Production Log Week 16

This week we are finishing off our opening sequence in the post production stage. During this stage we are under going some decisions  that will affect our final version. For instance were deciding if there should be any changes to the graphics such as the positioning where they are placed on the screen, such as on the wall and on the floor to give the illusion of it being a real life object to fit in the environment/mise-en-scene of the opening sequence.Another issue that we have encountered is where one scene has a positioning error and we did over come this and solve it by doing editing techniques to cover it up and make it more fluid and less of and mistake. Another issue that we countered was where the text was positioned and how it would move on the screen, for instance when we moved the object around the screen we couldn't key frame its movement and it wouldn't move as it was a 3D text which caused issues to our original vision and this had to changed to another way that we could go around this.

What we did was do a still image and moved it around as that was the only way at that time. From our feedback from our first initial draft that we did we got lots of feedback saying to change certain timing issues on the clips such as when one of the slave owners was walking down one the alleyway and we cut it down because of how long it was. It was originally about 6seconds long and we changed it to about 2-3 seconds as it became a drag and it wasn't really necessary. Another thing that had to be changed was during the end of our production the music and style of the graphics had to be changed as they seemed to be too dramatic and because of this was changed from bold concrete looking to a move slim bold black text which suited the BSR genre a lot more.
