Opening track / storyboards

We discussed as a group that it would be good to have a opening track. I suggested this idea as other cooking programmes have a opening title taking this in consideration me and milly started producing the opening sound track. We decided to put ourselves forward for this as we are the only people in the group with any sound experience. 

We both knew the track had to be upbeat as our target audience is students. We started to produce sound in garage band as this is the software we're both comfortable with and its appropriate for what we wanted to produce. We was thinking of using a countdown as the programme is called 10 minute student meals, I thought this was a great idea. I suggested that we needed a good back beat to the soundtrack as our target audience is aimed at 18 to 30 year old's. This was easy to produce we used the drum pre-sets which are already in garage band.

Lauren who is the director wanted the soundtrack to last 15 seconds, so we made sure we kept to this time range when producing. We needed a countdown so we searched through all of the pre sets, this took a while as there are so many. But finally we found one that worked nicely. Milly felt the countdown should be at the start however I expressed my opinions on having it at the end and she felt this was the better idea.

My next role was to produce story boards for the shooting script which Milly had already produced. This enabled the group to visualise what the final film would roughly look like. As we have a Facebook group which we've used to keep in contact throughout the weeks, we have been able to discuss ideas and upload what we had produced. This was helpful and convenient for all of us.
