3O/O1/11

Today we went back out to film footage for our opening. We decided to change our time to the afternoon because it got too dark the last time we filmed and it didn't flow together.

We used a lot of different camera angles today and camera movements such as tracking and panning. We also decided to add on an extra scene at the start as we didn't think it would last for 2 minutes.

We will now go out next weekend to film the final scenes for our opening, which includes the props that we have bought. Then we will have finished our production stage of our opening.

17/O1/11

Today we decided to go out and film more footage for our horror opening as we don’t have at least half an hour of footage yet. When we got to our location we started to film more scenes using different camera angles.

As we were filming it started getting too dark, because of the time that we were filming. So we decided not too use some footage as you couldn’t see it clear enough.

We then decided we would change the time of our opening from evening time to the afternoon when it is light, so that it is easier to view all of our footage, and so it doesn’t get dark throughout filming.

Today we uploaded our footage onto our iMac in the media room. We looked through all of it and noticed we needed to film more. This is because we only have about 3 minutes worth of filming. We now also need to re-film the start of it as it looks to light to the rest of our footage.

Today we booked out the cameras so we could begin to film our teen horror film. We went to our chosen location after school before it started to get dark, as we wanted the lighting to be a little bit dark but a good lighting so we could still film. We stuck to our storyboards for the start of our opening but we also added in more scenes so the whole opening would flow together. It took us about an hour to get all the footage we needed, but because of the lighting we may need to go back and film the start of our opening again.

Filming

We originally planned to complete our filming in the Christmas holidays.
However due to the snow and the icy conditions, we plan to do it in the next couple of weeks after the Christmas break instead.
This will make sure that our footage has continuity and that it is safe for us to film, for example when we are running.
