Communication between the Group

 This first screenshot was after Josh had driven to the location the first time with his family and he sent us pictures of the Bir Zekreet Pillars. We were discussing as a group whether we believe they are suitable to use.

 This was after the first time we shot out in the desert and Diego couldn't make it. We were filling him in on the progress we had made and showed him the rover shots later that night via 'Google Drive.'

Editing Process

In the following video, you can see Josh using Adobe Premier to add in planets to the back of one of our establishing shots. He adds in the images from the internet and fades them slightly, pushing the smaller one to the back of the frame. He also adds more of a purple hue in to the back of the shot. This inevitably became one of my favourite shots and I was so excited to see how it would come out when put together with the rest of the film. Josh did a really good and high quality job with all the editing he did. Whilst editing Josh recorded his screen using Quick Time Player and sped up the process just to give an example of the editing. In reality this took about an hour and a half to edit.

Draft Film Evaluation & Targets

Our Title Analysis

We used a website called 'cool text.com' to create our title. I think the font of the title definitely reveals the Sci-Fi genre as it looks robotic and strong. 

 The word "Andromeda" is very vague and doesn't give anything about the story away (unless you are very well informed about the universe and understand that it is the name of a nearby Galaxy.) Much like the title "Interstellar," it sounds very futuristic and other worldly, and fits in with the conventions of the sci-fi genre. Not only did we want the name of the film to sound like it could fit in the genre, we wanted it to look like it too. So, the font features a an unnatural and futuristic looking blue glow that surrounds all of the letters. There is a also a light coming from an unknown source in the distance that highlights the text. This lens flare could be anything from the dying sun to an exploding star and is all up to interpretation and will hopefully encourage the viewer to go out and watch/ buy the film.
