Editing And Cutting Down

I was editing with Nadia during Tuesdays lesson and did some more today to find a lot of out footage is very long and we are having difficulty cutting down to make our opening only 2 minutes.

It is currently 2 minutes 51 seconds without the kitchen footage.

Money Shot

Last week Laura and I made a vlog talking about our new 'money shot' idea. We mentioned how we would use an iPhone to do this, however, when we tried to stand it inside the draw and position it how we wanted it to look, the idea was not successful.So we used the flip camera instead ad are very happy with the footage. So far we think we have filmed all the upstairs footage we will need and will film the downstairs footage on Thursday.

When filming the upstairs footage we needed extra actors. Kieren who we introduced in a vlog recently who plays the guy in the house and we also used my mum to play Laura's mum. It took a long time to film these scenes as directing was proven to be more difficult then we had anticipated. We eventually got the footage and are currently editing.

Vlog

Laura and I where editing today and made a vlog to talk about it and and our new idea.

Vlog: Our Final Practise

So today Laura, Nadia and new group member Kieren came round and we filmed our final practise footage of 'the guy in the house' and did a vlog about it.

Filming At My House

Here are the shots we did recently at my house as that will be the setting for our film opening. In this video the shots are not edited together chronologically but they will defiantly be re-filmed and used in our film opening.

First Draft Storyboard Vlog

On Monday Laura and Nadia came to my house and we did a vlog I talking about the storyboard we have put together for our film opening. We also talk about the setting of the film and in this vlog it shows my kitchen where some of the film footage will be shot.

First Draft Storyboard

We have put together a rough storyboard which we will follow and use when filming our two minute opening. We are not yet sure how much of it we will definitely use so we are currently putting together a practise video using the shots on the storyboard.

Honda Advert

I was watching TV the other day and I saw this new advert for Honda and found it really interesting. It created different optical illusions using different camera angles.

Filming Schedule

We would need to film our two minute opening early evening possibly after school as the setting for our film needs to be dark in the evening. We wanted this because it creates more of a "horror atmosphere".

Schedule:

Monday 12th
Tuesday 13th

Setting:

My house and street at 3:30pm.
