Grove Park (Thriller Film)

Day 4 = Bedroom scene at lippi's house

The next lesson we went to lippi's house to film the second scene. this was the scene of the bedroom when the possesed girl woke up the next day. we also did the scene of the screne titles by using props like knives and possesed books. This scene worked very well as it was well organised and well timed. we used a lot of natural lighting for the scene. and we used fake blood.
The next lesson i was off sick but we will reschedule the next filming for sometime in the half term as the next lesson with Dan is not on due to friday being aq teacher's training day.

Day 2 = Filming our first clip scene in the library

Today's lesson with dan we began filming our thriller. we decided to gather some props for the scene, thriller possesed books and went into the library to beging filming. We had loads of different types of shots and did really well that friday. This scene was of the main character in the library. it was filmed in the afternoon and we used natural lighting. before the end of the lesson we went back to the classroom and planned our next scene: we discussed all the props that we needed for the next filming session with mary. However the next lesson was cancelled so we missed a lesson of filming as the college was closed due to bad weather conditions.

We managed to catch up once the college was re-opened. That lesson we logged and captured all our filming and made sure to save it on our hard drive. We did not start the editing as we had much filming left to do.

During this session, we worked mainly on the Mac’s and worked on which shots to do next. This also gave us a chance to see which shots we may need to re do, or any we may have missed out.

Day 1 = Recording our news speech

Today In Mary's lesson, we prepared and gave Mickey our 'breaking news' speech to record. Whilst this was being processed, our group planned our storyboard and production schedule. After we finished planning our story body the end of the lesson was over. And left mickey to record our speech onto a cd.

Day1 - Recording Our News Reporter Speech

In Mary's lesson, we prepared and gave Mickey our 'breaking news' speech to record. We told him the narrative of the story in advance, so he could think about the pace and accent of his voice. In the film, this recording will be played during Susan's nightmares of killing a girl. We planned to receive this next lesson on CD. Whilst this was being processed, our group planned our storyboard and production schedule. This helped no time being waste in the making of out thriller.

Pitching Our Thriller

In Dan's lesson me and my group brainstormed ideas on our thriller. We came up of a script about a possessed girl that finds out she is the killer of Susan's death.
As a group, we pitched our ideas to our teachers, as you would to a film producer. They thought it was successful which meant we could begin our thorough plan. My group and I discussed that in next lesson we will ask Dan or Mickey to be our news reporter. Their role is to voice record the 'breaking news' speech we prepared in class.

Editing Our Match Cut

In Mary's lesson, we continued and finished editing our match cut clip which is shown on the other post. The mise en scene of the diegetic sound showed the theme of the clip is more of a 'gangsta' thriller based on the count of beats. The narrative also help create this as the meeting between the two are serious and very private. Although comparing to our previous film making, I prefer the other one. This reason is because, i believe the overall use of edit wasn't enough and could have been better. However all experiences count.
