'Shernot Holmes'

The production of Shernot Holmes first began with the writing of the script. This quickly became as difficulty as it took longer than originally planned; eventually the script was complete on the 18th November (week beginning) and we moved on to the soundtrack. The original draft of the 'Shernot' script featured a character (Lestrade) which was deemed to offensive and was removed and replaced with a less-offensive and more comical version of the character in version 2. Although we both attempted to create separate music, one with 'garageband' and one with 'soundtrack pro' we settled on Brandon's version of the music as it seemed to suit our version of Sherlock better.

Below is the creation of my version of the soundtrack (which was eventually not used)

Although 'Shernot' is a comical production, we wanted the to falsely lure the audience in and play with their thoughts, to make them think this is an ordinary 'Sherlock Holmes' production when in fact it is the exact opposite, we did this by making the theme music/background music much like that of a crime drama. To film the production we used a Cannon 600D and recorded sound with a boom microphone as Cannons are known for having considerably poor sound quality compared to their video quality.





UPDATE (16/12/13)
The filming for 'Shernot' has been completed and it is currently in the editing process.
There were some technical difficulties but these were eventually fixed and filming was completed on schedule; Although many scenes were cut due to timing and I personally do not have high hopes for the project, I feel that because of almost half of the script being scrapped, the film will reach no-where near the 5 minute mark and this is a problem.

 
UPDATE (19/12/13)
'Shernot' has been edited and is very nearly complete, all that is left to do is go through and add sound effects where needed and render the final version and upload it to the blog/YouTube. Although I stand by what I said earlier, I still feel as though the filming/pre-production of the 'Shernot' could have gone better than it did. The blames for this are nothing more than our own poor-planning skills; it was left until the 11th hour due to the actor playing Sherlock was unsure about his own availability. In theory, We should have organised this a great deal more than we did. If we were given a chance to go back and film again at some point then I, personally would consider planning more, Brandon however may have a different view on things.
