Filming Session 10/02/10

We met together on the 10/02/10 at Joe's house in Widdington. We chose this area to film as it has rural country lanes and there is not much traffic so it is ideal for filming as we can get clear shots without interference from other road users. As it's a village it has a pub, park, and recreational grounds so we had a variety of places to film. Weather conditions were unexpected however this worked to our advantage as the snow created a greater sense of mystery on the other hand we need to be careful as we need to match our previous filming with our future scenes. Although we did the majority of our outside filming and close ups in the dark will not show the change in weather. Overall we filmed around approx. 10 scenes by doing this uploading them onto the mac we have decided to re film some of the inside shots. In our next filming session which we have planned to commence during the half term this gives us more flexibility as a group as we will all have more free time.

Adding to the credits

For the benefit of the exam board Joe, Tom and I all have to have a title with our candidate name and number. As we planned our titles at a later date, it won't be a problem adding this to them.

Seven Opening Credits

We are planning on basing our credits on Seven. We like how you see

small clips of the storyline, then you see who stars in the thriller. We are also hiding the identity of our antagonist to create suspense.

Actors for our film

Antagonist- Tom (dark clothing as its associated with crime as its easier to disguise your identity)

Victim- Joe ( Casual clothes with a bandage round his eyes to show he has substained a recent injury)

Blind mans friend- external actor ( casual clothing guiding temporarily blind man into his house)

Camera Crew- Joe, Grace and Tom

Opening Film Credits Ideas

I researched what needs to go into film credits. They are usually text shown on a blank screen although, like the James Bond films, some opening credits are built around some sort of animation. Even though this would be interesting and add intrigue to the story, because of time constraints it is virtually impossible to do this. Also we are at risk of deterring away from the story too much.

As we are only making an opening sequence, I researched into what is typically seen in opening credits as the end credits will not apply to us.

Title - The name of the film
Cast/Starring - Main characters (with cameo sometimes added)
In association with
Presented by
Narrated by
Writers/Creators - Based on, Written by
Production - Produced by, Directed by

Station idea

We have had a fault with filming at the station as national rail have not allowed any filming to take underway at the station in newport so we are going to have to film from out of the station and just look in through the zooms.
