Ideas

Shooting Schedule

Below is a spreadsheet that shows our filming schedule. It involves a key to explain what each colour means.

Logo

Here is the logo that i designed for our product. It is the name of our production company and i think it works well in the fact that it stands out and is quite unique. It is also simple so there isn't too much going on. I drew some rough ideas down onto paper first and then once i'd chosen which one I liked the most, I designed it on Microsoft Word 2007, using basic shapes. I then copied the logo onto Paint so that it would then be saved as an image. The 'JNM' simply stands for Jack, Natalie, Max.

Photo Evidence

These are a few pictures that were taken whilst filming our opening scene the first time round. I will now have to get a few screen grabs from our final product.

Our Opening Scene...

After watching our opening scene and getting some productive comments back, we decided that there was a lot of changing that needed to happen. Also new shots would be needed. After speaking before we broke up for the Christmas holidays, we decided that it was best to start the filming all over again from scratch. Therefore, we all met up in the Christmas holidays and decided that the filming was to be done in a lane/path in burbage. The great thing about the day we met up was that there was very thick fog, not enough to prevent filming, but a good amount to create a mood for the opening scene (pathetic fallacy). After we filmed what we had planned to film we went back to brainstorm some more ideas. We thought, that as the story was based around someone being stalked, it would be a good idea to have a shot showing lots of pictures on a wall of the victim. The light would be dull so that it would create tension and show an eery environment.
So far, our film is looking up! We had music sorted out, but unfortunately had it made for our original opening scene, therefore now it doesn't sound right meaning we will have to create another piece of music.
I have created another, updated story board for our opening scene and will soon upload it as an animatic onto my blog.

Some more filming...

On Monday, me Jack and Max went to Marlborough common to do some more filming. Due to the very wet grass we had to change some of our scenes. The scene where I was supposed to fall over, we changed to me stopping at a tree in shock and shouting "what do you want?". We also added a few more shots at the start of our film which I think have worked really nicely. After putting the film onto the computer and editing it using iMovie, we as a group have decided that we need to do some changing. We have decided that we are going to take some of the hand held shots out and replace them with normal shots using a tripod, decided that some shots need to be made shorter and we have also decided that we are going to add something into the opening title that will start with something like '3 weeks earlier'. Hopefully this will make the opening titles a little bit more clearer but still keep the audience guessing. So far it is all coming together nicely and we need to start designing a logo and getting some music made for our film!
