Risk assessment

We had to have a risk assessment for when we were filming. I asked the rest of the group and they came up with the same ideas as i thought or a bit more. For example:
-keep cables tidy
-Don't have drinks near electricals

And other things like this.

Feedback of first draft

We shown our first draft to our teacher and part of the class to gain feedback. Overall the feedback was great, however someone pointed out that from a certain point it looks more like a trailer than an opening. We will take this feedback into consideration and improve the way it looks.

Last bit of filming

To add to the first/rough cut we need to film the last part which is when Laura and Shaun are walking and meet each other. We have planned to do the filming this afternoon.

First/rough cut of our production

This is our rough draft of our main production. It is called Heavon's Devils.

Indoor Fliming Finished

On Tuesday, we finished the indoor filming round Laura's house.
There was a change in plan with a setting which we coundn't use due to it not being what we needed.

We have had a few changes to the indoor filming:

- The characters are now just Shaun and me

- The plot is now slightly different we had to cut some of the dialogue (This is because we felt that it made the beginning a bit too complicated and it didn't set enough of an enigma)

- The shots are predominantly CUs. This is to capture an intensity of the character's emotions.

So that we can capture the 'film noir' atmosphere in our production, we closed the curtains,blinds,doors, this is so that the majority of daylight was shut out of the room.  The only problem was that there was still some light shining through the top of the curtain, we coundnt do anything about this unfortunetly. In our production we chose to use bright lighting in areas which brought in focus to a particular area in the frame.  When we come to edit the image of the film itself, we will play around with the contrast, this will be done to find further emphasise these areas if it is needed.

Filming

Seeing as Laura is better we are going to finish the filming at her house this afternoon. When we have finished, we will make a rough cut and show the rest of the class to get feedback. This will be done on Friday. Once we have got feedback we will edit the rough cut into a final draft.

Problem with filming

It turns out that Laura has become ill and we need to film at her house to finish the last part of the film. So we have to try and film as soon as she is better becuase of the deadline being close for the final cut of the filming.

Post pone filming

We have to postpone the filming this afternoon because ive got lessons and havent got time to film with the others. So we will have to Film later on this week.
