Final Film: Dark Days

Editing video and sound

These are screen shots of final cut pro, garage band and soundtrack pro. All of these programs allowed us to get the right video and sounds we wanted in our film. With the help of these programs it allowed us to add effects in the video and put in sound effects.

The characters in our story are two teenagers, with two very different back-rounds. We decided to do this to contrast the two characters.

The first two times we filmed we had problems with actors, such as actors not being as co-operative as we needed and actors not showing up at all. We learned trough this that we needed to be more organised throughout the process of filming etc...

Our last time of filming we decided not to use actors because we didn't want to go through the hassle of using them. Instead we used two of our group members.

This is our third and final location. This was perfect because it was not near any roads, houses etc... so we didn't have to worry about people or sounds we didn't want. Because this was our final time filming we had all day to go there and make sure we filmed what we needed to film. The mise-en-scene of this location was perfect for what we were trying to achieve by choosing this sort of location.

This location seemed to prove successful for the genre of our film. This had good lighting, seclusion unlike our first location but the only problem was the standard of filming that we produced in this location. After this we knew our problems and knew exactly what to do and how to do it.

This was our first location chosen as a group. After filming we found that this location didn't work for our film because it was too open. In our script we needed a secluded place to fit the story etc...
