The Clock Face

The other day whilst at my friends house i spotted in the corner of my eye a clock very similar to the one i had originally pictured for the title sequence, i explained to her that i needed to record a clock for a few hours for some media work. She allowed me to do this. i set my phone up so it was facing the clock and recorded for a few hours. here's an image of the clock face from a screen shot i took from the video on my phone.

The image has decided to zoom in considerably, i don't know why. Nevertheless here it is!

My Job

Since the job i was previously given had diminished, i have been appointed to a new job as the group editor! This means i will be in charge of editing all of the clips we have filmed by cutting them down, adding transitions from one clip to another, putting in the titles, adding the music, layering the clock face over some of the clips and ensuring that everything looks as it should. I will edit our title sequence using the program final cut pro.

New Storyboard

After a conversation we had with Leanne it became clear that our storyboard needed to change because the way we had originally planned to show our titles was too complicated and time consuming. We also discussed that a larger range of shots were needed. The main idea of the title sequence has stayed pretty much the same but now we have decided to just create the titles on the mac in the font we have chosen. The transition of the titles will probably be just a simple fade in and fade out because this will fit in well with the mood and atmosphere of the sequence. The other changes we have made are based on shots and camera angles. For a larger variety we have added in a few extreme close ups, for example we have added two extreme close ups of Daisy's eye and Todd's eye also to convey some kind of communication. There's an extreme close up on the cigarette burning in the ash tray to show passing time, this also illustrates time metaphorically burning away. There's another extreme close up of the cigarette in the hand and in Todd's mouth as he takes a drag on the cigarette.
