Moviestorm Session 23+24

In session 23 + 24 the class had all finished there moviestorm short film so we had a class viewing where we go round to each table and watch different films and we got given a grid where we had to fill in what our group had thought about other groups film. Our group for very positive feedback from the class. The strengths we got from the class was that we had a simple and easy to follow narrative and then the music and the sound effects fitted well to the film and that they were in the right timing. Another positive feedback that our group received was the sound effect that was there when the zombie’s came out of there grave. Another feedback that we got that the class enjoyed was the end credits where there was a dancing skeleton at the side whilst the credits were scrolling up.
There was some area’s that we needed to improve on was that the camera shots that we made were too simple and it needed a more variety of camera shots. Another improvement that the class mentioned was that as the zombies’ were walking they needed to be shorter because the audience would think it was too repetitive.

Moviestorm Session 21+22

In session 21+22 I made a new sequence and named it "Master" this is where the movie will be put together I then dragged the title, midnight hour and credits together in order in the master sequence. We had a group meeting and decided that we needed more sound effects in the movie so we went into garageband and chose the sound effects that we wanted and we put it in the right place where we wanted the sounds to go. We watched our short film over and over again to make sure that we were happy with the result that we had made.

Moviestorm Session 18+19+20

In session 18, 19 and 20 I created started to create the credits I decided to do something different to the credits and to have it linked to our moviestorm short film. I decided that I was going to have a dancing skeleton on the left hand side whilst the credits were going to scroll up on the right hand side. I went into Moviestorm and I created a new project where I designed the room so that the walls, floor and ceilings were black. I imported the moviestorm into Final Cut and then I exported it out again to Quick Time and i then imported it back into Final Cut. I used Final Cut to create the scrolling text using the credits icon, where I could change the font and the font size that I wanted.
