Film cont.

I have continued to add images to the stop motion movie. I have planned to possibly use text masking to the opening titles to add interest and match the theme of the overall movie. I believe that this will make the final movie look more professional. These images will need to be editedso that they are brighter and clearer on screen.

Creating the narrative: Stage 1 Week 9

Week 8 of the project and I have uploaded images and begun to edit them in a stop motion format on Adobe Flash. I am using this as practice. I will go on to edit the photos during week 10.

Project Material Week 7 & 8

The photographs have now been taken and we are both pleased with the outcome. Therefore, we are now ready to edit the photos using software such as Photoshop and Flash. This will involve adapting the colour, brightness and size of all images.

Project aims Week 6

This week, I discussed with my partner where and when we should photograph the band for our final piece. As we were unable to take photographs previously due to short notice we discussed future dates. It transpired that there are very few opportunities in the near future. Therefore we have decided not to use a live band in order to save time. We will now be taking photographs of a friend playing a guitar in an open space such as a park etc. This will save time and will enable us to begin the editing process at a much earlier stage, hopefully in week 7.

Text Masking Week 5

Using Adobe Flash I followed on from the work I did in Photoshop. Using a step-by-step tutorial I masked the text using another image. This example may be useful in my final project as it ties in with the theme of outside areas and the park.

Text: Week 4

This week I experimented with wording and text. I have inserted text into an image using another background behind the wording. I created a number of samples, each relating to the theme of music and movement; which links in with my final project.
