reshoot day 4

We used today to reshoot the Door scene using the Steadicam whilst we were doing we decided to reshoot a few other clips such as the calender, rings and shooting.

We ended up re shooting a lot of the sequence in order to keep continuity between all the shots and as we were using a different camera we had to keep similar quality to the rest of the sequence we have.  

This was our last chance to reshoot everything needed and I felt it went well.

fourth cut



This is the fourth cut of our title sequence. we have added the smoothcam affect using the method discussed in a earlier post, due to the problems faced using the smoothcam we have decided to reshoot the clip using a steady cam

Re-shot day 3

Today we reshot the plane scene in order to make the shot smoother, we invented a unique contraption in order to make to diagonal movement smooth, to make the smooth movement we use a plank of wood and an book with the camera balanced on top, we filmed the camera moving up the plane but decided it may be easier to film the shot moving down due the gravity, and we'd reverse it on final cut.

We also planed to reshoot the door scene but it was raining so we couldn't get the shot, we will instead use the Smoothcam on the clip

Second Cut



This is the second cut to our title sequence, in it we have re-shot the shooting part of the sequence and have added more clips of our female character, we have also re-shot the part of the female character reading the magazine.

We have also move the credit positioning in the clip
we noticed some of the clips were shaky so we planned to re-shot them.
people still though that the male character looked like he was going to kill the female  

Using Smoothcam

As per our feedback we decided to add the SmoothCam effect to our title sequence to stop the shake
that was on some of our clips.
We started by quick time converting the clips we wanted to add the effect to and then replacing them in the sequence .

then we applied the SmoothCam effect to the clips we wanted.

We faced issues with the SmoothCam as the effect wouldn't render on our Mac users so to get around it we took a screen recording of the clip working in the pre-rendered stage and placed that into the sequence, this has caused the clip to look jumpy though  

Feedback of Third cut


                                                      







This is the feedback for our third cut of our title sequence, overall it is good feedback with only minor improvements on the cameras smoothness in the movements, there was confusion about the door number so we have decided to change that to a full door shot.
