I've been selected Pt 2

More on my film that is being screened at the Branchage Film Surgery.





Today i made the two DVD’s they need, basic covers and crappy cheap ass cases, but what ya gonna do, anyway its not about the cases and the covers its about whats inside, a DVD with a 3 minutes film.


The changes i made were to add a credit, only one, ‘A Film by’ credit, no need for anything else seeing as i made it all and did everything, secondly i add a title card at the end ‘Fisk Film Ltd’ just a company thing, with this web sites main page address www.fiskfilm.co.uk and the ‘© Copyright Fisk Film Ltd 2010 All rights reserved’ because its being shown to an audience.


Luckily it does have a musical score, or that might have been an issue to get the licence to cover a public screening, there is copyright music and i have a few on my Mac (iMovie 09) but i felt that the film didn’t need any.


Also the shot of the mail man, below,





Original Version,


And,




New version,


You can see the difference, and not just in the composition of the picture, when i shot it and checked the screen on my camera it looked just fine, but once i got it into Final Cut it was to dark, i had set the F-stop to high, oh well, lesson learned, next time, if i’m not sure i’ll over expose a little, or i could just use a light meter, but i don’t have one.


Even with the changes i only extended the length of the film by 1 second, from 3:07 to 3:08.


After i made the two DVD’s this morning i decided that next week i’ll set up a another DVD, but with more stuff on it,
First the main feature short, Do Not Bend,
And as extras, i’ll be adding the original version of Do Not Bend,
All the corresponding vlogs i’ve made, ‘I’ve been selected....What?’ and ‘Screening Up-date’ plus one more (i think) that i’ll be making before, during and after the screening tomorrow night,
And as a bonus another short film called ‘Snap Crackle and Burp’
If friends what a copy i’ll be recording a personal video message for them under the link ‘Message for’ with they’re name, i can do this two ways, either make the DVD and post it to them or just upload the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files to my online server and then give them the link to download it, then all they need to do is burn them onto a DVD.


So next week i’ll try to set this up, with menus and transitions, i usually speed through this stuff but on this one i want to spend a little more time sorting it out, getting right
