A video showing how we edited part of our film and our use of Final Cut Express. I also added music from two Neo-Noir films we have looked at to keep it within the film noir genre of my coursework.

Film Noir Poster Research
Film Noir Poster Research
For my ancillary task, I did some research into previous film noir posters, looking at both original film noir and neo noir posters to see if there are any common themes used throughout. I created this presentation using Microsoft Powerpoint 2010 and then put it onto Slideshare so that I could put it onto my blog.

Possible film titles
Possible film titles
We came up with different ideas for what to call our film and Lib put some of them, with their pro's and con's, into a prezi to help us decide which to use for our film.

Filming Diary Day 7 - Hitchin
Filming Diary Day 7 - Hitchin
A video and pictures from yesterday's filming in Hitchin. I added the song New Tattoo by James Arthur to make the video more interesting. I felt that this song, despite being modern, had a jazzy feel to it with the guitar and drum beat and so I felt it would keep with the Film Noir style of my coursework.

Editing Update
Editing Update
We were having so much difficulty using Final Cut to begin editing so today we decided to transfer all the files we have so far and start again on a new window of Final Cut. The photos below show us putting the different clips onto Final Cut in a rough chronological order. We haven't started to properly edit any of the clips yet but we thought it would help to get what we wanted so that we have a starting point.

We created a spider diagram of some possible names for our film, including why we thought they would be appropriate. Cassia sped up the video and added music from Brick to make it apply more to our film noir genre.

Filming Day 5
Filming Day 5
Unfortunately, I could not be there to film on Thursday but from what I hear it went pretty much to plan however the group were not able to fit everything in and so we need to make another trip to Hitchin at some point. Emily made a prezi with pictures from the filming.

Our Logo
Our logo was created by Rhys who very kindly helped us out and managed to turn our design into an actual moving logo. We may slow it down when we add it to our film but we are all very pleased with the finished product.
Logo Designs
Logo designs
Last night i drew up two possible designs for our logo.
This first design is a clock face with the two hands saying 'Clockwork Productions.' Whilst we like the simplicity of this one we thought it might be too plain and boring and so decided to use the second design.
As a group we agreed that this design looked more professional and interesting. We thought we could have the cogs moving to make it look good and catch people's eyes. Overall, we prefer this design and so this will be the one we use for our film.

Institution Research
We looked at different film noirs and their institutions as a starting point for our research into institutions. We then looked into more depth into each institution as can be seen in the power point below.
