Indominus

Indominus - Completed Main Task

This is our completed film opening sequence - it's run time is 1 minute and 39 seconds.

We found that there were some issues with a particular piece of sound that we added to the film - the heartbeat sound effect. To hear and watch the film whilst getting the full experience (to hear the sound properly) it is best to listen to the film with earphones/headphones, or with stereo speakers attached to your computer/laptop. This issue is due to the low frequency of the heartbeat sound effect, many laptops/computers do not have speakers of a high enough technicality to audibly register and project particular low frequency sounds. We did not know this when we added the sound effect to the film. We downloaded the film onto YouTube again: the second download was visually clearer but the heartbeat sound effect was still inaudible when played normally, out-loud, without speakers - therefore, the film must be listened to and watched with earphones/headphones, and/or speakers.

Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

To answer this question myself and Yasmin created an informal Film Discussion where we compared the progress we felt we made going from our Preliminary Task to our Main Task.

We are aware that the framing in this piece is occasionally off but this is due to a camera screen fluke.

To answer this question myself and Yasmin created a set of filmed vox-pops.

Yasmin was the main creator for the first poster, whereas I created the second poster. We both designed the teaser-trailer - e.g. I thought about the sound along with the flashes on the screen of the writing 'YOU', 'KILLED', and 'HER', whereas Yasmin helped add in an establishing shot at the beginning of this piece, and also added in the title of the film on a black screen that fades in at the end of the teaser-trailer.
