Mac 5's first draft of 2 minute film opening

Here is Mac 5'st first draft of our 2 minute film opening. We still have a lot of work to do including re shooting some scenes, adding the title sequence in and changing some of the sound.

My vlog on Mac 5's last day of filming

My group and I have finally finished filming for our 2 minute film opening. We are now waiting for the footage to upload onto the mac so we can edit the scene we have just filmed. We used Tara's camera and the schools underwater camera to film. We filmed in the school six form toilets and after an hour of filming and 38 shots we finally have the perfect shots to use.

Final filming day (hopefully)

Today Mac 5 filmed the bathroom scene in the school six form toilets. After what we thought would be a half an hour filming we ended up filming for over an hour to get the perfect shots.  This sadly though meant Hannah Connolly had to repeatedly splash water in her face and dry her face.

While filming we put up a 'Filming in Progress' sign so people wouldn't enter the toilets.










Here are some pictures from the day...

 

In this picture we were discussing whether we liked the previous shot, which was Hannah Connolly splashing water in her face, or whether we should re shoot it. We decided to re shoot to be on the safe side but sadly this meant that had to splash water in her face again.

Here is a picture of Tara filming Hannah Connolly.

 Here is a picture of Hannah Connolly and Rhianne laughing after the filming went wrong.

In this picture Hannah is looking down to the floor in sorrow.

In this picture we were discussing how to shoot the next shot.

Semi mac 5 vlog on music

At the moment my group and I are deciding on the background music for our film opening. We have also decided to use either Beatrice or Janel for the Voiceover and are finalising the script for them to say.

Semi mac 5 vlog on underwater camera and voiceover

Here is our semi mac 5 group vlog on the underwater camera and our voiceover ideas. We have wrote a rough copy of the voiceover script and so we are just adding some more dialogue to fit in with the acting.

underwater camera

My group and I have one last scene to film for our film opening. It consists of Hannah Connolly standing in front of a mirror, in a bathroom. We are thinking about using an underwater camera to film Hannah washing her face. 









Here is an example of what we mean from 'We need to talk about kevin'-

Editing day 2

Today my group and I carried on editing our 2 minute film opening. We changed the order of some of the clips around to make the film flow more. We have also decided to blur the dialogue out and put a voiceover over the top. Here is our vlog on todays work.

Below is mine, Rhianne and Tara's vlog on editing. We have found editing to be a very slow process but we have hopefully almost finished editing one of our scenes. We will continue editing tomorrow where Tayla will be able to join us.

Blurred Vision

In our film opening my group and I want a blurred effect when the psychiatrist is on screen to show she is confused. We practised the blurred effect with me playing the psychiatrist (Hannah Connolly plays the psychiatrist in the actual film opening.) We filmed outside the media room. Below is our video.

My groups Film Production name

My group and I have decided on a name for our Film Production. We have decided to call it wildfire and for the opening sequence we are thinking of having the name written on a piece of paper and then either having it burnt with a lighter or put in a fire. We are not certain if this is how we are going to show the name because, although we like the idea, we're not sure if it looks too sinister for our film opening as we are making a psychological film opening, not a horror film opening.

Gogglebox

Here is my Groups Gogglebox. We had to watch a Doctor who clip and then talk about how sexism is shown in the clip. It was really fun filming but editing was very stressful and hard but it helped me get used to editing for when my group and I edit our actual 2 minute film opening.

Review on the Woman in Black 2

Yesterday I went and saw the woman in black 2 at the cinema. Apart from the gripping story line and the amazing acting I saw, when I wasn't hiding under my jumper in sheer terror, the film for me was brilliant in many other ways too. The camera angles used throughout the film were very inventive and they gave me great ideas on different shots my group could use for our 2 minute film opening. The music used in the film was also brilliant especially in the lead up to dramatic moments. Although my group aren't doing horror for our opening two minutes of a film I still thought the film was very helpful as it gave me many different ideas on how we could make our film opening.

Mac 5 have nearly finished filming

Today my group and I, including Hannah Connolly, were kindly given permission by Taras mum to film in her surgery for one of our scenes. The filming was a great success and we have hopefully finished filming another scene for our film opening. We now have one more scene to film and then tons of editing to be getting on with before we have a finished film opening. Here are a few pictures from Today.

Mac 5 have finished filming a scene

On Wednesday my group and I, along with Hannah Connolly, went to Enfield town to finish filming one of our scenes for our film opening. After many, many takes we finally have, what we hope, a finished, realistic scene. Here are some pictures from Monday and Wednesday.

Vlog on first day of filming

Sorry it took me a long time to upload but this is Mac 5's vlog on our first day of filming. We filmed the lights flickering and me scratching my hands which we have decided to film again.
