EDITING LOG
(Note - Sorry if this is scrappy or unreadable..I'm copying my quickly scrawled notes which for your sake I've touched up a bit):
Have removed all the footage that is simply unusable for example when Louis' moustache drops off of his face. Now have 16 minutes of footage. Have to get it to 5 minutes/ hmmmmm.
Have ordered the footage. Editing the duel to the Morricone track : A fistfull of dollars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILB0yIn6jBg&feature=fvst) shame I cant use this track its perfect.
Beginning Title sequence over blue sky before pan down. A homage to one of the best parts of the Spaghetti Westerns - the title sequences. Shame I only have 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes for it. Title appears with gunshot - trying to get it as similar as some of Morricone's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9w2sqfNJuE&feature=related (great isn't it? skip the first minute in if your strapped for time). The font is as similar as I can get it to a spaghetti western font (http://www.dafont.com/eastwood.font) quite pleased with this font. What colour should it be? White. Red gives good connotations of blood/violence, but looks crap against a blue sky. White stills works and added with gunshot, theme of violence probably isn't lost.
Editing to storyboard - nice and simple steps, but very long process.
Need to dub sound such as footsteps but especially voices. The actors voices don't sound right.
You could be more clear as to what the codes and conventions of Western title sequences are (deconstruct 3 closely) and how you use, challenge or develop those ideas
