Finished Intro

My finished introduction, the result of two months of filming, re-shooting and editing.

Editing

For editing I used the software Final Cut Express, below are a few screenshots of the editing process where the overlaid text, footage and sound can be seen.

This is an overall view of the workspace where you can see the preview window, the audio mixer, the content selection window and the audio and video tracks.

 This is the audio and video tracks for the beginning of my intro.

This audio and video track is from the end of my intro.

As you can see it can get very mixed and confusing when it's all in one piece together, which is why a good naming system and good use of multiple layers is essential.

Production Companies

Another problem I'm facing in my introduction was the logos and names of the various studios and companies that complement the main staff through sound engineering, VFX, etc. To create these logos I'm going to take existing logos and put a creative spin on them to make then new, unique logos that I can use as my own.

Title Image and Screen

Below is the title screen as seen in my short introduction, with my chosen title and the 'STALKER' font:

Lessons Learnt Two

First of all, clear a route for our filming to take place on to avoid falls and blockages, etc next time we try to film. Second, bring a charger, unfortunatly this was not possible last time due the charger having been taken out already. Lastly, an organised schedule and plan is still key, getting everyone together and getting done what needs getting done is still my highest priority.

Attempt at Filming Two

Over the week between 7th and 14th of February, we attempted to film twice. While the second attempt failed to even begin, the first attempt was slightly more successful, we managed to meet at midday and we began to film the few action shots first. Unfortunately, the environment which we'd chosen (Woodland) and the muddy conditions mixed with many downed branches made this a very difficult task. After around 30 minutes of filming, the battery then failed, leaving us without a camera.
