Finished Thriller

Today the music was added onto our thriller. We had some problems because at the moment our thriller was about three minutes long and its only supposed to be 2 minutes long. So Houda completed the editing down to just over 2 minutes.

Houda and Alma found two sets of music from a different website called freeplaymusic.com. This website had many different uncopywrited music. The seqence isn't scary from the begging there are some happy scenes, so us having scary music all the way through would make the sequence contrapuntal it would be weird. Then they found a second song to put near the end of the sequence to help show the anger of the twin sister. They joined the two different sounds making a sound bridge.

Moby Gratis music

Monday 23rd April.
The Moby Gratis music which Houda downloaded still hasn't arrived. It said it would take about 5 working days but it has been over 2 weeks and still haven't recieved nothing.

Finished Filming

On Tuesday 28th April, Houda Vernege-Fanus and Ardit Paskij added the scene we recorded on Monday 27th April at Alma's house. Which meant that the thriller film was nearly finished although the Moby Gratis music still hasn't arrived. This is all due in on the 1st May.

More Editing

Monday 27th April, Houda continued to edit the thriller. She was putting in transactions between each scene to make the thriller look more proffessional but she was a bit concerned that the thriller would over run.

While Houda was editing, me (Eustacia Gaston-Monerville), Alma Futu and Ardit (the actors and also group members) went to Alma's house to film the missing scene for our thriller.

Editing

Thursday 23rd April me(Eustacia Gaston-Monerville) one of the group members Houda Vernege-Fanus started editing what we had so far. It was quite simple because we had practise with the prelimenary exercise. We had different variety of shots. There was also some parts we had to cut down because it was too long.

More Filming

On the 21st me and my group did more filming. We went to romford liberty and then to Alma Futu's house to film the last parts.

We filming at Alma's house one of the group members wanted to look over the filming we had done, but when they had finished they didn't stop it at the right part so one of the bits that got filmed got recorded over. We had to re-film that part another day.

Filming

On 20th April during our media lesson. We filmed in all the same locations which were:

  • Outside by the flats
  • In the school canteen
  • Near the school lockers

We finished the first half of the filming all within that lesson.

Thriller Name

Friday 27th we decided the name of our thriller is.......







Problems with Filming

On the 3rd of April we broke up for easter. The plan was for us to take the camera out during half term for us to film the rest of the scenes. Unfortunately one of the group members didn't take out the camera, so it wasn't possible for us to do the filming during the holiday.

On the 20th of April we got back to school and were intending to carry on with filming, but there was a problem, the group member that was acting in the film had changed their hairstyle and we had alreally filmed that member with another hair style before half term. The teacher had warned us about being continuous. Us filming the person with a different hair style would make the film look odd and because of the new hair style this meant we had to re-film everything again.

Continued Filming

On Friday the 3 rd April we carried on filming. The next scenes we filmed was at Alma's house.

Filming and Problems

On Saturday the 28th March. Me and my group decided to do some filming in Romford. We filmed Alma as the sneeky twin sister going out with her sisters boyfriend but her twin(the girlfriend)sees her boyfreind(Ardit)with her sister as they are walking through the mall from the cafe. The boyfreind(Ardit) doesn't know that he is dating her twin sister.

This was not the original plan. The plan was for the sneeky twin sister to meet ardit(the boyfriend) at the cinema. We got told that we couldn't film there because we needed to get permision from the owner of the premises first.

We changed our location of filming to the liberty in Romford. We were approched by a member of staff at the liberty who then contacted the manager for us to ask permission to use the premises. The manager agreed as long as we didn't get the logos for the stores in our film.

Camera Shots used:
  • Long Shot
  • Point of view
  • Pan shot
  • Mid shot
