dummy footage

Whilst starting to edit the dummy footage Sophie decided to leave our group and join another so me and Mel decided to dedicate different jobs between the two of us to make it work. We got our teacher to help us do the filming as there is parts that we could not do on our own due to lack of people in our group.

Risk Assessment

Minutes


whilst doing the risk assessment me and the rest of me group had to think about and consider the possible risks of being in the place we had decided to film in. We decided that we would film at the mill damn which is a woodland area to the side of a river. During our risk assessment we found a few risks that is due to objects lying around the wood, slippery surfaces etc.

the risk assessment did not have t be used as there was no risks that effected us when we were filming.

Recce Shots

Minutes for thriller opening sequence

4th January 2011 -

Sophie, Jasmine and Melissa. We discussed the locations where we could film and the ones that are easy to access for us. We then decided as a group on the theme of the opening and what shots we would use. Some of the shots that we will use include a canted shot of a tree with nail scrapings embedded into it, many POV shots and low angle shots. We will also use a train track that is near us to add a little bit more drama. We will use quick panning to create the effect that the person is running around checking if anyone is behind her. We decided on filming in the woods by Wem mill and the roads surrounding it. We decided to film in the dark as this would look quite creepy and it will create lots of shadows which will add effect. We decided that we would use editors to input sounds such as twigs breaking and heavy breathing.

6th January 2011 -

Sophie, Jasmine and Melissa. Today we started to storyboard our idea, we all drew the shots that would be used in the opening. We will then upload our storyboard to Blogger once it is finished.

Sophie and Jasmine. Today we uploaded more footage as the original footage was lost on our Macs. I continued to storyboard as Jasmine worked on uploading the footage. We had problems uploading as the cameras kept running out of battery.

27th January 2011 -

Sophie, Jasmine and Melissa. Today we were unable to edit our footage as Final Cut would not open our videos. We decided that we needed to re-shoot some of our footage as we missed out shots that are necessary to the opening.
