Almost Finished

Today we continued to edit our project, overall I am very happy with the way we are working and progressing as a group. So far we have had no eceedingly harsh issues with the project however there has been some minor faults, Sir realised some of these and posted a review of our rough cut on Katie's Blog, I read through the review and took notes as to how we could change each part to make the video better, he expressed that we needed to add titles, after today I can say that the titles are now included into the project along with the DynamiteKitty logo and Warner Bros logo, we also included the title of our film at the end, we chose to place it at the end in order to help link with other crime films such as The Dark Knight which has its title shown at the end of the opening sequence, we have decided to use inter titles within our sequence, this means there is a short bit of narrative followed by a brief title then another bit of narrative. The use of inter titles allows us to link alot with crime films such as Lucky Number Slevin and The Departed. We have also now changed the contrast within the interrogation sequences in order to make the scene more gritty which helps link with film noir. Also we have decided to slow down the flashback sequences as well as the music throughout the whole sequence, this helps create a more dreamlike quality to it  which emphasizes the mystery element of my character as well as the narrative of the story. The music was slowed down primarily in order to suit the sequence a lot better, since we made a few changes and have to add intertitles we discovered that the sequence became much longer and thus meant that the music was increasing its tempo before the appropriate moments, this caused us to panic for a short period of time until we found help from a friend whom stretched the music so that it became longer, this helped dramatically and also allowed us to continue working on the sequence without issue with music.
