Production Blog: Finishing Touches

 

opening sequence, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it's shaping up. The progress we've made is truly remarkable, and I'm incredibly proud of our efforts.

However, as with any creative endeavor, there have been some unexpected challenges along the way. Uploading the video to Vimeo proved to be more difficult than anticipated, with my computer once again refusing to cooperate. After scouring through help forums for solutions, I managed to resolve the issue, albeit after spending about 15 frustrating minutes.

Once the video was finally uploaded, I encountered a familiar problem—poor resolution. The sequence appeared grainy and outdated, reminiscent of footage captured on ancient cameras. Determined to rectify Hello, bloggers, and welcome back to my blog! We're approaching the final stages of completing our this, I adjusted the frame rate and video quality, albeit at the cost of a longer export time, which took roughly 30 minutes.

After sharing the video with my friends for their feedback, I was dismayed to discover that the cropping issues persisted, particularly affecting crucial scenes like our breakfast sequence. It was disheartening to see key elements, such as myself and the bread, being cropped out. I promptly returned to Vimeo to readjust the video's framing to ensure it aligned perfectly with the platform's format.

While the audio remained intact, I couldn't help but notice that the dialogue was somewhat quieter than desired. However, the music, which effectively set the mood throughout the sequence, especially towards the end, was perfectly balanced.

I almost forgot to mention our final touch—a slow, ominous ticking sound added to the latter part of the sequence, designed to heighten the audience's anticipation. With this addition, our original opening sequence is now complete, and I'm eager to share it with all of you very soon.

Thank you for following along on this journey, bloggers. Your support means the world to me. Here's to an exciting day ahead!

Our Pitch

Image
  These are our pitches we came up with for our opening sequence  Pitch A: A group of students plan out an innocent camping trip and begin to find out that there is something out there, something watching them the entire time. Pitch B: A family hires a personal chef, the chef sneakily steals items from their house covering his tracks no matter the cost. Pitch A seemed a little cliche to us at first but it was a very feasible idea that could still be loads of fun and really well produced. We found that it would be simpler to use effective music in a thriller as there are loads more films and media work using suspenseful music. We also had a slight plan as to where we would film the sequence, Oleta State Park. We also had the camping equipment necessary for the props and costumes allowing our budgets to be put towards other things. I also enjoy being out in the woods and it would bring the mood up around the production team. Pitch B on the other hand I found to be pretty unique and somet

The conventions used in my music video were very similar to the conventions I did research on. They were used to really bring out the vibe or genre of the video.  I stayed with the same genre that was said I researched on as it was a  song more into the pop genre with a storytelling side of it. The story behind it was meant to be sad so certain styles, editing, and acting was done to make sure that was shown in the video. Our video was meant to show a common issue that occurs very often around the world. The issue we were trying to present was people losing their loved ones including pets, and how they must deal with it because it can’t be helped. So to do that we made a video of a girl that was growing up with her dog and then the dog became ill and had to be put down. The video  shows that no ma
