Filming In Water

We were recently given a waterproof camera which gave us some ideas for filming. Me and my group decided we would put together a video showing different shots using water and a pint glass. We did this to get an ideas as to whether we want to use it in our 2 minute opening.

More Shot Practise Vlog

Laura and I talk about our shot practise we did down at 'The Green.'

More Shot Practise

Laura and I went to 'The Green' to film a few more shots that may be useful to have practised before we start film for our 2 minute opening.

Pitching Our Ideas

This is the pitch we did to our class about our film opening ideas.

Shot Practise And Pitching Ideas Vlog

Vlog talking about the shot practise and pitching our ideas to the class.

In my house I have this really long hallway which would be perfect for our movie idea. As someone walks down it, suspense would build and we could make it very dark so it would feel scary not only for the character but for the audience.We recently pitched this idea to our class and they thought it was a good idea.

What I Noticed When Interviewing

When I was interviewing I found a lot of people either loved or hated horror film, I found the same reaction with romcoms. Most of the information I received related to these two categories. It was interesting to know this because the ideas we had as a group related more to horror, therefore we could get a feel of what people like and dislike about them.

Interviews

Individually we interviewed random people asking them a set of questions to get an understand of what people look for in a film. This information would be useful later on when we produce our film opening. Once we had gathered our information we looked at each others interviews as a group to get more reliable information.

Film Shot Practise

We have put together a video showing a few camera shots we filmed around the school to see which we like and which we didn't.

What's Happened So Far - Vlog

Decided to make a vlog to talk about what's been going on.

Final Prelim Vlog

Here is a vlog about our final prelim result.

Final Prelim Outakes

Here are the outakes from making our prelim. We didn't have very many but we put together what we had.

FINAL PRELIM

Here is our final draft of our prelim. Overall our group is very happy with what we have achieved and also on how much we have learnt about working as a group and using imovie so far.

Ghost Town

I was in Enfield Town at around 7:00am one weekend when no one was around; this was originally to take photos for photography, however realised they would be useful for Media. The setting was very empty and felt abandoned, almost like a ghost town. It also reminded me or the film 'I Am Legend' with its emptiness. Everything was closed and only around 4 cars went through in the hour I was there. There were no people and it looked like a great setting for the beginning of a movie.

Prelim Storyboard

This storyboard gave as a rough guideline as to what we wanted to achieve in our prelim. We have now finished our prelim and did not stick to everything here, however we included things that visually looked better once we started filming.

YouTube Inspiration

A video on YouTube called "Mother shouts at girls for not flushing the toilet - It wasn't me" inspired us to recreate it for our prelim. It was funny and include the elements which we needed for our video: sitting down, conversation and someone coming through a door. All that was left for us to do was reword it and add in different camera shots and angles. Which we scripted and I will post next.

New Prelim Idea Vlog

In this vlog my group and I talk about changing our prelim idea.
