Review of this week

This week, we had planned to focus all of our lessons on editing our video. About half way through the editing, I raised some concerns with my group regarding the "wow-factor" of our opening sequence because, in my opinion, it wasn't looking as tense and exciting as I had originally hoped it would be. In light of this, we booked the drama studios on Tuesday, to use at Thursday Lunchtime. Unfortunately though, the studio was being used for something else, so we instead decided to film the new scenes on a staircase nearby.
It was my idea to add some flash-back scenes to our opening sequence, in order to give the final piece more depth. With the addition of flash-backs, the viewer is able to get a much better idea of what the events of the film are caused by, as well as giving the piece a much more dramatic and tense effect.
(Thank you to Sam H. for being our victim - and for making his second cameo appearance in a Team Timing media film)
So now it is Friday, our deadline day, and we are just piecing together the final pieces of our film, and editing all the clips so that they flow perfectly and make our final project look professional and dramatic!

Review of this week

Tuesday 4th February

Today we spent the lesson in an empty corridor and an empty office/conference room, where we re filmed the in-school sections of our opening sequence. We did this because the first time we filmed, the characters were not fully briefed or wearing the correct costumes. We also only had one guard this time around, to make the opening sequence seem more lonely.

Wednesday 5th February

In today's lesson we started to upload all of the clips that we had got so far onto the Apple Macs and we began to edit them together. After school, Dom, Lester and I went over to the apex, where we were able to get all of the apex filming done, as the rainhad temporarily seased.

Thursday 6th February

In today's lesson we focussed solely on getting the editing of our clips done, ready for a review on our work so far, which will happen in tomorrow's lesson.

Friday 7th February

Today, we had our opening scene reviewed. below are a list of targets that I think we need to meet in order for our opening sequence to improve, these targets are a mix of both teacher comments and our own findings from a video about opening titles:

• Speed up the middle section of the sequence, as it currently runs too slowly.
• Pay more attention in making the middle and ending of the sequence as eerie and suspensful as the beginning.
• Film the remaining sections of the film.
• Make sure the titles reflect the genre (phsycological thriller).

29/01/14

On Friday, we went to Apex park to film some of our opening sequence, but the park was severely waterlogged so we were unable to film anything. Therefore we have been forced to change our apex filming date to this friday afternoon instead, and we will film at my house at some point next week.

In todays lesson we filmed some scenes in school, where Lester is marched though a corridor by 2 men (Sam and Chris). We were able to film a variety of shots and we will pick the best ones to put into the film at the editing stage.
