Title Sequence Production Journal

In our recent lessons and free time, we have progressed with our editing. Initially we were having difficulty in incorporating our chosen film logo into our sequence due to internet problems but have since managed to successfully download it and edit it into our piece appropriately, keeping the same original logo of Hammer Productions but adding our own sound to customize it to our title sequence (the trickling of a stream) and create an eerie atmosphere from the beginning. We have also decided to use the burgundy colour seen on the Hammer Productions logo for the rest of our typography so that all the font will match.  We chose Hammer Productions as our film company as they are widely known for their horror films.

During our editing, we felt that some parts of our sequence did not flow in the way that we wanted them to so instead of simply cutting some shots, we have started to use different transitions such as fades or dissolves so that the order of clips do not feel rigid but flow properly. We also reshot a tracking shot of photographs on a wall after noticing a continuity error- a difference in lighting in the last tracking shot from the previous two.
