In today's lesson we updated our blogs, adding whatever we thought we needed, photos, journal etc.
According to our film schedule we were meant to start our filming for our title sequence today but we realised that we didn't have the book we are using as the kidnapper's journal/ scrapbook, so we have had to postpone the start of the filming to Wednesday 12th Jan, which is our next double lesson which should work out better for us as it is a double lesson. However, I personally won't be in that double lesson as I'm attending the media and film trip so i won't be able to partake in the start of the filming but, we have discussed that the girls are only going to film the start of the title sequence which is journal on the desk. This is quite easy to do in school time because we have a choice of classrooms that we can film this bit in.


After school, myself and Daisy stayed behind and took photos of recce, this is photos of the location(s) you are hoping to film in. So, myself and Daisy took photos of the classrooms we are considering to film our opening of our title sequence in. Then, we left the school and photographed the street and garages that are shown in our storyboard. All these photos will be shown on all of our blogs over the next few days.

Photos of the settings we are planning to use.

These photos are ones we have just taken of the locations that we are considering using within our title sequence. Also, we have photographed other possible locations that we could use if others aren't available at the time we plan to film.

The following images are where we have planned to shoot our filming for the stalking scene.

Finally, these images are where the stalking scene comes to a height of tension and action and where there is a struggle between the man and girl then the camera will fall to a tilt.

More Surveillance photos.

These are some more images that we decided to take in today's second period.However, we don't think these photos are as good as the ones taken on Wednesday - we were resricted with the space we had to use as it was raining heavily when we went to take the photos so we only had within the school buildings to shoot. So, for these reasons we don't think as a group the photos are as successful as they could have been.

In today's lesson we had an introduction lesson to our new teacher, Mr Purday. So we all explained our plans for our title sequences and what we have put in action so far to start the process of making them, we then started to make a list of what we need to do next so we have all the planning evidence finalised before we start filming. For the second lesson, as a group, we decided it would probably be best to take some more photos as it would be more beneficial if we had a variety of photos to choose from when it comes to adding it in to our 'kidnapper's journal'. After taking the photos we came back to the mac suite and edited to make them look like the surveillance footage, changing the colour, putting the date & time on them and adjusting them. To finish off the lesson we added them onto our blog.

Surveillance Images.

These are all of our images that we have taken and edited. We have tried our best to create CCTV looking cameras and I think our final product for our photos to go in the journal look quite good. Emily and Daisy took on the role of editing and looiked at some real surveillance photos and tried to make them look alike. I am really happy with how they have turned out.

 

 

 

Chosen Images.

 

 

 

Here are all our chosen images - we went through and selected the images that we thought were best out of the ones we had taken and now we are going on to edit them all.
