We have now shot, captured and edited just about everything we need for the opening to our noir thriller titled 'Slow Burn' and after viewing it we are fairly satisfied. What we had planned was fairly ambitious when you consider the number of locations we had to use and this meant we fell behind shedule abit, we also had to do a couple of re-shoots which didn't help. However we enjoyed a fairly productive session on tuesday as we were able to do all the reshoots and the shots still to be completed, including the flashbacks (which will be mentioned in the treatment) in the first half and then in the second half were able to edit them in to what we already had saved. The final piece is not fully complete as yet as we need to distinguish the flashbacks quite effectively and dramatically from the rest of the sequence by editing them in black & white to add to the noir feel. As for the re-shoots we have eliminated the continuity error found in the shots just before the start of the chase. The weather unfortunately caused us some problems as the Sun which had been missing for the original shoots came out for the re-shoots. We have tried our best to cover this up as much as we can and without the continuity problem the scene does now look smoother and more polished than before.
In Tuesdays lesson we also managed to find a piece of music with a tempo and a tone suitable enough for the chase scene. We also managed to find a seperate track which provided a build-up to the chase which was especially useful as it allowed for a smooth transition between the slow pace and melancholy feel of the opening shots and music compared with the much urgent and dramatic feel of the chase itself.
Overall I feel our group have made alot of progress in the last week and with a brief 10-15 minute polish of the final piece at the beginning or just before next tuesdays lesson our project should be ready for viewing.
