OTS Feedback


Sound Track Records

I wanted to record the song that we were going to use on a record player to give it a crinkly crisp sound that vinyl has to fit with the style of the footage we have and the story line.
The first record that I got to test with the footage was unfortunately scratched so it jumped. We after tested the digital version with the footage and we found the pace wrong for the footage.
 

 


 
I then saw a band live and one of there songs had the right pace for our footage. I brought the record after the gig and recorded it into an MP3 on my record player. It had the right masculinity and high energy that we needed and I've chosen it for our OTS.

After deciding that we wanted to use another song because it fitted the footage better we emailed the record company/band that owned it. We waited for a reply but did not receive one.

Title Development 2







Whilst finishing the text I thought that it may look better scrunched rather than stained as it would look neater, cleaner and a lot easier to read. The audience may have been distracted by stains from the coffee or holes which I had burnt in the paper. The image still has a distressed look but I have made it look like this in a different way which is better suited to the OTS. It fits in with the smart crisp shirts that the actors are wearing. The text is off centre to give it a more candid casual feel. If it were to be completely in line it would not go with the nature of the story line. The footage that we have is dark and the bright contrast of the white paper was to distracting to use. It distracted my eyes after the dark scenes. I inverted it which I think works really well as the creases and dirty pen marks show through. 

On our OTS I inserted a white flash transition between the last piece of fotage and the image of the title of the film we have created. The screen hots above show the change in light of the title and the last still of footage. 

Props for OTS


Holli was incharge of reserching, finding and getting the props for our OTS. This is a basic image of the props that were used. Holli has a more information about them on her blog.

Title Development



These pages are from me developing a style of text. It will be used for the main title of the film. I may stain it with coffee or tea to make it look slightly aged. The textures will show through in the OTS even though it will be in black and white. This will look better than clean, plain cartridge paper.

Actors for OTS



The actors we have chosen are male and have the look of the era which we are setting out OTS in. We may need a third person to help us film the outside scene but so far we have worked well with two.
