Animatronics.

'write up why you created an animatronic'

how did you create it?
- Using Final Cut express, my group were able to create a step by step animation of how we wanted our film to look like. We uploaded hand drawn pictures of our scenes, and then added effects as we went along, with titles which had transitions.

-what did you learn?
In this task, i learnt how to use final cut express as an editing software, add effects onto pictures as well as how to add transitions and use titles meaningfully.

- 'why was this a useful process'
Using final cut express was useful as it is important preparation for editing our film opening. It also helped us structure our opening as seeing it onscreen, we started to realise errors which could be fixed now; such as changing scenes around, instead of in the long-run which would pro-long our final editing procedure.

Pitch.

'Trapped in Translation'

two women - who share one bond, from opposite backgrounds, one being from a strict religious family being forced into an arranged marriage, and the other being a newly reformed prostitute - both meet on an online chat room, bonding over one reason - they are both trying to escape their destined fates.

- inspired by the t.v programmes 24 and without a trace. (CCTV idea)

Research and Planning

1.) what genre have you chosen to use and why?

- Thriller, as it's got dark elements in it, but isn't as typically scary as a horror.

2.) what films have you looked for at in your research?

- Taken



- we have adapted the idea of 'sex trafficking' from this film, into ours, but have made this more discreet as our target audience is younger.

- Don't say a word

- Trapped

- 24

The opening of the series 24 has inspired us to use CCTV elements as this would be ideal for showing our audience when the two woman first meet in person.


- The Social Network





This chat scene clip from 'The Social Network' represents the idea of the two women meeting in a chat room for the first time, and getting to know each other online, by a networking site.
