Chopping and Changing

Following up on Ms. Blackborow's feedback, several cuts have been made to shorten our piece. As a result, the sequence is currently 20 seconds shorter than it was yesterday. The sound of the doorbell has been removed, resulting in a more effective opening, which sounds less cheesy and makes more sense, seeing as the attacker is already in the house. The sequence has been tightened, removing frames to cut down the length.
We've also changed the font of the titles to make them less horror- like, and our company has had a changed of identity. Shazam! Productions is no more, and has been replaced with the infinitely more sombre and reserved Eyeless Productions, complete with an actually decent logo.

Editing Update

We know have a complete sequence of shots that match together well. We have captured and incorporated the shots taken on the re-shoot. We will hopefully (fingers crossed) not have to film in the cold, dark, murky alley again. We have added some snazzy titles which include ourselves and a few star-studded friends. We will now try and polish off our opening by tinkering with lighting effects and contrast to achieve a better sense of continuity. After Christmas we hope to have an epic soundtrack in place and accompanying sound effects. That's all Folks!

Titles

Well, today we've successfully managed to put some titles into "The Case." We experimented with the available effects, and we'll need to discuss with Matt and the absent Simon whether they are happy with the placement. We're also yet to make a permenent main title.

Titles appearing throughout film

I though I'd do a quick idea of the sort of font I'd like to see the titles in.
Tell me your thoughts guys.

Here's an example;

Meeting tomorrow!

Meet at the car park ramp about 3pm?
Me and Simon have all the paperwork and lighting sorted, he's leaving it at mine overnight and I'll just take it tomorrow.
Think about shots from the location today. We especially need the interaction between the protagonist and the villain and the start of the clip.

Really struggling to think it through
If people are on tonight we could try exchanging some thoughts about that part?
Are we definitely going to follow the structure;

-2 characters
-Villain escape
-Protagonist close ups
-Villain escape part II
-Protagonist gone & title

Also, I might have a go at coming up with what titles to have throughout the clip if no one else minds and post some rough ideas?

Try and post back tonight so we can have more stuff for tomorrow!
Thanks

Nick (with Simon sitting close by!)

Logo

Just a brief note to remind myself later that the logo needs a bit of editing. Some of the white blood isnt in the writing and so covers up some of the shadow. I can edit this by using a square rubber tool and alligning the different layers. Also some of the blood splatters on closer inspection look like snow, could make them more solid to look like blood. Just a thought.

Will post an updated version this evening.
Maybe with some ideas of the font for the titles and credits throughout the sequence
