When: Monday 19th January
What: Narration, Titles and Credits
Who: Daniel, Tilly Robbie
Evaluation
We begun with the narration and we changed all the volumes depending on the volume in which Dave spoke. Some clips he spoke louder, or quieter than others so we changed volumes. Then because in the clips you can hear the ambience we decided that we would extend the clips so we have silent ambience at the start and end at clips, and then we have faded the volume in so when listening the volume slowly increases.

We then started to create the title for our film. We started by experimenting with different fonts to see which one worked at which ones didn't:
We then realised that we wanted to use our Target audience films titles as our audience would find this more appealing.
Font:
After looking at the three fonts, we decided that we liked 'The Way Way back' font style the most. We liked the tall, thin letters. So after trying to research the font they used it wasn't on Final Cut Pro X, so we looked trough the fonts and found one most similar: Apple LiGothic.
Style
When estimating with the fonts, we decided that we didn't want all words on the same line as the target audience films didn't use this style. We liked the 'Cheaper by the Dozen' style of how the 'Cheaper' and 'Dozen' were larger under one another, and then 'of the' was smaller to the side.
We chose a font size for 'Life' and 'Hermit' and positioned them under each other so the L and H were in line. Then we decided we would have 'of' in small capitals and changed the font size so it was smaller, then positioned it at the bottom of 'e'.
Then we chose the font colours. We decided we wanted Black and white, but when we finished choosing the font and style we then thought it looked too plain. We wanted to add colour, we liked how 'Frank' has a bold colour like pink and how it is outlined.
In order to get the film credits at the right order, we decided to compare our credits with a real short film that includes the same conventions as Life of Hermit. We looked at the short film 'Depression' as it included a main character with the same personality as Hermit and relies on masks to create a message to the audience. Adding the credits didn't take very long achieve as we knew the order for the crew & cast so all we had to do was to add everyone onto the credits and to makes sure the speed of the credits isn't too fast or else the audience wouldn't be able to read the credits.
Overall we are proud of what we've done for the rough cut of Life of Hermit and although there are some issues with the sound of the short film, we are prepared to alter the film from the response of the audience feedback.
Now that both the shooting on location and editing is completed for the rough cut, we are now able to asses each other on how we acted during this stage of production, This is a good way of showing what each member thinks of each other as we are willing to be more honest in a peer assessment.
Here are the results of the peer assessment:
