News Backdrop Change


For our title sequence we filmed Mr. Grimsley reporting our news report which we use on different occasions in the sequence. (This blogged under Production Log 2) We used a green screen for this shot in which we would choose a backdrop that was appropriate. Back drop number 1 was a blue spinning earth which from our rough cut feedback wasn't very popular with our teachers and students as they thought it didn't look very realistic for a news studio and made it look a little tacky. 

First Backdrop used:



Me and Frankie discussed the feedback given and decided that a real news studio backdrop would look more professional and settled with the red BBC news backdrop.

Final Backdrop used:

London riots

In our title sequence we used two short clips from the real London Riots because we feel that the footage linked to our sequence and would make it more effective. When we was gaining feedback we was asked by someone if a shot that we had filmed our self was taken from somewhere else.
To make it clear here are the two parts that we used from the real London riots:

Costume and Props used

As part of our title sequence we had dan wearing a gas mask in different shots. We also had any other actors in the shots in doctors masks. In every shot to represent his social class Dan was dressed in black jeans, a black hoody, a black coat and the vans above. If anyone else was in the shot they would be wearing a hoody too and something similar. In the news report mr Grimsley had a suit on which is what a news reporter stereotypically wears.

Feedback from Rough Cut

These are our feedback sheets from our rough cut that we presented to the class today. The feedback given is for us to add our final adjustments to our title sequence in order to make our deadline on Thursday 12 March when we have to present the final title sequence. People commented on the effects that we used and thought they were too heavy causing some of scenes harder to see making them less effective. Comments also made were that we hadn't finished the news report green screen shots where we needed to add in a news background and suggestions were given on what to add. We also hadn't completely finished the typography which we knew needed to be done. Lastly as we had added effects on some of the shots we had feedback that it looked odd that some were effected and some were not so considering adding effects to all shots would be a good idea.
