Final Task

Draft 2 Group Analysis

This is the second draft of our opening scene. The only difference between this draft and the first draft is the fact that some sound has been added to the clip. For example, we now have sounds  of birds for the sound affects of the film. We also have the caw of a crow, a crow is a bird that is heavily linked with death, so we have put this noise in to try and insinuate the feeling of death. Another sound that we have included in our film is the religious music, we feel that this is appropriate for this film as our sub genre is a religious horror film.

After analyzing this draft, me and my group decided that we still had to apply video affects and transitions. We also need to change the colors in some scenes as half of our opening scene is a nightmare that our protagonist is having.  We also need to adjust some of the sound as it does not sound very good if it just cuts out, we feel that the sound needs to fade out.

Me and my group also picked up some of the positives of this draft, we feel that we have made good progress by including sound. We also feel that we have used appropriate sounds like the birds and the religious music as they all represent something.

Draft 1 Group Analysis

This is the first draft that the editors of my group put together. In this draft we tried to focus on ordering all of clips and editing them together. This version currently has no sound, video effects or video transitions.

After doing this, me and my group learnt that we had to apply sound, video transitions and effects. We also learnt that some of the shots in our film were out of focus, meaning that we had to re - film them in our own time.

When we finished this draft, me and my group watched it over and decided what we liked about it. We said how we thought that we included a great range of establishing shots that set the scene of the opening. Another member of our group said how he thought our group used great initiative to get the shots we needed.

Make-up

Some of the scenes in our film required some make-up, this meant that we had to find someone who could do it. She made a white mark to give us an initial guideline, then added red to make it look like a scratch and then added black to make the color seem more realistic.  

This is the make-up artist experimenting with the colors 

This is the make-up artist applying the scars to our main character.

This is the final Product.

First day of filming review

How did our first day of filming go?
Although we encountered some problems during filming, it ended up being very successful. Me and my group got all of the shots we needed for that part of the opening. We have also arranged dates for more filming and we are hoping they go as smoothly as this one.

What did we learn?
From our first filming experience i learnt that me and my are able to communicate with each other, whether it be giving constructive criticism or voicing our ideas.

What could we do to improve?
During the next filming we could spend more time on the costume and props of the character. We could also spend some time on or try and include some make up in our film.

Location

My group have decided on three locations for our horror opening. The first location which we decided on was my house. The reason for us deciding to film a part at my house is because down stairs his house is the most old fashioned. This is key to set the seen because we want there to be an old fashioned feel.

 The second place where we are filming is George's house because there is a scene in a bedroom and within the group we feel as if my room would be best suited for this. This is because he has an old mirror which we are going to plan on using.

 The last location is going to be in Bob's back garden. The reason for this is because it makes are life filming a lot easier. In Bob's back garden there is a forest fill which means that we don't have to go searching or looking for a forest nor have to try and get permission from anyone.

Animatic

For this task, me and my group decided to split the workload and do different things to complete the task.

My task for this post was to complete some of the drawings that you can see in the animatic.
