Film completed

Yay we finally completed our film after some ups and downs on Thursday, unfortunately not to the deadline but we tried to make up for it. we stayed after school for 3 days just to meet the next deadline of Friday. Anyway Issy managed to collect some "scream" sounds from the internet. And we some screams from other people to add to the affect. These "screams" and "stops" are introduced while panning around the dead body. This really adds some more tension suspense as the audience want to see what’s happening in the background, but they don’t. We have added some orchestral music to act as the BGM this also creates tensions and fits in with the thriller convention. Also after looking at the film as a whole we realised some shots were just random and had no meaning to the actual film. I also made a DVD cover just so it gives the audience an insight to what is in the film; it also shows what the thriller genre as a whole shows just from what is on the front and back cover. This DVD cover also shows a 'blurb' just a little insight into the plot of the film. now all left to do is do sections 3+4 and the appendices for the 18th April (im away in Arran for Geog Trip from 15th- 20th will give to my sis to give 2 either mrs b or mr m sorry :) )

hi i have got some good sound effects off the internet to use tomorrow but i lost my digistick at school last week (grrrrrrr) but i am going to try and borrow one off someone so i can bring them in. lauren have you got music? xx issy xx

Still images from film

Hey, i thought tat i would add our still images to the blog.These image are our going to be shown to the suspect by the decterctive in the interigation room. these mages are going to act as graphic matches as we are going to zoom into the picture so it comes to life. but in black and white like a flashback. we choose this as it is very conventional for a thriller.
this week we have stayed behind after school to do some of our editing to use our time as effective as possible. me and issy managed to finish filming on wednesday afternoon and that was the interigation. like issy siad before we are going to put come random sounds of screams in etc to add to the tension and suspense so that the audeince is even more curious as to what is going on in the plot. also issy and i took some random shots of some objects like a pencil rolling, a door handle as these all realte t o our school clues theme. (lauren was on a driving lesson :( ) unfortunatly we have not managed to complete our film for the deadline of today but will hopefully hve it bigger and better by monday. one thing that we have all realised is that its surprsing how it is so easy to stray from our storyboard ideas as you seem to just develop on them once you start filming. also another thing we were lucky that we were able to film our establishing shot outside ixworth police station which works really well especially with the zoom into the window of the interview room. anyway i have rambled on loads now so im off.

p.s

p.s this section 1 n 2 thing is a bit :s xxx

update

hello! thought id write down all our progress. we have totally finished filming now and it's looking good. we made a few changes from the story board to make shots more interesting etc! i made the yearbook prop to use at the murder scenes and it came out well. the reshooting was a good idea and we are all pleased with it this time. im not sure how 2 put clips on this blog yet but will try and find out. stayed after school 2day 2 start editing and it went really well got quite a lot done and know where we are going with it. thought about sound as well; me n justine thought something orchestral would be good n when i got home i thought a loud ticking clock could build tension etc. when we filmed the police station we got some good bird sounds so think we should keep them. joe n ollie ended up acting 4 us and they were very good n we are very grateful n i bossed them about a lot! o and also i think we should have slow-mo sounds during the flashbacks of bangs and girls screaming etc and i think it would be really effective n a good convention of thrillers (the fugative AND memento) so tell me if you think that's good. anyway more editing 2moz! woop! xx issy xx

Women hey!

Lol we make me laugh!

due to my emotional-wreck-ness, and issy's perfectionist-ness [bloody women] we decided to re-do all the shots we did this morning.. meaning we had to change our plans slightly.. as we didnt have chandler (or rhys) to do the footsteps..

oh well.. will be fine in the end.. just got 2 get section 1 & 2 done now!

wooooo!! started shooting our film today. but didnt actually turn out to be be that succesful. after shoot a couple of deaths we realised that it needed to be more realistic. so we have decided to actually make our own year book with the actual school photos and pupils names alongside them. after rethinking our shots we are planning to shoot our deaths on monday. so hopefully that will turn out to be more successful.

p.s well done with the fab storyboards Issy!! :)
