The Final Product!

Finally our hard-work and determination has produced our final project. What started off as just a sequence of badly drawn pictures and a paragraph is now reality.

Check out our Film opening by clicking it's name below!

Killer Intentions

Non Diegetic Sound

Time for bringing in sound! We all know the sound is a major contender in a film for it creates the atmosphere. We went through various sites looking for sound effects and a specific background score for our film opening.
It was a huge hassle to find ones that actually match the atmosphere we were trying to create. We picked out a basic piano instrumental for the resturant but  more eerie track for the intercutted scenes of what the truth behind their masks is.

The Beginning Of Post Production

Me and my team mate Shiza began the Post Production with the compilation of all the clips. Filtering out the best and adding a variety of shots to the film opening Shiza successfully compiled the whole short film. No editing or sound was added yet apart from the digetic sound itself. The compilation was done in Adobe Premiere Pro 6.
It includes a varation of shots and sequences with inter cutting.
I took the compilation and edited it with my own ideas as well. Though these were just minor changes we have compiled the whole short film and now are left with two jobs:
Sound and further editing.

Title Research

Because the titling is one of the important aspects of a film opening, I decided to go researching on a website called http://www.artofthetitle.com.
This site had the title sequences of many movies and drama series.
Of course because I wasn't including animation in my short film I decided to take ideas of what style and concept they have when it comes to the wording and the font.
Personally for my film opening I wanted something minimalistic with a mysterious edge.
The three sequences above are the ones I liked especially for the font out of the many many there.
 

Filming Day 4: The Date

The previous shooting for the scenes of the date were much similar to these. This time the setting was changed to a casual restaurant and unlike last time, the actresses face was shown. Another difference was that this time the actor too had to have a mysterious air around him, He was no longer the naive business man but a serial killer in disguise.

This time the shoot went smoothly. Dialouges were involved and there was a mysterious aura around both the actors. It took a while for them to loosen up and delve in their role but over all the shoot went good.
The lighting was perfect throughout in my opinion and we kept the continuity in check.
Nikmateen my group member headed the sound so that it goes flawlessly.

I did the direction and managed the work of a cinematographer plus the setting.
