New Plan....Again.

We are refilming our opening because we thought it was too boring and all over the place. I (Sian) have already filmed the killer(Sarah) drugging the drink with out Abi yesturday(17/03/10). Just need to meet up after school sometime to finish the rest which can be done in one day.

Drugging scene....
Sarah crushing up the drug. We used asprin for the tablets then swapped it with health salts to pour in the drink so it would fizz (shown in picture below.





In this picture, its a shot of the glass and within the glass you can see the killer walking away. This is effective because you can see their whole body but the glass distorts their body shape making it difficult to know if the killer is female or male.

Forest Scene Beth Getting Ready


Abi Dressed as the killer

Problems...

After adding all the clips of the forest scene onto the timeline, it turned out to be too long. If we delete some of the clips, we think it will not make complete sense. Also, there is a clip we need to record but might have to do the party scene again as Abi's kitchen has been redecorated.

The Forest scene, the audio is sort of poor. We filmed near a river and the sound fades Beth out a bit. Also, when we use different shots, you can tell they're different part of time as the sound of the shots changes. For example, one shot the river is quiet and in another shot the river is loud.

The party scene, the lighting was all over the place. When beth is getting ready the lighting is bright and when shes going down the stairs it's really dark. We need to make it look like it's night time and the lighting from outside ruins it.

The music, doesn't really fit into the genre very well. We need music that fits into a party style theme but also needs to have a bit of horror in it to show the genre of the film opening.

Moodboard...


More Changes

we've decided that the music is too upbeat for the film and does not capture the mood well enough. We need low tempo, errie sort of music and right now it's 'too happy'

Changes

I shown Dani Tuffen the begining of mine and Abi's video and also the 'gadgets' i
have on the Video studio that I'm using and shes suggested instead of fading out at the end of the summit entertainment clip like this...


to paint over this clip instead like this...

These are the un-edited clips that i quickly put together for this blog. In the video they are slower and goes with the video quite well.

Pitch!
