2. Comparison with real media products
To compare our research with existing T.V Title sequences we had to
do research on other sequences to see if it was the same. At first me
and Ashleigh couldn't decide on what project we where going to do
mine or hers so i did research on 'Ghost whisperer' the T.V series and
'The Orphanage' the movie because mine was based on a ghost but
then we decided to do her idea so i did research on 'Dexter' the t.v
series and 'My bloody Valentine' the movie for our costume and props
I drew and designed a dress in pink then annotated it for one of the
characters to wear and also designed the fake blood and white roses
for the props we needed in our filming.

3. For our location we had to fill in a location Recce Check list to
make sure we had everything that we need to take when filming
at our location and a location list which we had to look up the
phone number and address of our location. Our locations we
filmed in was 'Ben's woodland Walk', 'Christ Piece park in
Cambridge', 'the long road kitchen' which we got permission for,
'The long road car park' and the 'Public library in Cambridge'
which we also got permission for.

4. With our Characters me and Ashleigh asked another group in our class
witch was Sammie and Dan, they where the two main characters in our
opening sequence and we got them to sign a permission sheet to show
that they don't mind us filming and what they are going to do while we
are filming them. We got Sammie to be a dead girl and wear a pink
dress with fake blood on it in the woods and then we got Dan to be the
killer who wears a grey hoddie with a knife.

5. How did you find the construction process
I found the most enjoyable was the fake blood and the different filming
because i like going out somewhere and doing something than just sitting in
class and also i like that i could help in other peoples opening sequence
because then we could share ideas and get to know them more. I found the
most hardest was deciding which subject we where going to do because me
and Ashleigh liked both of our ideas and didn't know which one to choose
and also i found hardest was finding the location because if we could not get
permission to film in that certain place we had to have a plan b to film in.

6. The problems that i had to face was trying to get the music right because
there was an off beat and i had to try and find it to fix it also i had to make
it merge into our video, so i had to research on my bloody Valentine music
to get an idea of what i had to do to get the right music to flow with the
video. Also the other thing we had to face is that we had to find back up
characters if one of them was ill or they couldn't do it .

7. I think me and Ashleigh worked well as a team, we shared great ideas
which we always took on board and if it didn't work out we would try
something else, also we got to know each other better and knew each
others strengths to use in this video, we also had each others phone
numbers so we could call or text if something would go wrong or if i
needed something. And we also made schedules of what we have done
and what we need to do on what days . We sometimes didnt agree on
somethings but we worked it out in the end.

8. Legal and ethical consideration
We made sure that we could use the music on garage band and so we could
re mix it a little, when we where filming we didn't get any threats or violent
parts with knives or toy guns in our clips and we also made sure got the
characters to sign permission slips to show us that we can used them in our
footage because they are under 18 and they might have problems with the
things we want them to do when filming.

9. Skills development
Me and Ashleigh also went around college taking pictures of
different fonts and putting them into a collage on photoshop i
had to make a plan sheet on photoshop and drag all the
pictures together and resize them so they can all fit so i had
to press cmd T to do so.

10. When i was making the music on garage band i had to youtube
convert a song then click on media browser on garageBand and
double click on the song that i wanted and then i could cut bits out of
it by hovering over the bottom left and right track and dragging right
or left to get more music or cut it off. And then i added bits of music
from the loops which made it more sci-fi and mysterious.

11. Quality of final product
I think the final product was based on the original idea we had, before we
thought of this idea we thought we were going to do a vampire opening
sequence because of the lesson we did on bite marks and fake blood but we
completely changed our minds to something different. Me and Ashleigh
forgot to put something sci-fy in it and so we had to think of how to do that
and so we decided to make Dan the killer's eyes to turn black like he is poses
of something and cant stop killing. But apart from that i think our project was
pretty successful because of our teamwork and skills. I think this meets up to
our target audience and is appropriate to watch.
