As a group we agreed that it would be okay for me to fim a few scenes during period 4 as all three of our actors were free and the deadline is Friday. So we decided that I would redo a few scenes and do some extra ones . I would also film some of them with Balpreet during period 5. However luckily and surprisingly I found that I was all right for time and ended up doing most of the filming. Therefore I decided that we did not need to film during period 5 however once the rest of the group has looked over all the footage that I filmed today I will make sure that everything looks good to them and if they disagree then they we can re-film it. I managed to re-do the bathroom scene and diary scene again and checked that the continuity of the shots looked good as previously when it came to editing we found that it was a major problem.
Tommorow we will hopefully then edit all the filming done today and sort out any errors that need to be fixed.

Specification
Evidence of excellence in the creative use of most of the following technical skills:
• holding a shot steady, where appropriate
• framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate
• using a variety of shot distances as appropriate
• shooting material appropriate to the task set
• selecting mise-en-scène including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting
• editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer
• using varied shot transitions and other effects selectively and appropriately for the task set
• using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set
• using titles appropriately.
As a group we have tried to cover the specifcation to the best of our abilities, we have tried to have a range of shots, with different angles. The editing we have done so far is quite relevant, and we have used black and white effects in our opening to show the difference between time. We have also edited the music so that it fits in with the images.

Over view
As a group we have been making decisions however they haven'tbeen going to plan, yesterday me and Fadila were meant to film but this didn't happen due to some misunderstandings, similalry today when Balpreet and Fadila were meant to film, there was some confusion therefore Fadila filmed on her own. Me and Balpreet have been doing the editing and the music whereas Fadila has been filming, we thought providing each otehr with certain roles would be better than all of us doing everything as it would be less time consuming and the end result would be better. As a group there have been some conflict as not everyone has been communicating well enough and a member is making decisions without discussing it with the other group members. Although things are going well it could be better if we discussed properly rather than get all the filming done in one go. The music was created by my brother through the software FL Studio, with the deadline just few days away me and Balpreet decided to loop the music so that there wasn't a beat to it as we were advised not to use a music peice with a beat. As pressure is getting to us we all are disagreeing on certain bits as some don't agree with others however we just have to try and do the best we can until our deadline.
filming
Today me and Fadila were both meant to film some of the scenes so that the filming was finsihed and then we as a group would just have to do editing, and music. However this did not go to plan, as Fadila had done the filming during period 4.
During period 5 today i was editing music as there were some editing errors.

Music
Annie and I have put together the music during our free lesson on Monday periods 2 and 3. Annie had brought in some music samples that her brother had put together, so me and Annie have chosen to use two of them. during periods 2 and 3 on Monday we have edited the music so it would link with the camera shots and editing of each of the shots.

Overview of today!
Today unfortunately our main actress did not turn up for filming during period one and two meaning we didn't get much done. However we did though manage to re-film the corridor scene of Amina which was successful we filmed her at three different shots a mid-shot a long shot and a close up. However once we uploaded it on the computer we noticed that it was bit grainy we have decided to leave it for now and if we have time we will re-do it but at the moment we are just focusing on finishing all the scenes which we haven't filmed yet. We also filmed the shots of Joe and Amina together when Annie looks out the window at them even though Annie was not present we managed to do a really nice close up of them together.
We still have plenty to do we spent Period three editing all that we filmed in the morning and its coming along well we hope to have all the filming done by Tuesday but if worst comes to worse we will film anything that needs to be done on Wednesday.
As for the music Annie has taken on the role in coming upwith music. We did have music however we had problems with the beats that was in it as it did not seem to create a thriller effect .However Annie is sorting it so that we can hopefully add it to our thriller by next lesson.
Also during the lesson we sorted out filming days and what we have left to film so that we each have a turn filming things together or as a group. Making it easier for each other and quicker so that we don't to keep re-doing things again because of certain things that are wrong with it for example the framing of the shot or the lighting.

Last week and so..
Here is a plan of what we hope to do tomorrow and next week:
Friday Period 1&2 - Filming with Amina Annie and Joe:
Re-do : the scene where Annie is writing in her diary
-the bathroom scene where Amina will come up behind Annie but when Annie looks up Amina has disappeared.
- To film all scenes that involve all three actors.
Friday Period 4 - import all the footage that we filmed and edit it
- Take a pictures of Amina with Joe and Annie with Joe for the scene where Annie will cut Amina's face out and replace it with her own
Monday period 1& 2 - Edit any footage that is still yet to be (try add in transitions)
insert the music and film the title credits. If any of our actors are free but mainly Annie as she is the main character that we need. We will then during lunch or maybe during period 3 &4 when Balpreet and Annie are free they will film any scenes which still need to be filmed. Meaning that:
Tuesday period 5 : Me and Balpreet will import what they last few scenes and watch over top check if there is anything that may need to be redone in case at the last minute.
Wednesday period 3: Edit the shots that were imported as a group and make sure that each scene is in the correct order.
Friday period 4 and after lunch: Final Deadline!!! We will all be doing last minute touch ups to make sure everything is in order and well edited if there is a problem then we will be able to check and discuss ways in which we could make things that we have edited look better.
