Today's Media Lesson

We got our Unit 2 Introduction to Media. Pre-production.
So i just did some extra work and finish the 1st image because i didnt do it. I only did one of the cameras so i drew another camera and then wrote down information.

Garage Band

This is my garage band song i created for my New York video i did a few weeks ago.
I combined a few songs together and this is what it came out like.

GROUP 1

This is our group working on this project.

When filming in the forest...

Filming in the forest and we all took part in this sequence but the director Tom Adams.
Hes been directing the film, not all of it but most of it and also did some of the camera work which was quite good as 3 persons in our group were acting.

Clown

this is the clown mask we are using for this project which is played by two persons in this group.

By Louis Davis and me Paula Perez.

Change of Ideas

We started filming and going along with the story board and the shot list, but then when we were filming sequence 2 in the forest we thought of more ideas and we put all of our ideas together and we realised it could actually be better than our first idea.
So now we've changed a bit sequence 2.
Also its been raining quite a lot so it was quite difficult to film in the forest, so we're kind of rushing but i think we will manage to get everything done for friday and then when i have everything i can then edit everything and put both of the sequences in the MASTER sequence then maybe add more effects.
And also i've been doing the credits, which is quite a lot of pressure so im thinking about doing the credits all together as im still editing the video so i haven't stopped working at all.
Im also coming in early every time i have media first thing in the morning, and i spend most of my breaks and lunches in media as well because im trying to get a distinction by putting effort in this video and also doing blog posts along the way.

Video Part 2

This is the sequence 2 when we're filming in the forest, its not done yet because we filmed it and then we realised that one of the clips jumped to the next one and it looked horrible so we had to go out again the next day and film again the same shots, then it started to rain so we had to go in so we didnt get a chance to get out and film again on that day or today.

Video Part 1

This is as far as i go with the video, thats only the first sequence but i have done some of the sequence 2 as well.
It took us quite a while to find a perfect and FREE room to film all the clips in the same place, but we managed to get a free room for a day and we hurried up and we got all the clips so then we could move on to the forest and do the rest of the video which its not finished yet.

Credits

Its not done yet but i thought it would be a good idea to use photoshop and then later on do our own credits together as in making a video for the credits because it will make it more interesting to see and also we will add music to the credits. The song thats been created for the film.

Day 1

We took photos of us while we were filming and what room we used. We had difficulties when using the room, because we started in an english room and then people walked in because they had tutorial so we had to go and find another room so it was really frustrating trying to find another room so we went to our tutor and teacher so he could help up to find a new room. So he found us a room and we started to film but then a teacher walked in because they had a meeting there in 3 minutes so we had to stop shooting and we started to edit and it turned out that we only had 1 full shot.

Editor

Editor. Thats my key role in this project, and i wrote what i have to do to be an editor and how doing my role will help this project and how will it work as a team.
I cant edit the film yet because it hasn't been done yet, but as soon as its done i will start using Photoshop and final cut express.

Shot lists

I still have to fill out the props but there are 2 pages of shot lists and another one coming up.
I relay my shot lists on the story board and made sure that the shot lists matched with the story board.

Our final Story Board. The Haunted.

 I have describe what happens in each shot and also went over the pencil drawings with a black pen because they had to be photocopied. So if it was in pencil it would just rub against another pages and it will keep happening and it will end up being a blank page.

 This is when the conversation starts which is over the should, you can tell by the shadows.

Proposal and treatment

A proposal is an outline of the idea that you are proposing to meet the requirements of the audience.

We wrote pretty much what's exactly going to happen in the story and what kind of shots we're going to use.

next time it would be better if we explained how are we going to do those shots and go into more detail to give the

audience a clearer idea of the film.

Its a rough idea, we will keep on the same track but we will change a few things and do it differently as we go along.

We will all be more confident about what's going on and we will all have a clear idea of what happens in the film.

Hunted Ideas

This was our ideas going towards the film. This is the kind of stuff that people would expect in a horror film but we also a few more stuff such as 'confusion' 'chased' and 'psychological'
To give the audience a clearer idea of our film.
And then we wrote down a few facts/information about what's going to happen or about the main character such as what's his job and what's wrong with him or what's going on in his life 'insomnia'

9 Key Frames

This is a roughly idea of what our shots are going to be, and it also gives you the idea of what kind of shot lists are going to be.
They are NOT in order as its just a rough idea which will be improved as we go along and we get a clear idea of the story.
Most of the shots happen in the forest and you can see how this is related to my mood board.
There will be 1 or maybe 2 shots where the main character is in the office. It would be better if we could do more shots to make the film more developed.

Mood board

This is my mood board for my short film. This is the kind of idea i want the audience to receive from my film.
Dark theme, its obvious that its going to be a Horror or/and Thriller film and psychology is involved, which sounds quite interesting.
Also the pills are for insomnia, and most of the most famous horror films include a little girl involve or a toy such as a clown. To make you feel sorry for the girl or to give you a warning that its going to get creepy.
The forest gives you the idea of being alone in the dark and having no one with you, and 'are you afraid of the dark?' image is a rhetorical question and makes you think about the whole idea of the film, and it also makes you think about what the film is going to be about.
It includes a detective as you can see in the top-middle of the image, thats the job of the main character.
