Lost Love, Cinema Screening

We screened our Lost Love title sequence to our fellow AS Media Students. We are very proud of  how the title sequence turned out on the big screen, all of our credits fitted nicely into the screen and our foley sounds, background music and voice-over all came out clearly and soundly.

What I (Leo) found interesting was that when our films title 'Lost Love' appeared on screen it garnered emotional responses from some members of the audience, it is barely audible on the actual video. This pleased me because it proved that the audience can relate to an emotional situation because it is somewhat commonplace which is what the drama genre is all about - realism.

Once the note was read aloud, a remark was made by an audience member voicing his sorrow for my character, this shows that we hit our goal of wanting to pull on the audience's emotions.


Here is the screening provided in the best possible quality, we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making and screening it.

Response to Feedback

For our final edit of 'Lost Love' we we took a lot of the classes feedback on board and applied it. We included a voice over which we agree gets the message of the note across better. We also added background music which we feel adds tension and gravitas to our scene.

The note of the runaway wife. 

Additional Work: Music for Lost Love

The music that we used for 'Lost Love' was from freeplaymusic.com and is called 'An Alternate Universe Part 3'. We felt that it fit really well with our film, it gave it a very serious feel which is what we wanted.

The song is played with a guitar

Non-Diegetic sound in sequence

For our title sequence we have decided to use non-diegetic sound, we chose to use this piece of music from a site called Freeplaymusic.com, this site provides loyalty free music which we are able to use in our title sequence without being effected by copyright infringement, which would cause our title sequence to be muted when we uploaded it to sites such as youtube.

we found that this is Dramatic and the emphasises the emotions in our piece. we also find that this gives out film opening a dramatic tempo for the audience to feel and link to the emotions being showed by the actor.

Rough Cut 2 Feedback

We received feedback from our teacher and class which let us know which parts of our title sequence need improving, we were also told our strong points and given new ideas which we intend to implement.

Starting with the positives:

Positives:

• Lighting
• Acting/Mise-En-Scene
• Shot Variety
• Use of Foley Sounds
• Use of Space 

Improve on:

• Message of the note
• Louder Foley Sounds 

Suggestions:

• Use voice over to convey message of the note
• Have a shot where Leo opens the door with a key
• Add music 
• Titles
• Follow the Production order 

We are grateful to our teacher and classmates for lending us some really clever suggestions to help improve our film. We wholly intend to use the a voice over to convey the message of the note, We feel that this will add an extra edge to our film and make it unique. 

The sounds that we wanted to add were not ready in time for the rough cut but we will definitely add sounds. We still are still deliberating as a group as to whether we will use background music and if so which song we would use. We will have no trouble making the Foley sounds louder in time for our next rough cut. 

Overall we are pleased with the feedback from this rough cut, we feel that it is an improvement on the last though we are aware that there are still improvements to be made. We will take the feedback on board and hopefully have an even better rough cut the next time around. 

Rough Cut 2

\

This is our second edited rough cut that we presented to our teacher and class. We feel that a significant improvement has been made. This cut features foley sounds and the re-shoot footage which we feel is superior to the last. Although it ended up being in a misplaced order we were able to put titles onto the film. We received some feedback on what to improve in time for the final cut which we will delve into further in our next blog post. We will also make sure that all fonts are the same and keep consistent with them.
