During the Holiday we will still be going out to film and get the best shots possible and hopefully our actor can make the filming sessions, we have had problems with him because he has had to work during the Friday filming sessions so hopefully we can get more shots of him.

EDITING

Today I stayed behind in collage while Sophie and Rebbecca went out and filmed some more. I stayed behind to make sure the movie was in order and to add music. Even though we have a bit more to film it will be easier to edit with music in the background so we can fit the film with the music.

Friday, Filming

Today we are all going to do the rest of the filming. We will be doing the shots Mr Lewis advised us to do. Doing shots of Conner on the train and we will do some more scenery shots that had to be redone as they were not successful the last time we filmed. We might also add some more as later in editing we can decide which shots look better and help create a seamless looking film.

Tuesday, Editing

Today we captured the parts me and Conner filmed on the Friday. We tried many different ways to see where the parts fitted in best. Looking at some of them there were some problems like, we could see people walking, when the place is to be seen as deserted. Cars went past and in a shot where we had a telephone box and in that part a reflection of Connor was visible. We decided we might redo this shot at a different angle this would help with the cars being seen and the reflections.

On the train back we took some shots of the streets at a high angle and over some fields. Some of the shots we could use while others didn't work out so well as you could see the reflection of the camera in the glass.

Mr Lewis watched what we had done so far and he gave us some suggestion. In a shot I got Conner on the train by mistake and Mr Lewis said we should continue with that. He said, As we are only filming an opening it doesn't have to make much sense. So we decided to do some shots of Conner on the train ( if that is possible) and cross cut it between Nico's part to make it seem like they should be meeting up, But Nico got attacked and left somewhere.
This Friday we will try this out if it is alright to film on the train. If it's not possible to do this, we will continue with our original idea.

Also today as we only had a little bit of work to capture it only took 1 lesson so in the 2nd lesson we went on to Garage Band and tried out different types of tracks we could use. We haven't decided what track we are going to use, as said we might change the plot of the film.

Friday,filming

Today we went and did some filming today. We only filmed some scenery. We filmed for brief shots of empty streets, which will show in the film that the place is deserted. We also filmed some shots in the park of the trees and the water.
Also we was going to do some shots in the church garden but the place is now locked which took the annoying as we was got Conner hand all blooded and dirty to do a close up of him opening it. So we had to cut it. If it is not possible to film in the church we will have to find another graveyard or we could change that scene to a run one. We have not yet decided.

Even though of this disadvantage we still had practice to applying the make-up and how we can use it to our full advantage to make it as believable as possible

Tuesday lesson

Today we uploaded what we had filmed the following week and edit part of it together. We also learnt how to fade scenes into the next frame, this helps make the film have continuity and it doesn't jerk one scene to the next. So far we have got most of the scenes together, but it is not 100% complete. There is a lot more editing and more filming to be done.
So far with our work that we have uploaded and edited we are close up to 2 min, So many of the scenes we have filmed have to be cut down and some others that seemed to drag it out were cut.
All of us did some contribution to the editing.
Also when we learnt how to fade scenes we tried some other to see what they were like and if they could be used, the majority of them didn't look right so we wouldn't use them.

Mr Lewis gave us some advice on how to help improve our work. Instead of just watching Nico walking we, could cross cut some scenery, of the trees and water. We decided to do this, so on Friday when we go to film we will film some scenery.

Images from 1st day of filming

Here are a few pictures took on location.

1st day of filming

At 12.00 we left college and took the train down to Glossop to do the filming. Sophie wasn't with us as she was not well. So it was me and Connor who did the filming while his friend Nico did the acting. We went down to manor park to do the first scene. Connor bought some fake blood to make it look like Nico had been attacked this make it more realistic.

The first scene we shot was a close up of Nico on the ground. We both filmed different shots and did shots at different angles. After that we filmed roughly in order the way the film was going to go. We had to repeat some shots as it didn't look right. We had a bit of trouble with the steady cam as when we was filming it was shaky, then we realised we could stick it on the tripod. After that it was much simpler. We filmed Nico walking through the tree and along the path and e filmed from many different angles to make it look more interesting and then later on in editing we would choose the best one.
We did not exactly follow the storyboard, as we forgot to film him washing the blood off him. And we decided not to film it otherwise we would have to change what we had done so far.

We got a good part of the filming done. We mostly got him walking through the field.
We spent just over two hours filming.

Whats going to happen?

Directing/Acting
For our main task all of us will be doing the directing and a friend of Conner’s, Nico will be doing the acting as the man who has amnesia. There is going to be a flash back scene where another person who is an antagonist, but there face can't be seen just the dark outline, with this Sophie will be doing it, this shot will only last a few seconds.

Costume
There is no certain costume that needs to be worn, its just casual clothes that can get dirty and that can get fake blood on. To make sure continuity is kept to a minimum we'll make sure he wears the same clothes.

Schedule
We have decided to do the filming on Friday when all of us have time to do it, and on Tuesday we will do the editing in lesson and also the blog.

2nd March

We weren't able to do any filming today. Therefore we decided to listen to different sounds that we could use in the task. Most of them didn't sound very good so we looked at sound on YouTube. We didn't make any decision to what we are going to use. When the filming and editing is done then we will add sound, that’s if its needed.
