A few more changes

A few more changes 

After showing my tutor my progression and the film, she suggested that I made a couple of alterations.

I took her advice and executed them accordingly.

One main thing we both agreed on changing was the font, I went with a font called Steiner which looks like this:

This font is clean cut and clearer than the font originally used which can be seen in the storyboard. It was inspired by the short film 365 days of make-up by Lernert & Sander, which is also shown in one of my previous posts. The change of font makes a significant change to the overall presentation and makes it look more professional.

My tutor Sharon also suggested that I take out one of the scenes (image below), I was a little sceptical of this at first but after removing it and watching it back I am pleased that I followed her guidance. 

Music

Music 

I was recommended a music composer my my videographer, I have listened to some of his music on his youtube channel before and was excited to be working with him. His work is original and eccentric which works great with my project. 

I was able to converse with him on a regular basis so he could understand my project and so that we can be in-tune with what I want for my film. My key words for this composition were edgy, unique, intriguing and emotional. 

His style is generally quite techno which is something that would add to the uniqueness of this projects as initially I would have gone with something more classical. After further deliberation I decided to steer away from that as I felt classical music would have given the impact but would be too generic.

Three different parts of music were composed for this project. I asked the composer to watch the film to get a feel of the mood and draw from that as part of his inspiration. The first piece written based on the descriptions I have given him and the film itself, adding a slight 'jazzy' feel to it as this genre of music is very varied in regards to the mood it can set. The second piece was previously written by him, it is something I heard before and mentioned that I liked. He adapted this piece to fit in with the films movement and emotion. The final piece he described to me as being more psychological, it has an ambient feel to it finishes off the film well.
