Parallel Final

Production Diary


Parallel production diary from oliviaseymour

This is my production diary for the construction of our opening sequence. In this PPT format, it clearly demonstrates the journey from having no idea of what to do, to the final draft. 

Feedback from First Draft

We already had a rough idea of what we needed to change from our first draft before people saw it as our editing took a long time due to the masking effect we needed. This meant that we focused primarily on getting that part right that we didn't have enough time to tidy up the other parts.

When we did receive our feedback, it was more positive than I thought but they also highlighted other parts that we should change. For example, including music. We thought music would not be a particularly good idea in the beginning but after reading the feedback and testing it out, it may be something that we actually include.

Below shows some pictures of our feedback:








People tended to like the cloning effect which is good as we spent a lot of time trying to get that right. They thought the acting by Max was good and convincing. Our criticisms include the shaky shots and some of the cuts needing to be quicker which we plan to sort out. Overall the feedback was extremely useful to us as a group.


We spoke as a group and decided that these were the main things we need to improve upon:
- Title order, size and font
- Cut out wobbly shots
- Find different sound effects/music and cut out bird sound.
- Remove the title at the end of the sequence.
- Make it more interesting by removing some of the walking shots.

Fonts For Titles


This is our favourite idea for fonts for our titles at the moment. We think that this font is quite quirky but also quite simple which portrays our genre quite well.
