I would have my video uploaded or a link to it but i am currently having issues.
I have added in my own studio name instead of using a pre-excisting one, i called it 'Jackson Swallow Movie Productions' hopefully this will allow me to receive more marks, i made this in around 30 minutes give or take and used a software called 'Motion'. I also added in the soundtrack of a storm playing in the background to help build suspense and tension in the following film.
I am now in a group by myself, my former partner and i have gone different ways in terms of our desired ending, the music i have decided to keep in is a cover of 'Chet Atkins - Waltz For The Lonely' i think the music works well with the video as it is a calming music yet at the same time doesn't give the intention for the viewer to be board. Some reviews of the class said that they did not think that the music fit in terms with the Film Noir,  i have decided against changing it as at the end of the day not everyone will like everything. i changed my ending so that it reverses the clip in 20X the speed to the beginning followed by a sudden shot of both of our eyes (half and half on the screen), i believe this adds a great deal of tension and suspicion to the video encapsulating the viewer to be intrigued to watch the rest of the film. after the sudden high tension rewind and shot i goes back to calmer music showing the title of the film, this is because i want my film to add mystery instead of just going into the full action of a Film Noir, this way my audience will hopefully feel more hooked on it and concentrating on the story more.
