Police sirens
I converted this siren.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hXQMjjuNe0
I think this one is good because it sounds echoy, so more naturalistic...
Is it ok?

The Final Stages
I'm not sure if this is all we have left to do or if I've missed something out. If it is all we have left, can we please stick to this plan so we can be efficient and finally get it done.
1. Take a picture of Roman and Slick DONE
2. Add to the voice over DONE
3. Film the newspaper article bit, capture it and edit it in DONE
4. Re-record Dianne's dialogue DONE
5. Convert the siren sounds DONE
6. Add the sound effects that have been converted DONE
I know we want Kalbir to help us with after effects but I don't want to be a burden on him so unless he definitely has the time, we should just leave it.

Voice over re-recordings
We need to re-record the voice-overs. The main ones are:
My name is Roman and my night had a thousand lies
A couple of years ago, something bad happened
It stared off with a simple phonecall
My Night Has A Thousand Lies
His wife's the only one for him
The Night Has A Thousand Lies

Response to Roman's Introduction
Erm I think it would be too long if we said the stuff about age and job, it's not necessary. We just need to make the audience aware that I'm the protagonist etc. Maybe at the end or something he could say:
My names Roman and My Night Had A Thousand Lies ?
Or we could stick to your idea Bianca and perhaps just shorten it a little.

Suggestions for introducing Roman as the protagonist
We all agree that we need to introduce Roman as the protagonist, right?
But you don't want to introduce him like we have done for the characters, right?
So what if he starts off the voice over something on the lines of this:
My name is Roman
I am 25 years old, and I'm a wealthy accountant (or business man)
A couple of years ago, something bad happened,
let me take you back
It started off with a phone call
My only concern is that it will be too long? But his voice over actually intoducing himself is the only other way of introducing the voicer over as the protagonist, but it dosent nessicarly introduce Bilaal's character as also the protagonist...
Unless while that is said, pictures of his life before "The event" was shown like stills- with dianne? (Apparently something similar happens at the begining of Up if ou've seen it) This would also show it's his wife. But if we did do this, we would have to cut down somewhere else in the trailer which is guess is do-able but more effort. and plus we would have to TAKE the pictures too. And we'd have to get Lagsan to record it too...
What do you think?

Possible plan B ABP logo
I was just thinking if we can think of a good AB Pictures logo, we could do
in capitals with the same font and colour as the "coming soon" shot, because then it would be more consistent?

Or the T could be normal... I really dont know!!
I really can't think of something that is as good as the scrabble PTP logo

Bianca's Weekly Review- 15th to 19th March
WWW
We have pracially finished the editing. This included this week:
REcording the voice over
Institutional information (coming soon page and film reviews)
Adding in sound effects (door slam and phone ring)
Film title logo completed with sound
Found and added in the music for the montage
Refilming (Dan's phonecall, DC and PC at the underpass)
Added any shots needed
Added effects to sound an video, to make it consistant and balanced
EBI
If we were able to refilm Dianne's dialogue
If we didn't have to refilm the voice over for the third time- this was because we used the wrong microphone setting and was not clear/loud enough with the trailer.
Plans for next week:
As a group:
Refilm Dianne's dialogue (MON lunch)?
Edit in voice over (MON after school)?
Make an AB Pictures logo (MON/TUE)?
Need to find: Footsteps, police sirens and cell gate shutting sound effects
Then we should be done! And I have reminded Kalbir about helping us with after effects this coming week...
If anything needs changing, just update it!
Individual:
Cosmopolitan draft (MON)
Final Total Film (MON)

Institutional Logo
I done similar types because I looked at a few Film Noir fonts and they were similar so I thought I would do a range of them.
Anyways, when do we plan on taking pictures or filming me and Amarit holding up a piece of paper saying our names? Badar's has already been done

Response to Institutional Logo
Firstly the comany name has changed to AB Pictures because there is already PRIME TIMES PRODUCTIONS company.
Secondly i dont think there is much variety. When me and Asha came up with that idea it was a suggestion, but I don't think its good. I would prefer if we moves our logo idea totally away from what we have deveopled already.
Compared to the title log and the prime Times Productions Logo, as an idea I don't think its good. I think we could do something so much better!

Bilaal: Can you please read this...
Where were you today? You were meant to come in at 8 and you never did.
I find that you have been slacking lately in the last two weeks.
Firstly, last week you changed your day off from a Friday to a Tuesday, but still you didn't come on Friday. The thing that annoys me the most is that after we filmed in the drama studio Friday after school, you asked what we were going to do next and to that I replied: we are going to edit now. However, you went home.
Secondly, yesterday, we all set tasks for each of us to complete after school. Both Asha and I did our tasks, and extra. For example, I did the instututional information, and ALSO did YOUR TASK (finding music) and I helped Asha with the voice over. But while we were doing that, you disappeared to the shops, without telling us, and kept going off and chatting to other groups, when we have lots of work to do.
Even at this time of the project, I dont think you're putting in any effort, and even when you do something, you use the minimum effort to do so. You barely know what is ever going on (though it's always posted on the blog), and you never use your initiative to find out what needs to be done. We DON'T have to tell you what to do all the time, but it seems it's the only that you do any work.
You still haven't done much work on the blog either. You haven't done a trailer analysis, you haven't done your weekly progress for the past like month, and whenever I suggest something on the blog to both you and Asha, she is the only one whe replies with her opinion. And I never feel you contribute fully to anything.
I'm getting really fustrated with this now, it's being going on since December, but whenever I try and speak to you, you get upset or say I do do work!
Do you have anything to say that would sort this out because I really don't know what to do anymore.
