The Completed Preliminary Task

Question 6 and 7

Question 4 and 5

Question 2 and 3

Question 1

Construction: Evidence Of Creating The Opening Titles

We stared off by looking at looking at different fonts and different sizes of the titles. This is a very important part of the opening because it shows the people who contributed to the film but may not be on screen. Also it can create an atmosphere in the opening as some fonts would not suit the genre of the film. We tested all sizes, small and bigger fonts to see what ones we thought would create the best atmosphere. We also tested different fonts itself, so different styles of the text. We also had the decision on where on the screen we were going to places the titles. We also looked at what colour would be best suited for our opening and will go well with the background colour.

Construction: Evidence Of Editing Process For Our Film Opening

The first screen shot shows our first edit of the opening.


We had to adjust the continuity as it was not correct because he was standing still when he should have been walking.


This screen shot shows me erasing part of the clip that we didn’t need anymore.


The continuity wasn’t correct in this shot so we took out this clip and replaced this with a title.


We cut the start of this clip as the continuity as it wasn’t following from the previous clip.


We had to re-order some of the shots so the match on action was correct. we moved the two clips of Billy at the book so they was following on from each other instead of them being at the start and the end of the clip, as there was no way from him to get back to the book.


We added a title showing the directors name. This is the most important name of the film.


We changed the length of the titles from 5 seconds to 3 seconds because they were too long and it increased the time over our target for the film opening.


We moved the titles for the main character from the middle to the top left.


Then we added the name of the second actor which we also moved but this time to the bottom right.


We then added another title named music and the name of the composer of the music, however the music was in a smaller font than the name so the nam stands out to the audience.


This screenshot shows what the title will look like during our film opening.


This shows that we have exported our clip however is it without sound at the moment.


Video of The Revenge (no audio)


This is some screenshots of us finding a sound effects and music to use in our opening.




This is us adding in the sound effect.


This is after the sound has been adding in. We are then using the colour balance effect to change the colour of the image to a red.


This is then what it looks like with the red effect.

Construction: Evidence Of Our First Rough Edit Of 'The Revenge'

This is the rough edit of ‘The Revenge’. It is currently 2 minutes 6 seconds long, the finish product needs to be 2 minutes but when we’ve made the final edited sharper it should drop to about 1 minute 50 seconds and with the extra seconds we can add titles.

Construction: Evidence Of Filming

During the filming we left the camera running so there was evidence that we was filming and creating our opening. 

This shot shows Ryan and Craig discussing about how he should act in the next clip.












This is evidence of all of our raw footage to show that it was us who filmed it. Also that it was all our original ideas. During the video you can see Ryan and Craig and ben discussing how to approach the next shot and if it matches up with out plan.

Construction: Evidence Of Our Raw Footage

This is all of the footage that we took whilst filming the opening 2 minutes of our horror film. There is also footage in here of us in the classroom practising with he camera, and learning how the camera works.

Planning: Filming Schedule

A filming schedule is a plan of what dates/times and locations your cast and crew will be doing the filming part of the production in addition to how many scenes or shots you're aiming to shoot in the time frame you have set. It is also important to make note of what cast member are needed for different scenes and what crew is required for each day which ensures that everybody knows when they are needed. This will make the filming process a lot easier for us as we will have set an organised plan.

Planning: Producing A Shot List

The reason for shot listing is because you need to have an idea of what is going to happen within your opening and the order in which the shots happens. Shot listing allows you as a group to make choices about what is going to be done and when it is going to be filmed, so it can be effective for our target audience which is teenagers. 

Planning: Casting For Our Opening

Billy, aged 17, who has been bullied through out the most of his school life, hasn’t got a job and has a small house. We have decided to appoint Craig Burton as Billy for our film because we think he is a suitable person as he is committed and he is reliable. He is confidant in front of a camera for the film because he is almost the same age as Billy and is enthusiastic when acting. Craig also done GCSE Drama and got a B which shows he is confident in front of the camera and can follow his lines. Casting is very important because we needed to get the right actor of our choice to play in our 2 minute opening because we need to make sure that they can be reliable and be at the filming at the right time. Casting is also important because we need to make sure that the actor can act and look comfortable in front of the camera.

Planning: Producing A Story Board

This is the story board we have made to help us with the filming process. We have different story boards which lets us know who needs to be in the scene, where we are going to be filming it, who is going to be in the scene and the dialogue that is going to be in the scene this is because it would give us a clear idea of what shot would take place next, in addition to this we could visually see what would need to happen in the shot with a brief drawing so we could see clearly what was going to happen next, giving the directors and the actor a better understanding of what should take place. Overall this was really important because it would make our group able to function more and with ease because we all knew what was going to happen next.
