the media synoptic day!

As i was not in today hopefully tomorrow during the media synoptic day I will cath up with my group and see what they did. As well as this i persoanlly think that we need to actually go through our storyboard again to make sure that no one is confused about what is happening in shoot because i feel that after monday's filming members of the group were abit lost as to what was going on. Therefor we need to go over our plans so that we get as much done during the next few days.

16th March

Week beginning March the 16th we started to shoot, we noticed that as we are filming outside teher may be some issues with the weather, and as the main actors have different timings to each other we will have to work after school and in our free time to film. We also developed our preliminary task as it was not completed,through shooting itthe second time we notcied that we need to carefully look at the mise en scene as the shot composition is important and we need the frame to be filled without empty spaces left. We used Amina in year 13 as our main girl, and we shot some scenes with her, we also gathered that for the male role we will need some more attention as Gaz isn't avaliable at the times Amina is. We have begun discusing the name for our thriller and have also gained ideas of the title sequence. So far we are up to date with everything and filming is going well. Weare planning on editing along this week,hopefully everything is fine.

Monday's filmimg

During Monday's media lessons as a group we will go over the storyboard and confirm which shots we will film and hopefully get at least one or two done during the lesson if not then we will think about credits or editing and possibly come up with a schedule as to when we as group or individually go and edit footage that we film. Then after lunch as a group and along with our main character in our opening we will film at least six shots in the locations we have picked which we hope goes well!

in response to my groups posting!

In response to both Balpreet's and Annie's post so far we are on target and in terms of music below are too suggestions of the music we want to use but we will continue researching.






As for the name for our thriller it will be decided as group hopefully we may come up with one during filming but some suggestions so far are : " The Game" which seems typical but we want the title to be quite short and it will be able to reflect on the main characters personality so for example her feeling like she is ' misunderstood.'
After filming next week we will hopefully as group upload footage the and edit it so that we are on target and make sure that we can see weather or not we may have redo certain shots again. Furthermore we will also thinking about our credit titles and the use of font that we want to use for it.
I am not going be in on Tuesday therefore Annie and Balpreet will be working with out me to try and get as much filming done of the scenes that we don't end up doing on Monday.

New member

My teacher decided to change my group as there were some problems in the previous group. All my planning is with them as we are quite far in the project, to check my work you can see; unforgetableproductions.blogspot.com. However I have adapted well to this group, we are working well with time and by the beginning of next week we are planning on shooting. Near the end of next week we are hoping to have finished our shooting so it gives us enough time for editing to take place. We also have begun looking at the music for our thriller, however this still needs some researching. We also need to be thinking of a name for the thriller, as a group we have accepted to make this decision later on the project after the filming is done.

A change in story

We as a group have made a few changes to the outline of our opening sequence to the thriller. Due to problems involving groups, Annie has become a member of our group and Jeray has left. In today's lesson Annie came up with a few ideas that have helped develop our opening sequence. As a group we whent off to the different locations in which we hope to film at during monday's media lesons and in our free time. Furthermore during our own time as a group we have been searching for music which we can hopefully use at the beigning of the opeining of our thriller. This is was quite sucessful as both Fadila and Annie have two diffrent types in which we hope to use for the first five minutes to our opening sequence.

After meeting with the group.

Today during our free we decided to meet up and go through finalising ideas for the storyboard of our opening sequecne . This whent well as everyone was present and we managed to finish off the shots that needed to be completed. We have now
devide out who will draw out each shot and who will write out the dialouge which will be done by next lesson.Although it has come to my attention that our thriller has to be at least 2-5 minutes long but once we start filming our opening sequence the six shots we have created once edited together will only last at least a minute or maybe less, therefor as a group we may have to meet up again or during lesson time to have think about creating at least 3- 4 more shots so our thriller is not short..
