Artefact 2

On creating my ideas for my second artefact I have decided that I am going to create the opening of a horror movie, specifically the opening of a zombie film, I find that this also fits in with the recent revival of this specific subgenre of horror. My first and probably most difficult obstacle will be how to make the film look professional and not too obscenely gory and ridiculous given my extremely low budget. The story board which I originally created has now been added to and done properly on A3 but has yet to be put onto any computer and therefore is not yet on this blog. My next step is to research the genre that I have chosen to get more ideas, techniques and to further the development of my story board, which will be on here soon.

Edited

After having shot the film we have now also edited it too, and it went pretty smoothly I have to admit, although with one or two slight hitches towards the end, I love the beginning of our piece with Larissa walking up to the door I noticed that there was glitch type noise at the end of the clip so I snipped it off making sure that her approach to the door matched to where she was relative to the door in the clip previous. As she enters through the door the clip through the pane of glass actually had another member of our class in, luckily we were able to edit him out so that the shot looked ok. The next real point was getting the transition from the hallway to the classroom ok this didn’t take too long and I found finally that I was happy with what came out. After this the conversation scene was next, and the two pieces of film that we had shot had to be put together smoothly, I cut them and adjusted the two pieces so that it ran smoothly, the only hitch was that the last shot of Lauren speaking was cut a bit too short towards the end, something to bear in mind next time.
