GRRRRRRR!

so we looked through all of the shots we had done and each section looked really good, but when we tried to edit it all together we realised that the man scene after the flash backs would have to be refilmed. This was due to the fact that there was no possible way to edit this section together as we hadnt filmed it properly and some of the shots didnt match. this was really annoying as we had spent a long time filming this section and to be told we had to do it all over again was a little disapointing.
So we are going out film this week and hopefully we will get it finished.

our second day of filming

we did accomplish quite a lot for our second day of filming and we managed to film the whole of the flashbacks section of the film opening.

we went to the woodland nature reserve 'magpie bottom' and did loads of different shots of me walking through the trees and across the fields and along the hills. we took about 2 hours to film all the shots we needed and we had to walk through the whole reserve to get to the field at the end and film the section before i wake up.

filming was quite difficult as it was early in the morning and the ground was wet from the rain and i kept slipping over! we did have to use a lot of film as i kept slipping over and falling randomly!

we got back from filming and put everything away and me and abbie managed to watch the clips and edit them toghether and finish editing the section that we filmed.

Title fonts!

we have been experimenting with the fonts for our film titles and the way that it will be displayed we will ask our target audience on which they prefere and what

BRANWAVE!!!

Today we finaly had that lightbulb moment! we have a title for the film, charley (the director and script writer in our group) wakes up every night at 4am and shes not sure why. she was telling me and then we both turned around and thought that '4am' would be a perfect title for a phycological thriller.

now thanks to the brainwave about the title we now have a story line for the film.

A girl has been captured and taken by a crazy mentaly unstable man and kept in a cell like room and every morning at 4am (this is the title!!) the man will come and torture her. the torturing sessions will gradually get worse until one day the girl finaly has had enough and try's to escape... she leaves him for dead and manages to escape but she is so messed up that she ends up going to find somebody else that she can do the same thing to. she goes back to the house close's the door and the film ends with a horrfic screaming session, and a blood spattering on the window (cliffhanger which leaves the audience to think)

Picture of our first filming session.

we began filming our thriller today and we managed to sdet everything up that we needed, which was placing the photographs that where taken of me up on the wall and, write things all over them. we also had to clear the furniture out of the room, there where 2 chairs and a table.

story board ...

?Ideas for the film?...

The initial idea would be to to start the film with:
-Narration (the main character speaking)
-close up shots of the main character waking up as she narrates
-the camera would zoom in to the charaters face and the eyes would open abruptly
-the main character would sit up and scream
-the camera would cut into various flash backs of the characters past giving the audience an idea of what the character has been through and where she is.
-the camera would cut back and fourth through her flashbacks and the shots of her awake and affraid, this will hopefully leave the audience with a lot of enigma codes.
-the narration would be ongoing through the whole 2 minute opening section.

I would have a second idea for the an alternate opening for the film but me and my group are really set on the ideas above and have been for quite a while!
