Draft storyboard.

These images show our first draft of our storyboard. This is not necessarily our final storyboard but this gives us an idea of what to include and the different aspects that might be in our film.

Tester shots

We travelled to our location with our actors and filmed some testers shots which we would do similarly in the real thing. We also edited it on Premiere Pro to increase our editing skills and to make the videos become more fluent. However the quality of the footage is quite blurry therefore the standard is not the highest quality.

Permission Letter

This is a print screen of the email that we will be sending to the Northamptonshire council asking for permission to film in our selected area. We also included a birds eye view of our location so the council have a visual of where we want to film in Chacombe. We  overlooked this email as a group to decide if there is any elements we want to add in. After that we sent the email.

Makeup and special effects- Recreating fake blood.

For our film opening we need to create the effect of fake blood. After researching this on Youtube we found this video which was quite simple and realistic and only required 2 or 3 ingredients. We will make this fake blood ourselves and post pictures that are step by step showing the progress we will make whilst creating the blood. We will use this fake blood on the weapon, the antagonist and the victim. However we will not use too much blood as we do not want this opening to be gory because the classification of our film is a 15.

This is video from Youtube and shows how to make a bruise only using eyeshadow. We tried to  recreate this look for our opening.

                                     

This image is of Katie's sister. Katie watched a video on Youtube so she would be able to recreate the effect of a bruise.

 This is an image of the fake blood that Katie created.

Premiere Pro task

We created this video using the software Premiere Pro and edited several clips together to create a sequence. We also added a non diegetic sound track and sound effects to the sequence.

Communication

To be able to communicate well with my other team members we have set up a group chat on Facebook which will enable us to communicate swiftly and easily with each other. Using this group chat is a good idea because all members have facebook which means that this method is easily accessible. To ensure that communication is happening between members of my group and the actors we have hired to be in our film we will make another group chat which will include our actors in. Doing this will mean that we will be able to contact them easily where they are at home or on the go. This chat will also enable our actors to ask us any questions or if they have any queries about what they will need to bring or do. The chat is also a way to inform us if the actors are going to be late or will not be able to turn up for filming sessions.

Before and after the filming process my group and I will try to have frequent meetings discussing the next task that we will do for our film and any problems that we have been finding during the filming process. We will also try to have meetings with our actors every week to make sure they are aware of what they are doing in the next filming session. We will also use these meetings to answer any questions or problems that our actors may have.
