Editing Update #3

After adding the music we felt it needed something else so with the help from Mr Corby we recorded Mo breathing heavily through a sound recorder.

We also recorded foley sounds for the bangs at the end of our opening

Editing Update #2

After getting all the footage right I added on the music which I found from a un-copyrighted music site. This music helps with the atmosphere as it is quite eerie and builds up the suspense.

Editing Update

We have got all our filming footage where we want it and added on the titles and added our production logo. Next step is to add on the music.

We added a flash to show that Chaz is going into the flashback.

Production Logo

We decided to have a simple production logo with our initials DLM, Dawn made up our logo ideas on photoshop.

Filming Day 2

On filming day 2 we filmed the flashback scenes in Market Rasen market place, we didn't manage to get some pictures of us actually filming but I have cut some pictures out  of our footage to show what we did.

Filming Day 1

On our first day of filming we did the negotiation room scene.

 
This picture shows Mo filming the close up of Fade (Chaz) this is the first scene in our opening.








This picture is of Mo filming the shot reverse shot between Chaz and Lakeem. In the bottom left corner, just out of the picture is where we placed the light source to have shadows at funny angles on the walls.

Locations

When we were on our way to the park, we had a brainwave for a better location, so there was a quick turn around and we did our flashback scenes at the market place in Market Rasen

Risk Assessment

We carried out a risk assessment to ensure that everybody would be safe on the day of filming.

BBFC

Who are the BBFC?

The BBFC is an independent, non-governmental body funded through the fees it charges to those who submit films and video works for classification. Here, and throughout the Guidelines, video works are taken to include video games, and films and programmes released on DVD or Blu-ray, or distributed by means of download or streaming on the internet. The BBFC classifies films on behalf of the local authorities who license cinemas under the Licensing Act 2003.

There are certain overarching factors that may influence a classification decision at any level and in connection with any issue. The BBFC take into consideration: Context, Tone and impact, Release format.

The BBFC take into consideration certain main issues when classifying a film, these issues include: Discrimination, Drugs, Horror, Language, Imitable behaviour, Nudity, Theme, Sex, and Violence.

The BBFC classify films from U to 18.

Our Film Opening

In our film opening we have a few of these main issues:

After taking all this into consideration we have decided to rate our film a 15. There is no content that may be very offensive for some viewers, however some content may be disturbing for a younger audience. Some of the behaviour may be imitable so we decided to rate 15 so the audience will be mature.

Locations update

Originally we were shooting our flashback scenes at Lincoln but we found it difficult to organise all our cast to be able to get there at the same time and being able to pay for the tickets. We have now decided to do the flashback scenes at a park in Market Rasen.

Planning: 8 key questions

Planning: 8 key questions
1.) Is it practical?
Our film opening is going to be fairly practical to do. It is based in two locations, one location is at school so easy to do, and the other is in Lincoln where we have arranged to all meet up on Sunday.

2.) Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group?
I think we can all work together well with this idea, we have all got different roles to add to the film opening.

3.) Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course?
I think our opening will show that we have learnt because we are using a range of shot types and from our preliminary task we learnt to do a shot/ reverse shot and we are using a couple in our opening.

4.) Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time available?
I think it will be fairly easy to get it filmed and edited in the time, if we start to run out of time we will come in at lunches and after school to get it done.

5.) Can you get access/ permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times?
For when we are in Lincoln, we are using a public place so there should be no issue for when we are filming and for when we are at school, we have permission to film.

6.) Can you organise lighting to use in that location?
For the scene at Lincoln, we are doing it in the day time so we are using natural lighting and won't need any artificial lighting. For the dark room scene we are going to use a phone spot light and torches for the appropriate lighting. 

7.) Have you included dialogue? If so, will it work to shoot conversation in that location
There is only dialogue in our opening in the flash back scenes, and even then there isn't a lot.

8.) Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters?
Our actors are committed in helping us and they are reliable people. They look the part for our characters.

Shot List

Shot list. from LillieCram

We made a shot list to make sure that when we went out filming we would know exactly what we needed to film. This saves us time and so we wouldn't panic when we went to film.

Shooting Schedule

The shooting schedule helps us keep organised and on track, it help us all agree on a time and place when we are all free to film.
