Childrens Film Opening - Final

Last lesson of editing. Progress.

We have been told that we have been cut 1 lesson short to edit and make the music. This gives us 1 hour and a half to finish the majority of the clips music, and tweak the editing to make it better in anyway. Currently we are trying to find a beat to bring into the new scene when the football playing starts. This is to show that a more exciting activity is taking place, and the main theme of the movie is about football.

1st lesson of editing progress.

During todays lesson we hope to create the sound track for our children's film 'Safe Hands'. So far we have created the very first scene, and the music develops and cresendos to warm in to the film. We have stopped the music with the entrance of any dialogue, so the words spoken can be heard. As Liam goes outside onto the football pitch the music starts again, to let the audience know the action has become more exciting and up beat. Once Liam realises his gloves are magical, an even heavier beat is added, to show that even more exciting action is coming.

Progress so far

We have been given our 3 filming lessons and we feel we have progressed a lot. We managed to film all our clips, but one, in the first filming lesson, and upload them onto the Macs. This gave us an advantage of 2 more lessons to edit with, which we used well.
Unfortunately with the absence of Jack, we lacked team support, but eventually we managed to upload and string together the clips so it made sense. After we did this we added a fade in fade out to the beginning clips so the audience can 'warm in' to the viewing of this children's movie.
During the second lesson of editing without Jack we focused on the beginning credits. This proved difficult but we learnt many new skills including how to fade out credits and how to move the text about the screen. We incorporated these skills into the children's film beginning sequence.
In the sequence we also learnt how to modify the speed of the clip and also learnt how to reverse a clip. These skills are also used in our children's film.
During the next few lessons we will hope to make the sound track for the film on Garage Band and tweak any minor problems with the opening sequence.
