Production Obstacles

8th October 2010

We faced a few obstacles while filming. One, was that nobody in my group organized actors. This created an argument because we disagreed on who's job that was. However, I searched the school and found a few people that were willing to help us out. Another problem was that people were messing about a little bit and not getting straight to work. This annoyed me because I wanted to get the filming over and I ended up loosing my temper. Hopefully in the future I will learn to keep my calm and be more understanding. I think a large obstacle we faced was acting. Jamie volunteered to act and we allowed him without seeing his acting. This was a mistake because he was terrible at acting bringing down the whole mood of the film. However, I think we handled these problems and worked around them well.

Production Success

8th November 2010

This is the day that we filmed our piece. I was very pleased with the turn out. I think that we achieved a variety of shots and were left with enough material to edit and create a good horror opening. I was quite proud of myself because we faced a couple of difficulties and mishaps but we worked through them and compromised and we completed the task. We are also ahead of schedule which is great

STORYBOARD

Synopsis

In the opening we are going to have a series of random clips that doesn't really make sense. this is going to build suspense. we will have kitty and her younger brother rory the first killers. we will film in the school. every time kitty and or her brother rory kill someone they have the same mask as them and they start killing people too. so the killers are multiplying. We are hoping to mix both the thriller and the horror genre by basing the movie at night with lots of shadows and mystery. The killers will be wearing completely dark clothes and pale white masks that will give them a spooky aura. To make it a thriller the opening will be broken up by the credits which will be intrusive ensuring the viewer only sees snapshots of what is going on. it will be erriely atmospheric. we will have quick cuts and very unnatural noises.

Last lesson we were discussing our final ideas. Jamie drew the story board, George did the call sheet, and me and Taylan wrote the script. We got together and discussed our ideas. We decided that in the opening one person gets killed. Our story is about a group of students that get locked inside school and end up getting killed on buy one. However, we are only filming the opening. In the opening sequence a group of teenagers are discussing a party. A boy called Sam asks if he can come. They laugh and walk away. When he's trying to run after them he trips over. When picking up his stuff he is confronted and killed by the killer. Then we will flick to a shot of the teenagers realising they are locked in and walking back into school.
I am really looking forward to filming but I am especially exited for editing. This is someting I feel I am quite good at and is possibly something I would like to pursue.
What I hope to get out of the filming session is a wide range of shots to create an interesting atmosphere in the final piece.
