Filming - Final Scene

The fifth and final scene is definitely the most important in our short film and we took the most amount of time filming this scene. It starts off with the main character Jack waking up as we have seen previously but this time it has a sense of urgency and does not mess around making toast. We see him walking through the urban areas of the city the soundscape of the city will be crucial here to make the viewer really feel like they are there.

 

 

We then see the character preparing himself in the pedestrian subway awaiting the arrival of the hitman. I felt this is the most powerful location we chose to film in as it really sets the scene for where a murder could take place.

 

Finally the story wraps up and in the final few shots you can really see why we have called our short film "Blood Ties".

 

 

 

The

Updated Foley Sound

As we have started editing the scenes we have filmed so far, we are starting to think of ideas that will make the post production of our short film run smoother. 

Because our short film is fairly long as has a lot of content, especially sound, we have come to the conclusion that the editing software we are using, Serif Movie Plus is not powerful enough to handle the large amount of media we are importing into it and as a result of this is taking a lot longer to edit. As you can see in the screenshot I have taken from the program above, there is a lot going on. 

Therefore we have decided to do things professionally and edit video and sound separately, we will edit all the film without any sound in serif. Then import the video in garageband. Garageband is a very good program for editing sound, the reason why we are using this other Logic Pro (What we used last year). Garageband allows me to import a video and edit the sound alongside it. It also has all the same editing tools we need to edit the sound to how we like. I have added a screenshot below so you can get an idea of what I mean.
