Thriller Title

SO.
It seems that our title has been decided, and that my idea lost out!! :( :(

Congrats to Ella for coming up with Stolen Time as this is what we are calling our film.. that is until I think of one that is better than both of them ;)

:)

P.s! : i'm also going to take some photographs whilst myself and Becca are out filming to put on here to show that we are considering continuity! I'm very looking forward to taking her out, and it will be my first chance to play with the camera!!!

Looking at other thriller films, I have found a film called Flightplan about a girl that goes missing on board an aeroplane. When her mother goes to look for her and asks the captain, she only discovers that they have no record of any girl on board. Therefore for all they know, her daughter doesn't exist. This is very similiar to the plot we have created in that Rebecca will go missing and Hannah finds out that her daughter died five years ago...
I have linked a trailer I have found on youtube.
I am currently beginning to look at music for our thriller. I have been looking at music from different thrillers such as flightplan itself, the da vinci code, seven and memento. All these thrillers have effective music but i haven't found one that really stands out to me.
I am also looking at some title sequences and like the idea of having a title followed by a shot in the film. Most films i have looked at use this style so I feel if we used it, it would go that extra mark in looking more professional.
Over the weekend, I am planning on taking my sister, Rebecca out to do some filming so hopefully by monday, all filming will be finished and I can concentrate on getting the music and title sequence sorted.

Wednesday 26th

SO. We have finally got ourselves into gear and we are making good progress!
Today we had only 3 group members, Me, Ella & Dave so we continued to edit and tried to use garage band (we were however not so great at it!) We have put together a basic first sequence. All we are waiting on is the filming of Rebecca that Emily has promised to do by Monday!
The basic sequencing has given us an idea of shots that we are not keen on and there is one scene that we would like to re-film all together, but as it involves my car, which today failed its MOT, that plan is on hold!
We have also today watched the film of another group in our class, which looks AMAZING :) and have decided that we need to make our film slightly more 'thrillerish', as what we thought would work hasn't quite. To do this we are thinking of adding some effects, for example putting the flash back in black and white.
This will be a job for Monday, So watch this space!
:)

what we did today...

We haven't had a very productive day in our lesson today as it was only me and dave here in our group as the others were away. So this obviously means we couldn't go out of school to do any last minute filming that we needed done as hannah wasn't there to drive us! But me and dave went on the website of the art of title sequence to find out some ideas on how our titles can be like in our film, and we found out from the film 'The Company' there was good titles on there showing very gloomy and myserious colours which was represent out film well.

Hopefully in our lesson tomorrow we get most of the editing done and emily can take home a camera and tripod to film the scenes with Rebecca in it, so we can have all the filming finally over and done with.

Tomorrows lesson...

In tomorrows media lesson, we are hoping to have got most of the filming done so we can all concentrate on the editing which we really need to get focused on as we have only done parts of it, and now falling behind from the rest of the class. We need to be looking up on you tube on what sounds we are going to be using as the majority of our thriller opening is muted with no dialogue except from mysterious sound effects in the background, we also need to be adding the transitions so all the shots and scenes can flow nicely.

We will be back to blogging tomorrow to tell you what we managed to get done in the lesson :) x x x

Some more filming...

It was only the three of us in our media lesson on wednesday so me and hannah thought it would be a good idea to go to Ixworth AGAIN and go and get some more filming done. We managed to get the scene where Hannah realises Rebecca had gone missing aqt the park....and where she phones Dave to 'inform' him of this. I managed to film this scene with just a handheld camera so i used my very 'steady' hand! So i think everyone should be proud of me! We thought we would film that scene using handheld camera because it created a kind of mystery, suspense effect so it was occasionally jaunty as if someone was following her....

Whilst we were doing this, Dave was in school carrying on with some editing and looking for some good titles we can add...
