Feedback

We realised that the baby crying was slightly crossing the boundaries so we thought it would be a good idea to get some feedback. We received mix feelings about it but overall, as a group, we decided that we liked the shocked reaction and thought it represented the conventions of the psychological thriller genre that we were aiming for.

Reaction to opening

We showed Shaileyee our rough footage to get some feedback for what we could improve and what she thought overall. This is what she said:

Change of Music

Tara showed us this song and we all thought it would fit perfectly with our film. we tried it and it did! We asked the group for thier opions and with some mixed feedback, as a group we decided that we liked this one better.

Film Draft

This is a draft of our final film. A few things still need to be edited though.

Film Title

We have decided to push the boundaries a little bit and have a sound of a baby crying when the shot of  the boot is shown as well as the young girl calling for 'help'. We thought having a nursery rhyme as the title links well to this and it also creates a sinister tone-linking to the genre. We researched some lyrics of well known nursery rhymes but liked 'rock a bye baby' the best.

  I really liked the line 'when the wind blows' but this is already a film so we couldn't use it. However, 'when the bough breaks' was also a line we thought would work quite well as 'breaks' has connotations of something damaged which relates the protagonist's mental state. 

Title Sequence Research #2

'The Walking Dead' series has an amazing title sequence which helps create an eery, sinister tone which reflects on the context of the show. I especially like the way the titles quickly cut and not fade like most do.

As well as 'Teen Wolf' being my favorite programme at the moment, it also has an amazing title sequence. The font, the transitions, everything!

Title Sequence Research

Every Tv show or film I watch has now changed from, looking at the camera angles and shots, to the title sequences. I particularly liked the title in the crime drama 'Line of Duty' but I can't find a clip to show the fade in and out transitions. Here is the font they used which is also great, and I think this would suit our film genre really well.

The size in font changes when it reveals the name of the programme 'Line of Duty' which gives it a more dramatic effect. 

Another title sequence that caught my eye was from 'Easy A'. 

I think the lining up of the writing on the floor etc. is really cool and I liked the idea of having one title unravel from the wheel of the taxi onto the road. Unfortunately this not possible to do on iMovie so we can't.
