Final: Preliminary Task

Below is the finished preliminary task:

Editing Decisions

Music Creation

As we are not permitted to use copyrighted music on our project, I decided to to create the music on an iPod app, called Garageband, as much of copyrighted music either would not fit with our opening scene, or it would not be good enough quality.

To create the music, in the app, I used a variety of music to create a full piece of music, for example below I recorded a variety of string intruments for the main part of the piece, as strings are quite often at the front of super hero scores and we want to keep to the codes/ convetions of the superhero genre.

I also added in a variety of other instuments such as keyboard and synth sounds, drum kits and pads and bass guitars, untill a full soundtrack sounded right. Other effects such as reverb and repeat were added for extra effect.

Pieces were made for both the title cards and for under the opening it's self.

Title Card: Editing

From the very beggining of our opening, we want to convey the conventions/ codes of the super hero genre. For this, as detailed earlier we have made a title card which is very simmilar to Marvel's title card.

This will make the audience recognise what genre the film is going to be straight away. For this I made the title in photoshop, which was a simple collection of font put together.

After this I exported each layer separatley as a photoshop file, this way I can animate the title in Premiere pro.

After this I imported the files into premiere pro, and combined it with pictures and music. By putting movement in the background and forground separetely, I was able to create something simmilar to the marvel title card.
