Filming Week Two and Editing

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.
