Props

We only had two props, the phone that the protagonist uses and the metal bar the attacker uses to knock her out. we were considering having the phone crack after it drops,  but decided that it would be too hard to read the completed downloading bar. We also briefly considered having the metal rod swapped out with a baseball bat, but realised that a hint metal rod was more realistic, as it is more easily concealed.

Trouble with the credits

During the reaction it came to my attention that there was a repeated name in the credits that had to be changed. Unfortunately, the new title kept dropping in quality half way through the typewriter effect, and it would not go away, no matter how many times we started from scratch. Eventually we figured out the problem and managed to change the title so that it did not turn pixelated.

Blip in the title

Unfortunately, there is a blip in our title where the font flickers for a second. We have worked extensively trying to correct the problem but we couldn't find any reason why it should be flickering, and therefore couldn't fix the problem.

Title

We decided to have our title 'wipe' from the screen as Kira ran past, and we achieved this through keynote. The editing was extremely fiddly and intricate as Kira did not always run at the same speed, so it didn't look right when the text decreased steadily, but we managed to edit it so it was relatively smooth.    

Typewriter effect

Once we decided to use keynote we suddenly had a wider range of effects to use on our titles. Kira had the idea of the typewriting effect, and we all readily agreed, as it was very fitting for the atmosphere and themes of our film.

Typeface choice

We had some trouble choosing the font for our credits. We were originally going to use iMovie to produce our titles, but both the choice of fonts and the choice of where to place the titles was limited, so we moved onto keynote, where the font choice was considerably larger. After looking at all the available fonts we eventually chose 'Lucida sans typewriter' as it fitted the theme of spies and secret agencies that would be much larger in the latter part of the film.
