graphic match

Within our opening we planned to have a graphic match that follows on from our establishing shot of the house. The establishing shot was to be a picture of a house which would then zoom into a shot of the moon on the right hand side behind and above the house. The shot of the moon would then graphic match into a extreme close up of the protagonist's necklace.

Firstly we put an image of the moon on the premiere time line. To try out our idea so that we wouldn't waste our time later shooting the moon and house for it not to work or look sloppy anyway.

By putting this together on premiere, you can see from the screenshots that it worked very well however we would not being able to use this image of the moon due to copy right, as well as it not being a moving imagine or our own original filming. Moreover this image of the moon is very clear as well as being on a jet black background- something that looks very idealistic and perfect. We realised that ours may not work this well however we would give it a go anyway. Prentice was to do the filming of this part as his house was the house we were using for the establishing shot. Prentice went home and tried on several occasions to take this shot of the moon however it did not work. We found that to moon was not full therefore would not match with the shape of the necklace. As well as this on another occasion Prentice found that the sky was too cloudy therefore didn't give the effect we wanted to create. These problems brought our attention to the fact that our graphic match probably wasn't going to work out therefore meaning we would have to think of another new original idea.
