Production Log Diegesis
Sound:
Where have you got your music from?
We could not use copyright music in our film opening due to the copyright law. If we were to use a piece of copyright music without the permission of the owner then we as a group would be going against something called 'copyright infringement'. This could lead to big fines for the 'infringer'. To avoid this you would have to ask the owner themselves for permission to use the music/sound clip.
Where have you got your music from?
The
music and sound effects within our film opening were either gathered from
websites like YouTube or www.videoblocks.com. Videoblocks allowed us to gather the correct music or
sound effects we wanted and allowed us to download it without any legal issues
as the website states all sound clips are royalty free, meaning it is not
copyrighted. As for YouTube, when looking for music or
sound effects we needed to ensure the uploader has stated that the sound file
is royalty therefore allowing us to use it.

Production Log Editing
Editing:
The window in the top left corner is a preview window which allows us the view the clip whilst we edit. This will enable us to see the scene we are editing and when we add any sound affects or change any visual we can see what it looks like and whether we should keep it or not. The window on the top right corner allows us to browse through all the movie, sound effects and music that is necessary to our opening. The bottom window is where all the editing happens. From the top right hand window one can drag and drop any necessary files into the bottom half and begin to place the scenes in order and add sound effects on top. The files which are green are the sound files and the blue ones are the actual footage. As seen above there are many different sound files overlapping, this means the programme allows us to have many different sounds at one time.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of this programme?
Advantages:
Are you on schedule?
At the moment we are ahead of schedule for our editing as we have completed a draft of our film opening and are now planning to perfect our work.
How is it going?
The editing process is going well as the first scene has been drafted out with the scenes in the correct order and the sounds added on. The second scene is also going well as we have arranged the clips into the order in which we want it to be, sound clips just need to be added then it will be sorted out for any further editing such as adding titles and adding any affects.
What are the difficulties?
The only difficulty we have found is trying to cut our film opening down to the 2:30 time limit. As we have made our film opening with two scenes we have noticed that it has made it considerable long therefore we have decided to cut out scenes within the opening in which we feel are irrelevant and not affect the quality of our work.
What programme are you using?
The programme which we are using to edit our film opening is called 'Movie Edit Pro'. Below is a screenshot of our editing in progress.

Production Log Filming
Filming:
How did it go?
The filming for our film opening went well as everything went to plan such as the weather, timing, characters and costumes. Throughout the filming we encountered no interuptions.
Did you change anything from your planning?
Whilst filming we had stuck to our plan and used the shots and ideas we had set, but when we got to editing we had to cut out some scenes that were irrelevant and made our film drag on.
What were the difficulties?
Firstly one problem we encountered was trying to use the knife only as a film purpose and not to scare any passers by. Another problem encountered was trying to get the right balance of light when filming the second scene in the abandoned house.
Are you on schedule?
As it goes we are ahead of schedule as we planned correctly and completed all blogs that were needed to be done at the right times thus giving us good amount of time to edit.
