Production Schedule

 

Date	What I did	Why I did this
Monday 19th January	I drew a new story board and created a new scrip to match it	I wanted to create a more classic film noir as I felt my first film opening wasn’t that strong. I created a story board with a range of shot types. My new script also showed the codes and conventions clearly as it included film noir classics such as voice overs.

Friday 23rd January

Filming my new opening sequence

I decided to film a new opening sequence as I was not happy with the final product of my first film. Also the weather on this day fit in with the whole mise-en-scene of my film as it was a gloomy and grey day- fitting in with the atmosphere I was trying to create for my film.

Tuesday 27th January	Editing my footage- In this session I went through all of the clips I filmed, naming and deciding if they were useful. I then placed them in an initial order on Adobe Premier pro.	By putting them in an order I looked to see if there where any inconsistencies in my film. This also gave me a chance to see roughly how long my film would be.
Friday 30th January	Editing my footage- clipping my shots to make the film fluid. I also added the first few transitions.	During this session I focused my editing on the film its self, ignoring the sound for now. I made it so the movement between shots was successful.
Monday 2nd February	Editing my footage- sound editing and voice over.	I recorded my male detective’s voice over because the sound of the original was poor. Also voice overs fit with the codes and conventions of a film noir. After creating the voice over I spent the remainder of the session editing the audio grain to make the sound clearer and appear more professional.
Friday 6th February	Filming a title sequence- my movie footage was slightly short so I decided to make my title sequence part of my film.	The title sequence is filmed from the femme fatales point of view and gives the audience insight into her mind. It also adds and builds tension.
Tuesday 10th February	Editing title sequence- Because my title sequence is short I was able to edit both the footage and the sound in one session.	I wanted to ensure that the quality of my title sequence was high and appeared professional. Both the audio and visual aspects had to flow and fit the genre.
Tuesday 17th February	Going over final product and uploading- I spent this session really trying to find and faults. Once I was happy I exported the file	This allowed me to really get my evaluations done, as although I had started some, I was unable to complete all if my evaluations.
