Group - Our Final Shoot

Yesturday we carried out our final shoot, in which we did the sports center scene and the ending bedroom scene.



For the sports centre scene we needed to show the victim in a dat to day environment socializing to show where he has been.









The second scene in the bedrooom was to show what happened earlier that day, flashing back to where he is fine to further represent him as a normal kid. Also the mirror shot and his arrogant remark was to show the type of charcter he is, and his peers' facial expressions show what people think of him. We did all our needed to shots to the level that we wanted, which left us adequate time to edit it.

Rough Cut

We have shown our rough cut to other pupils and teachers in our class. We got some positive feedback and some constructive critisism to help us improve.
The critisisms came mostly about our title pages and the fonts used, they were too bold and styalised for basic titles. Also the positioning of the titles, everyone was in the middle of the screen. Moving titles in sync with the action allow the viewers to concentrate on the main line of action on the screen.
Some positive comments came from our photo effects used, the use of saturation and contrast allow the flashbacks more obvious.

Possible Sounds and Music

I feel that some of following bits of sound and music could be included in our film opening:

• UK Call Tone
• Dialing Tone
• Heartbeat
• Police Sirens

Group - Our Second Shoot

We have just captured the footage from our second shoot, it went much better than the first one as we planned it more thoroughly and as we had filmed at our location already we had a better idea of where the camera could be. We need one more shoot and some sound recordings and we will have everything ready for editing.

This shot is used in a group of stills with a camera click. It gives it an effect as it is part of a crime scene adding mystery of what has happened.

This shot gives the story some background. it allows the audience to see what the character was doing and gives a little insight into his personality.

Group - Our 1st shoot

We have been out for our 1st shoot today. Although we are not to happy with some of the shots, it has helped us in realising what we now need to shoot and what shots we will involve. It was more complicated than first thought but we feel we have overcome some of the challenges faced and with some further planning will be able to get the perfect shots needed.
Organisation was a factor as we did not think about some important things needed for the shoot. Our actor had to leave and some shots were not as we wanted.

Here is one of our first shots filmed, it was planned to be our opening shot adding suspision oh why the character is on the floor and what has happened prior to the event.







This is our favorite shot of the first shoot. It reveals to the audience that the main character is beingh followed by a suspisious suspect. it gives the audience anticipation of what will happen.

Group - Animatic - Thoughts

After filming our story board and turning it into an animatic, we have realised that more shots are needed. instead of only a LS and CU, we will try different angles and a bigger variety of shots.
The length of the animnatic was also a big short, this is good as it will allow time for the extra shots we are looking to include in the actual filming of our sequence.
It has also helped us with sound, it allows us to realise when and what sounds need to come in, the length of sounds and the volume.
