TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

So we have been editing for a few weeks now and we have pretty much finished, jess managed to help us with the effects that we wanted for the small room section and i have to say it looks AMAZING! Miss Street really likes it and now all we have to think about is the music. Charley said that we should leave that to her and she could find something really good for us to use.

Miss Street then watched the whole film and said that it was really good but asked what would happen to the girl (me) in the rest of the film, we said that she would die and there would be another victim, Miss Street said that we should actually film some more and introduce the new victim to the audience. We thought this was a good but risky idea, we have 1 week left and with some editing left to do we would have to go and film there and then.

PROBLEM! we wanted to use a brunette as this would be a perfect showcase of a typical thriller convention. As my character was blonde and had been killed, this would mean that the brunette girl will survive, this is very common in thriller films (the blonde pretty one dies, and the tough gutsy brunette survives) We now needed a brunette girl to act for us, Abbie refused and said that she didn't want to as she couldn't act! so we where stuck we wanted charley and the brunette girl to be talking and having a little pic-nic exactly where we had filmed the flash backs of my character being abducted!

I knew that our friend Becky wasn't in a lesson so i text her to see of she could come down and watch what we had done so far with the film. Whist she was on her way down we put her name into the opening titles, she watched the film and noticed that her name was in there! We then asked her if she wouldn't mind being in the film for us and that we needed to go and film it now! SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!

We went down to 'Magpie bottom' armed with a tripod, camera, tape and a pic-nic blanket! I was behind the camera, as Abbie was editing back in the main building, we quickly figured out what Becky and Charley were going to say to introduce Becky as the new victim. I filmed them having the conversation from a range of angles, i even did a establishing shot and a zoom!

In the conversation between Becky and Charley the audience learn that Becky is thinking of moving to the country (where they are sat) and she will quit her job as she is sick of the 'city boys' and Charley agrees and says that the 'country boys' really aren't that bad either!

I was really happy that we had managed to film the whole lot within the space of half an hour, we went back up to Abbie, and she had managed to find a 'door slam' sound effect to use during the small room section. It looked really good and the sound effect fitted really well with the rest of the clip! We managed to capture all the footage we had shot and add in the two clips we wanted to use for the film! I think we might actually make it for the deadline, thank god!!!

Miss Street was right the extra footage really makes it seem like a film opening and its good for us as we are introducing a new character for the audience. This also adds loads of new enigma codes for the audience to wonder about!
