After a suggestion by my film teacher I think that I'm going to try and get some setting shots and traveling shots of New York on an upcoming trip. This will tie nicely into the conventions of my chose genre as Film Noir is often set in New York. Hopefully I will get some good shots that can be edited into my title sequence.

Editing and further filming

I have edited together my first section of footage and I am happy with it so far, all that needs adding is the background music. I also still need to record the voiceover and then add that to the piece as well.

Hopefully I can continue with some more filming soon, the only problem I am experiencing is the distinct lack of natural lighting for my title sequence. Hopefullu though I will soon be able to get that completed and add it to the sequence. Also my scene after the title sequence is being hindered by the same problem so I may have to change the idea around slightly to allow for the situation I am in.

While I was editing the piece I ran into a problem with getting my desired effect on a few of the shots (the photographs of the body) Unfortunately the red was not vivid enough so didn't have the smae effect as the rest of the sequence so I had to still image the video clip and then photoshop the images in order to get the desired effect. At first I was not too happy with the photoshoped effect either as it seemed to gaudy and bright but then I realised that for the editing technique I am going for that would work and as they are supposed to be photographs it doesn't look riddiculous but mearly adds to the comic book effect that I was aiming for with the edditing.
