Making the logo
Below shows the video of editing the logo to our film so that it fits well with our audience. For example, I made sure that the logo was in suitable colours such as red to show connotations of danger which is shown in our film with the serial killer. The logo took me about a week to complete as I had to make sure that all the pictures use such as the background, the rose and the blood was cropped and blended together.
First Draft
Below shows our first draft of the film guilty or not. We decided to do this after school so that we had a lot of time to film it and make improvements to scenes that didn't match what we wanted to show in our film. For example, in the part of the scene when the detective is running away from the killer, we had to re-film this 2 or 3 times as other people kept on walking past. When filming the scene, Renecia was directing as she was telling the actors in the scene what to do and what to say whereas I was filming our first draft. We also stayed behind after school to edit it such as the sound and the transitions. However, we had to complete this before a deadline which meant that we didn't have enough time to add in the credits.
Feedback
What was the overall comment on our film? The overall comment was that the sound in our film was good and that the film did look like an action thriller film. However, we need to re-shoot as the fact that we filmed some scenes in the IS room makes the scene less realistic as you can see posters and someone watching us filming.
What do we need to improve? We need to improve the scene that is in the IS room to make it more realistic and to make sure we get the best overall grade.

Vlog
This is the second vlog that we did as a group. I filmed the vlog and uploaded it onto YouTube, Renecia made sure that everyone was clear on what they were saying when talking about the feedback and Maliek was reflecting on what could be improved in our film and what went well in our first draft.
Rough Cut 2
Below is the second rough cut of our film guilty or not. This rough cut mainly involved editing rather than filming. For example, when editing during the lesson we all decided to add in transitions of when the detective was running away to make it more realistic and to make the audience feel like they were experiencing what was going on aswell. We also decided to re-film the detective scene which I was acting in as one of the detectives waking the other one up and informing the others what has happened to the other victims. However, when editing this rough cut, we decided to cut this part out as we noticed that it didn't really match what we wanted to achieve in our film as it was unclear what was going on in this part of the opening sequence.
Credit list
Below is the credit list that I created for our film with the help of my group member. We had to regularly update this as some of the actors had to be change as we had to replace them with other actors. Also we had to change some other parts of the credit list so that we made sure that everyone who took part in the film was credited for what they did.
Feedback from audience
Feedback 1: The use of the room and props that were in the plastic wallet was good as it made the film seem more realistic. However, to improve our film further we need to improve the costumes as the characters don't look like detectives.
Feedback 2: The story line was good as it linked to our genre and it was clear what was going on. However, we need to make sure that we add the credits in order to make our film look like an actual film.
