Outtakes
Heres a little Outtakes video from our second draft filming at Windsor an Eaton Riverside station.
The Hermeneutic Code
What is the Hermeneutic Code?
The Hermeneutic Code:
"The Hermeneutic Code contains anything in the text that is mysterious or unexplained, usually leading to questions which the reader needs answered"
In a nutshell the Hermeneutic code keeps the veiwer/reader in suspence and leave them on a cliff hanger. This is a great code to include in films and books etc. Infact its an almost vital part to have in films to get the veiwer hooked! When the Hermeneutic code is used it draws people in, it makes them want to watch more or come back for more. It leaves un answered questions and mysteries that keep you glued to the TV. A brilliant example of the Hermeneutic code is the Saw films. There are 7 Saw films which indicates how well the writer has used the Hermeneutic code, especially as having 7 different films is very uncommon they have done an excellent job at keeping the veiwers glued to thier TV screens wanting to know what happens in the next film, by leaving unasnwered questions in the previous films.
This is something we took on board when filmimng our opening to Blackout. We didnt want to give away too much information so the veiwer will be wanting to see what happens next! We leave a few unanswered question like "Why is the guy getting the tramp?, Who is the guy?, What is thier motive?, What has the tramp done?"

Vlog
After filming our second draft for Blackout, we thought we would make a short Vlog during a free lesson myself, Jamie and Ramtin had. Unfortanuly George was in a lesson. Heres the short video blog talking though everything we've done.
Second Draft.
After all the editing was done, we are able to show you our second draft for Blackout, personally i think its a massive improvement from the first draft adding more story into the short opening, also using more varied shots. Have a look for youself!
Editing
when it came to editing Blackout i was'nt much involved. Not because I cant edit or I was'nt allowed but because we had George and Ramtin in the group. both George and Ramtin spend thier spare time editing and posting videos on youtube and are both very experianced and talented at editing videos
So as a group we all thought it would be best to leave George and Ramtin to edit Blackout as we all knew they would do an excellent job at editing. Both George and Ramtin used PC's to edit Blackout, and used other programmes than the popular Mac programme Final Cut that everyone else in the year was using to edit thier videos. Because of this it did mean not a whole lot of editing was done at school, but instead edited at home. Both Rmatin and George were also the masterminds behind the timelapse at the beggining of the sequence, and they both did an excellent job on it.

Re-Shooting
After getting permission from the Station manager, we spent one morning re-filming for Blackout with our new ideas and ways to improve. Adding in new shots, new angles and new twists to improve the story of Blackout. The filming process did take awhile and there was alot of cuts and bits that didnt make the opening. Here's just a few outtakes from our filming. As yuo can see we had alot of fun filming!
