Font

The first font was too childish for the style of the film but I liked the handwritten effect like it was written in a hurry. It's also a bit too dificult to read.

The second font was too elegant. Though I liked how it looked so professional, it wasn't suitable for a war film.

This was my original final font idea but I decided it was too bold/blocky for the effect I wanted. So I decided to look at army stencil style fonts.

This font I thought was perfect. I like how clear each letter is and with the colourings I added it looks like a war is going on and the best elite fighters are involved.

Final Outcome


Everything in the video is dubbed.There is not a single sound that was in the original recording. I am going to remove the dots after the titles on the opening sequence and try to change the opening to make the second half (from 1:22 onwards) of the video less like a trailer. The bullet sound and animation will most likely be removed or improved by making the bullet shot more realistic.

Mr Cunningham said that up to 1:22 I have produced (with Callum) a good opening but afterwards it becomes the start of the film. I'm going to try different edits out to see whether I can keep the film opening at a minimum of 2 minutes long by stretching out the first part of the video.

Final Music for the final outcome


I think the use of the harp appropriately sets the mood of the extract as calm and reminiscent. The flute enters creating a sense of security. The tension strings fade in through the flute and the music takes a more serious tone and builds up as the plot is set and the story begins.

Callum (who I'm doing the film with) said "the music fitted very well will the viusuals that are on the screen. The harp effectivly created the right mood and the fade from the flute to the chamber strings for tension was perfect."

Feeback from Miss Stone

  • Time the credits from three or four ganster films, and mirror the same practice in my own film (storyboard, animatic). Needs to be planned before I edit.
  • Post my analysis on three blockbuster ganster openings.
  • Finished product by end of half term.

Dubbing Callum and adding a Heartbeat

I have dubbed Callum's voice with a better recording done by Callum. I have also added a heartbeat and a reverb. I still need to add in gun sounds, music, and the sounds of getting hit and bruces reaction to getting hit.

Dubbing Mr.Fenwicks voice with Bruce.

I still need to add in Callum's voice dub so that all the audio has the same level of clarity. I will also add in a gun-load sound effect, a heartbeat, music and other noises that take place in the scene.
