Sound effects

Because I cant get a police car to make the siren noise, I got some free sound effects from the internet. I will use these in my final product. There is one scene that I have still not decided if I am going to put one in. It is a part where a car revs off screen, so I also got the sound effect for that, although im not totally sure if its going to be in there yet.

DVD cover

This is the DVD cover for the Tarantino film Sin city. It shows most of the main characters stood in the rain. All the characters are wearing black, which shows the Sin part of the film more. Also, the film is almost totally in gray scale, so it also fits in that way.
The actors are also stood diagonally, off centre, which could show that there is a sinister part to the film, or that the characters are all evil in there own way. Also, the way that the characters are arranged shows something. It shows the importance of the characters, before we have even seen the film, as Bruce Willis is seen at the front, showing his importance, and then going through the main characters. The main enemy is shown at the very back, very off centre, to show how crooked she is. Also, One man is seen at the very back to the right. He seems to be pretty central, which could show he is good, but it is over shadowed by the others.
The text title is also used very well. As the whole cover is in gray scale, it stands out very well, and detracts from the main picture.

Poll results

You are aware from a previous post that i copied my poll of Favourite films and decided that i would ask people face to face. I asked a total of 30 people. Here are my results : -



The Punisher? 2 Votes

Rockanrolla? 3 Votes

Snatch? 4 Votes

Severence? 1 Vote

The Blair Witch Project? 1 Vote

The Dark Knight? 11 Votes

Hitman? 3 Votes

Dawn of the Dead? 1 Vote

28 Weeks Later? 3 Votes

Die Hard 4? 1 Vote



This shows that the most popular film was the Dark Knight, followed by Snatch, and that action films are the most popular. I will use this information to influence my final film choice in the future.

Research

I know not that many people can get to my blogger page, so im going to print out the poll about favourite films and then ask random people about school. Hopefully then i will get some results. I will put them up for all to see when I finish.

Problem

I was going over the film for my prelim again today, and it appears there is a delay at the end of the clips no-one told me about when I was filming. Im annoyed because I dont have the people or the time to re-film and the clip doesnt look as good as it could. All the speech is cut short also. I will just submit and hope I can refilm later.
