We filmed the flash forwards in Emily's shed in her garden. We then uploaded these onto the school computer and started to edit. We Then chose what flash forwards to use and where to put them. I feel athough the first flash forward is put in too early but we had to do this because we were trying to avoid a jump cut.
We chose two songs to use in our film opening to change the viewers modd as they watch. We used quite a dancy song as she is walking home to make the viewers feel happy but then we use a slower scarier song as we realise she is being follwed to make the viewers feel more anxious.
We finished off by putting in all our titles and adding the finishing sound of someone blowing out a candle.
Our filming and editing was successful and Rachael, Emily and myself are all happy with our finished production.

As Media Foundation Production,Filming Week 1, Sunday22nd November
On our fist day of filming we all made our way to Goffs School in Cheshunt, our actors (Goffs school friends of Emily’s) were already in costume and makeup so we didn’t have to stand in the cold wasting time. We decided to film our opening in the evening so at about 5 o’clock when it started to get dark we started filming.
We completed filming her journey home and also when she got kidnapped but then we had to stop as it got late and started to rain. We will continue to finish filming the flash forwards during the week.
We all took it in turns to film to make it fair.
We had to cut out a few shots as there was occasional noise in the background such as someone talking or someone laughing we also had problems having to wait for random people to move out of the way whilst we were trying to film.
I think our filming is so far successful and hope that our next shots will be as successful. Our editing has also been successful but once again despite the computer continuously crashing and deleting our work.

Comments on Animatic
Our Animatic was good because we planned it making sure we included titles, timing and pace.
I think it’s a little bit too long but it doesn’t matter because from where we have created a variety of shots we are prepared to have to take some out whilst filming.
Over all I am happy with our Animatic I don’t want to change anything unless something becomes too difficult whilst filming or if something doesn’t work.

Outline of film opening
My group consists of Emily Thomas, Rachael Welsh and myself, we will alternate roles whilst filming and editing to make sure we all contribute evenly, none of us will be acting because we have found volunteers to act for us.
We are going to film the first two minutes of our opening scene from our film TRAPPED. This film is a thriller and will be aimed at an audience of 16 and over. We chose to do a thriller because it is easily recognizable and the three of us decided to use it because we all like thirllers.
In the opening two minutes we will show a girl walking back home from a night out with her friends, as she says goodbye to her friends she is then walking home on her own, we will show the brief journey of her walking down the road until we see a silhouette of a person following her, she then drops her phone and as she bends down to pick it up she is kidnapped. Whilst she is walking home we will do flash forwards of her in a small inclosed space that looks like the inside of a shed, she is left there with a candle a sleeping bad and some craps of food.

Preliminary exercise and evaluation
My group consisted of Charlotee, Marianna and myself we produced a short film. In this film we had to include match on action, shot reverse shot, sound, mise en scene and general camera skills. We had to film someone walking through a door, walk across the room, sit down with another person and say four lines of dialogue.
Our exercise went well. All of the shots were steady and in focus because we used a tripod, our shots were also all correctly framed using the rule of thirds. The camera hight and position in each shot were correct as was the eyeline match. All subjects are clearly visible and we followed the the 180o rule. I wouldn't change any of the shots but i would include more shorts as our production was very short.
Our match on action was very successful and there were no jump cuts. The pace of the shots were correct and the transitions were not visible. Our shot reverse shot sequence went very well, our dialogue was clear and appropriate. I wouldn't change any editing decisions.
The lighting was good and the background setting was appropriate.I contributed by acting and helping to edit. Our team worked together well and we managed to create a well produced piece of work that we are happy with (despite our computer continously crashing).
