Titles

We have started making the titles for the introduction based on the film Seven, as I like the scratchy jumpy effect. At the moment we have just hand-written some names on to paper ready to be scanned into photoshop and put on to after effects, however typed writing might look neater.

Tracking

Some of the shots for my film introduction were too unsteady so I tried to track them using a program called After Effects. This worked fine for part of the intro but there wasn't enough contrast in the rest of the shots for them to be tracked. I've decided to leave it and not track anything because it'd look uneven if only half of it was tracked, however I have uploaded part of it which I managed to track; I had to cut a lot out of it and the letterboxes are too wide.  
I think the unsteady effect gives the audience a point-of-view impression as if they are walking along the pathway, which is the effect I wanted to create, even though it would probably look a lot better if it was steadier.

Production so far...

Been to la pulente with Sophie twice to film and the first time we couldn't figure out how to use the camera but we managed to get some good shots done the second time. However the lighting settings on the camera were wrong and some of the scenes were way too bright so we're going to have to re-do some of the shots on Monday 9th. We'll try to get as much done as possible because it's quite hard to get lifts there and back as it's pretty far away.
