Guidance Rating


As this film is suppose to be a adventure for children I will give the film a guidance rating of a "U" or a "PG", as these can be seen by all children. A "PG" can only be seen under the age of eight years old unless they are supervised by an adult.

All of the music

When I did the music I tried to compose a totally different type of music each time so that we would be able to change the mood of the sequence by having different types of music. I found this fact out by watching the special features of the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" DVD. The music we finally chose for the final cut was the really cheesy music so it would attract the audience’s attention and keep them interested in watching the rest of the film. We changed the volume in the music to make it more interesting and we had it go right up to the blast when the two different people are in the same world. The other type of music that I composed for this was a more relaxing music where it kept changing from happy to sad but I had to be very careful as the whole piece of music was in a major key. I also tried different tempos to change the intensity of the sequence.

music for the group video



This is the music which we would have used for the group filming if it was going to be the final cut, however because of the unfortunate discovery that we had insufficient footage, we decided to go further with this, and to go back and concentrate with the original footage, so that we would have time to edit it before the deadline, was was quite a good choice because, in the original footage compared with the footage that we shot altogether, there is more going on with a variety of shots and they where a good enough length to cut down, to fit in with the footage. While the one that we shot together, the footage, was not long enough, and the there was not a large amount of shot angles that would improve the footage.

Now for the musical technical side. I used my favorite format for composing which is the minimalism build up style. This is where tracks keep repeating and the and the different keep laying over each other to make texture. I added the people talking to make it sound as if it was a disc jokey. I wanted to make a heavy rock music as the majority of young people like that type of music and as it is and opening sequence for young people we would need to make it something that would attract their attention. Plus, as it is an opening sequence I thought that it should be more uplifting and get it the audience motivated. As the music is really long I added in lyrics that was built in to the Soundtrack Pro Software. I found that when I played the music I could imagine me being in a club dancing to this music, as it is very similar to the club music. So therefore, we didn't use it as it would not be suitable for a PG or 12A film.

Filming with Group:

This week I managed to finally do some filming with my group, we successfully organized our roles so that we knew what we where doing, we found some ideal locations which where not too far away so that we could shoot during lessons.
However unfortunately the footage was insufficient, and we did not have as much going on as in the original footage, which made it less exciting, and a bit boring, so we edited it into the sequence and then went back to the original footage to improve on it.
This is the one that does not work as well.

Final Cut

This final cut shows you the opening to our film "The Line that Cracked' I thought that this title was appropriate because it discretely tells you what the film is about for example the bit about the line that cracked tells you that two things that where not supposed to meet have met, meaning the boy from the real world and the boy from the fantasy world. The title also shows the boundaries of the emotions between the two, and how they differ, as how they are the same.

Problems:

Due to my group being absent for a large portion of the time we where supposed to be doing the work I have had to do the majority of the editing by my self as well as trying my best to keep us up to date with all the work.
Luckily however I did manage to do some filming, with at least one member of my group, however the footage was unfortunately not sufficient enough to create an effective opening sequence. so I have gone back to editing the original footage to create the 'Final Cut'.
