Title cards sorted

We have sorted out the title cards and found a soluion! We used the solarise on premier pro video effects and turned the threshold to around 49 to get this effect. We also used the title cards to try and get the effect of snatch.

First rough cut of Pest control.

The name has been decided upon to be now named pest control after deep thought and analysis of our footage we thought it would suit our film better that the division.

This is the first rough cut without music, voice over and deeper editing.

Overall I am very impressed with the footage so far:
-The pan ins are smooth
-The shot reverse shot in the last scene works well and is very effective.
-most of the shots are of a good quality
-the transition wipes that we are currently sampling look effective (but may still be changed due to the fact this is only rough)
- A wide range of shots have been used which gives off the tension that the charcters.

Due to the nature of a rough cut I can see what works and what dosent so what needs to be changed:
- The telephone scene is of a different quality with the rest of the footage so this scene will be re-shot soon
- During the freeze frames we need an effect simmilar to the one seen in "snatch". As you can see the solarise (the red freeze frame) dosent look too great and we need to figure out how to get the same style as the one seen below. This may have to be done in After effects. 

Lens flare causing an issue

After looking at our footage we have noticed huge lens flare in some of the shots which is an issue due to the fact it doesn't look the professional standard that we want to achieve. The lens flare was due to the camera being in contact with the sun's raise.

Fortunately we took allot more shots and this was the only shot that was effected so much so we cannot use it.

Final storyboad film.

Final sequence filming

After looking at the footage that we had it's clear that more needed to be taken. We filmed at 9:00 pm so it was extremely dark and due to our small budget we cannot stretch to hiring studio lights or even a camcorder which doesn't fuzz in the dark. This was found out when we looked back over the footage. The lesson learnt from this is schedule filming when there is natural light ( preferably mid day 12:00 ) that is even if we need to film outside, another option is to film inside so there is a constant source of light but due to the film being set in a London urban environment this scenery needs to be in the scene to establish to the audience where the film is set.

Another thing was the amount of camera angles used. We need to go back and film using different types of shot t. What we've filmed so far has a very small range of shots and it doesn't look professional. I want to use many camera angles because I thought in the opening to fight club it looked really effective.

The production checklist

The production company

After much thought and analysis we have decided that for "The Division" it would be best for our studio and co producers to be FILM 4 productions. This is because Film 4 productions have produced the films that we would love "The Division" to be in the same style and to sit alongside with. Films such as "Dead Man's shoes" ,  "This is England" and "Trainspotting". which are massive inspirations with "The Division"
