Todays filming

Today we're filming the running shots, we've looked through all our test shots to choose what angles and techniques we liked and are going to recreate. We're then going to come back and sort through the footage we already have and start editing to create a rough draft.

Test Shots

This lesson we are going to do some test shots of our running scene, we will do this so we have practice with the cameras and can plan how we are going to film this scene and what angles work well to build tension through out the scene.We are going to try different things to try and get the effect we want, so we are going to try running with the camera after her (to try and put across her fear), we also are going to try to do a far off shot to see how that would look, we are also going to try to do it so she runs past the camera in a messy fashion. We will post up our attempts afterward so we can evaluate and chose which effect we want.

Ident

This lesson we have been making an ident to go at the beginning of our film using the program photo shop.

Thriller Music Practice

This lesson we have been using garage band to make a piece of music to go with the credits of a film called taking lives. From doing this it will help us with making our own opening by seeing what instruments and beats work well to build suspense for a thriller, as well as giving us practice at using the program garage band. We also looked at the music used in other thriller films to give us an idea of what music helps to build suspense and what works well.
