Editing

We started our editing on Thursday but we could only change the speed and colour of the clips as we were waiting for our static clip from youtube to dowload on the macs. The download took up all three periods, so we had to do what we could without the static. Monday afternoon we carried on editing but found more difficulties when we couldnt import the static clip into imovie. By the end of the lesson we managed to get the static into imovie and will continue this Thursday.

Day 1 of recording

Today we planned on recording in the Medical Room at the Northwood Campus but there was an exam in the hall, this meant we were unable to record in our planned location. The Foxley Campus also have a Medical Room that was available for us to record in.

As we only had one costume we had to record all of our lines in one shot, which will later be cut and edited to make it look liked the two characters are having a conversation. We then recored short clips that we want to add in-between the conversation such as: laughing, close up shots of eyes and the characters acting strangely. For my laughing scene we had some difficulties as i couldn't laugh seriously, so we had to leave the camera running for a good 15mins whilst Fran tried to make me laugh.


We tried our best to use different shots so we didn't have the same static shot. Some of the shots were extremely difficult because we wanted to create a shot that looked a security camera. This meant that Fran had to hold the camera really high at an awkward angle and sometimes the shots were shaky. But Overall we had a really good 1st day of filming.

Script for opening interview scene

As stated in previous posts our script will be very minimal because it suits the mysterious theme. Kate and Sarah will seem to be having a conversation together when in actually fact they are being interviewed by a therapist. 



Kate : (Laughing)
Sarah: They deserved it
Kate: Plus it was fun.
Sarah: They weren't people, we made them better. (Smiles)
Kate: They needed to perish.
Sarah: (Laughing)
Sarah: (Laughing)


We will create a static effect on the macs to put before the interview to create video tape look. This is what we will aim to achieve.

Shooting script changes

In my previous post i explained that we would be filming in the dark but after looking at our cameras we discovered that we wouldn't be able to take high quality shots at night so we changed the shooting script to shoot in the day time near dusk. As well as changing the time of shooting from night to day we also decided that it would be best to shoot from a point where the camera was already hidden when the victim and Sarah arrived, this was because when practicing our shots the opening of looking through the window looked messy and low quality.

During Half-Term

Our destination for our 2 minute opening will be at Frans house. We will need to film at night, so to avoid any problems we booked out a camera in half term and did a lighting test. We will be filming outside Frans front door, Living room, Hallway and Kitchen. Out side the front door we would like a dim light so we are able to see the characters faces but a dark surrounding background, we are using the porch light which is on the wall outside. In the living room we want it completely dark with only a green sort of light on Fran's face. The dining room had perfect lighting already fitted.

Casting and Location

Casting 
Kate: Natalie Jennings
Sarah: Francesca Harris
Victim: Max Winnall


These are our three main characters, but we also want too add a few extras that wont have speaking parts but will act as dead people and will be scattered around the the house. They will be previous victims that Kate and Sarah have killed. Leaving them around the house will also give the impression that Kate and Sarah are very open in their killing spree.


Possible extras
Jennifer Love

Jodie Nicholls

Location
Firstly we will film in the Medical Room at the North East Academy, Northwood Campus. We have chosen this location as its easily accessible to our group as this our home Campus. Also we are trying to create the impression that the two main characters are in a mental institute, the nurses room has neutral walls and a bed this will suite our idea as a mental institute as it has to be very basic so the patients cant hurt themselves. Our second setting will be in Frans house for no particular reason but again its easily accessible to all.
