Filming on schedule!

Wednesday:

On Wednesday, Averielle, Josh and I stayed behind to film the scenes of them together. We borrowed a red dress and black heels and then filmed in the art room. We managed to get most of this scene filmed even though we did not have the knives. We worked through our storyboard after looking at it that afternoon, and found the parts we could do and parts that we couldnt. We decided to film from many different angles so that it worked best when we put it onto the computer.

Thursday:

On Thursday, we had a double media lesson. In the first lesson, Alice removed everything from the media room whilst I uploaded Wednesday's footage onto the computer. Avey went to print off pictures of 'past victims' and created them as pictures from a polaroid camera. Alice and I then set up the 'red room' (pictures soon) and got 3 lamps - although we only used two - and then cut out the squares of red plastic to put over the lamps to get the red effect. We then got a line of string and taped it to the wall. Avey and I got 5 pegs from Art so that we could use them to hang up the pictures, then I went back down to the media room and helped alice to lay out pictures that we weren't using. We then tried the camera out to see if the red effect was picked up on camera. We decided that it looked red enough, even if we thought it had been better before.
When Avey came back down with the pictures, we all decided that the room looked fairly plain, so we got discarded newspapers and random scraps of paper, as well as tape, string, scissors and two trays containing water - which we decided would come across as developers. We then tried to put red crosses onto the pictures and realised you couldnt see them when we started to film, so Avey got some red 'poster paint' and a paint brush from art and we put crosses over the men in the pictures. This worked better and we placed the paint and the paintbrush onto the table so it looked more busy. After we placed these things on the table,  we decided to start filming. I started to film, first going over the stuff on the table, and then working up to the pictures. We found this took way to long, and so Alice had a go at filming from different angles.
We then put the footage onto the computer and it looked better than we thought. The red effect was picked up more on the computer than it was when we were filming, and we watched over past footage. Alice and avey then cleaned up the room, whilst i uploaded the rest of todays footage onto the computer.

Alice and I stayed through our next free period to put the footage together, and look over the footage that had been filmed the past few days. We tried to put the footage together with some of the effects and also tried to put some of the clips together. This proved more difficult than first thought of. After working on this for an hour, we discussed what still needed to be filmed and this is what we thought off.

  • The knife shots to be put in as flashes
  • Showing the map and picture at the end of the next victim.
  • turning on the radio in the red room
Friday:

On friday, Alice and Avey and Josh are staying behind to film their parts of the film. Alice will be filming whilst avey and Josh acting. They will try and do the Knife shots from behind Avey, and then other ways that will help to create a scary effect. We will also have a shot of her opening the knives as this will help the audience to realise what is actually happening. We will then have her showing a picture of the next victim and the map, so that we know that the story is not ending yet but just beginning.

Monday:

On Monday we will film turning on the radio in the red room. This shouldn't take very long and therefore we will have all the footage ready for tuesday.
