Codes & Conventions that influenced our Script/ideas

The codes and conventions we have identified in our genre (Thriller/Social Realism)  is that the pace of the film in all aspects editing, camera shots etc. is very quick e.g. quick editing transitions and quick camera pans. Due to these conventions it has influenced our script and general ideas in several ways, for example our script was modified around the pace, we made the tranisitions quicker and the camera shots fast paced, and when it came to the chase all of these conventions could be unleashed to create the perfect chase scene, hopefully one that would resemble what hollywood has to offer :P

The socail realism aspect of our film had several conventions also, for instance the good story was a convention which we implemented into our storyboard, thats where the drug deal went bad came from because its a good story which we can modify to suite a thriller also.

Editing: Day 4

Today Luke finally delivered our last piece of film, the part where the main character talks about his actions on his blog, so in our last lesson we worked on trimming it down and chopping it up into snippets and adding it into our film, we're not sure on where to put all the pieces yet but I'm sure we'll decide soon. Now with our new bits of video our film just clocks over 3 minutes which is required. so all round editing going very well so far.

Music production

I started some of our music production the other day with my music tech friend, we started off with a rough beat that followed the conventions of the Bourne movie soundtrack that I mentioned earlier in my blog. We produced a short section that will fit into the suspense build up element of our film. I wish in carrying on with the music soon when I have enough time, we need to finish the build up section then produce a bit for the big finale, in our case the big chase scene. I'm looking forward to finishing it off and adding it to our film to create the full effects of a Hollywood blockbuster (kind of)

Editing: Day 2 & 3

Todays editing got off to a much better start, we've managed to compile most of our clips together to make a rough 2 minute long clip, but more still needs to be added. All of our clips have been arranged into the right order to give us a feel of what we have actually produced and i'm not going to lie, its looks awesome in my opinion. In one part of the clip we suffered from a bit of camera wobble, so we counteracted it with some editing effects which cured the problem perfectly.
