstormed the ideas of what digetic sounds we would hear in our title scene. Some ideas included;
  • Digging sound of the shovel
  • Sound of the zippo before lighting up the cigarette
  • Dragging the body
We also looked at the soundbible website looking for sounds we could use for our title sequence. Then we opened up the garage band software and made our sequence with the digetic sounds.

Lesson 4

We looked at what props we are going to use for the clip, not what the character needs to wear but the way it looks. For example, we are going to use a shovel, so it has to look very old and muddy not a brand spanking new one.

Lesson 3

We started to look at what camera angles we were going to use, we used a camera phone to get still image previews of how the shots looked like. The shot i particulary liked was the shot of kyle pulling the bag. x

Lesson 2 part 2

After looking at example opening sequences, we discussed our idea for the opening sequence in front of the class. We discussed that it would be some sort of burial scene, with kyle burying the body, using a wide vatriety of shots, maybe an arm flopping out of a bag. Also we said that we could put a bit of clear glass over the camera lense and chuck earth on it to end the scene.

magazine cover

I decided to use publisher for my cover because i found it way too confusing using the macs. I have pretty much finished it but all i need is the picture on my cover. I have already taken the picture but disaster struck, my SD memory card got stuck in my laptop so i have to get it out somehow, it was a quality picture as well and i don't think i would be able to take it again. The cover is looking good, i hope i can get the picture on it by next tuesday.
