costumes

Our actress, Liza will wear a purple skirt, with black tights, as well as a black vest top and a grey cardigan. In the scene where liza walks in through the door she will be wearing a leather jacket and will be carrying a black over the shoulder bag.

Change of story

When we went to film, we soon found out that certain aspects of our story board did not work out. So we re planned our story, which means we will have to re do our story board. We all decided this as a group as it was the easiest way of doing things.

First Day Editing

Our first day editing went ok, comparing that we only had 2 hours to get the footage on the computer and start editing. We first of all started off putting the footage onto the Mac, but some of the footage didn't go onto the Mac and we figured out that the tape we used was getting old. We thought we may had to re-film some shots, but we finally got it onto the Mac. We then had to start editing it by using Final Cut Express, but we had trouble with this because none of us had ever used the programme before. By time we learned the basic's, we ran out of time to edit, so we decided to finish it off in next lesson.

Second Day Filming

Second day filming, we decided to change a few of the shots, and also decided on a different ending. We did this because we felt like we was running out of time to do the original idea, and we also thought the new idea was better.
Ella and myself (Carmen) worked behind the camera. While Ella was filming, I was directing, and while I was filming, Ella was directing. We filmed in my house again to which we decided on more shorts such as putting the camera in the fridge (Alex's idea), to which Liza was a fantastic actor again.
We had a bit of trouble getting a few of the shots as we had to hand-hold the camera for the over the shoulder shot, but we got a decent shot in the end! We also had a bit of trouble shooting when Liza walked into the front room and turned off the TV because we had some house-props in the way, but we got a good shot in the end by moving the remotes from the puffey to the cabnet below the TV.
Overall, we didn't get much done but it took us a good few hours to get juts a few shots and come up with alternatives for shots / scenes that didn't work. Myself and Ella worked very well together including Liza and Alex and Harry's input :)

Story Board For Horror Film Opening

These are our story boards from when I (Carmen) came up with the idea of the story. We then worked together as a group and decided to change the drawings and make them look a bit more proffesional and easier to understand. Harry drew the new version of the storyboards, and myself, Ella and Alex wrote about the camera shots and information that was needed.

First Day Filming

Our first day filming was very productive. We travelled to one of the group members house (Carmen). During this time we filmed most of the house scene which consisted of our actress walking through the front door, then into the living room in which she put her jacket and bag down. She then walked into the kitchen, where she placed her keys on the work surface and opened the fridge. Whilst looking for a drink in the fridge, she then hears the TV come on to which she heard white noise. She then walked out of the kitchen, into the living room and turned the TV off.
We filmed using a wide variety of camera shots which included a panning shot, wide shot and long shot. This took over 2 hours to which we managed to get quite a lot done.
