A series of unfortunate events opening

After researching different openings we came across the opening sequence of a series of unfortunate events, we took inspiration from this opening and from the shots of the murder board which we tried to include in our opening as we needed more close ups of the murder board to make it more like a thriller.

Continuity evaluation

In our continuity exercise we lost an important scene we filmed which left a gap which didn't work very well. overall i am pleased with the way our small filming exercise worked out, In the scene when Ethan was on the phone we tried our best to stick to the 180 degree rule. we included a couple of close ups. When we are did our editing we used jump cuts to show Alex walking down the sheltered walkway in the quickest way possible. we used shot reverse shot when Alex and Ethan were talking to each other.

This is when we were trying to get a close up of Alex dialling the number to ring Ethan.

This is us when were editing out continuity exercise and putting all the clips together in order.

Casting

For our film we thought it would be a good idea top ask girls with different colour hair, we thought it would be a good idea to start with the girls in our media class. They all agreed to be in our film then we had to decide on whos was going to be the haircuting hooded charachter, in my group we decided that i was the mostr sinister looking boy to play him.

Editing 2

We went down the college again for the second time and edited the majority of our film and we have more specific shots we know we need to shoot in time to finish our opening.

Editing

Today we went down the college and started to edit our thriller opening, we found out what we need to refilm and what was missing to make it better, we realised we needed more close up's of the murder board so it looked more of thriller

Filming!!3

Today we went out and filmed at the trian station, this was ollie getting a shot looking in side the trainstation through the window. We had trouble looking at getting the correct shot through the window so we had to take a couple of tests shots but after a while we had an idea of standing back so we see more of the frame so it looks likes hes admiring from a distance.

Filming!!2

Today we finished the filming of the murder board scene, we took a couple extreme close ups of the board and we messed around with the lighting to get the correct so the silhouette stands out.
