Audience Feedback

although we hadn't finished editing, we decided to ask a number of people from other groups to watch our raw material and give us feedback on it. obviously we wasn't expecting to receive great reviews just yet, as our film still lacked sound. however we were told we used a wide range of camera angles and shots. we were also told the footage kept the audience guessing as it kept them at the edge of their seat (what we had aimed for :] ) this could be because the audience would not be expecting a female terrorist.
the main criticism we received was to tidy up our transitions - of which we also agreed on. we were also told parts of the scene seemed too repetitive and lacked momentum. we will aim to rectify these issues in the time left.

To Do

• finalise the length
• overcome the music syncronisation
• finalise editing
• put in credits
• record the radio extract - news report
• finalise on live type

although there is still alot to do, in limited time, as a group we have agreed to stay behind on a number of days to complete everything.

editing

when editing we came across several problems. firstly, we realised we did not have enough footage as we had to edit out the retakes of scenes. this would not be a problem for larger scale productions as they would have time to re think their ideas, and possibly shoot more footage. secondly, when editing our sound track we came across a number of problems, as we had two very good pieces of music we didn't want to have either/or we wanted both, however this meant they would not be in sync. thirdly, 3 members of the group opted to have a mini black out between the production logo, main titles and the start of the sequence. they also wanted to have the music to cut out during this blackout. however i made a point that having both a blackout and no sound, is unprofessional and we would look armature. they stated it was a way to combat the synchronising of the tracks, however i pointed out that if we were to have the mini blackout we would need to have the music to fade out and start right back in, in order to keep the audience engaged throughout. this matter is still being addressed.

Final Filming

our final filming was completed on tuesday 16th march.
as we decided to cut of the heathrow scene due to complications such as, permission, time and caste shortage. this worked as an advantage as we were able to focus our entire attention on one perticular moment. we decided to hold the filming in the house of the terrorist. we also made some rash decisions regarding our 2minute oppening sequence, as we decided to have a female terrorist rather than male, this way we would be chalanging steryotypes. one other reason we did this was becuase of cast shortage, as we were forced to reshoot several times. of course if this was a production by a large filming company they wouldnt have these problems, as they would have the correct insurence to shoot at high security, public places such as airports. they would also have alternative opptions available if location became a problem. lage companies would also have understudies for the import roles.

Live Type

in todays lesson we were introduced to Live Type, a professional editing software, we took a title sequence and added our own titles.

Final Logo Design

after producing two completely different logo designs: one creative and the other smart and sophisticated, we put the decision to a vote. after the group was torn in two, we decided to ask an independent judge. the final design became the sophisticated design.

Plot

For our thriller film, the idea of basing it around terrorism and conflict was something that we as a group liked. However we did come across some issues which made us change some of the aspects from the original plot.




The plot of the thriller movie 'Flight 777' is about a young man (Austin) who wants to stand against those who believe in Freemasonry. Another character in the movie is a Freemason (Senator) and so Austin sees that the only way he can solve his anger and frustration is by boarding the same plane as the Senator, and threatening his life.




When brainstorming the plot we had to be careful about who and what we included. An idea was brought up to the table that the young boy (Austin) would be part of the Al Qaeda group. However this could cause unnesesary conflict anad also may offend some people.




Another problem that we encountered when brainstorming the plot was the idea of terrorism. Terrorism is a very sensitive subject to some people and may have a direct link to their life. The fact that different types of war and conflict are going on may raise issues. However we came to the conclusion that by having a terrosit plot, it would engage more of an audience and mroe people would be able to relate to it.

Research on Freemasonry

Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around 5 million, including just under two million in the United States and around 480,000 in England, Scotland and Ireland.

The various forms all share a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being
