filming

Due to continuity, we were unable to film on thursday as our location has christmas decorations and this would affect the horror aspect of our opening.
We, as a group have chosen to begin our filing in January as the problem will be eliminated then. We are still on track for our filming to be completed by February.

Pre-production

As a group, Hitchcock have been discussing the times of when we're going to meet up and film. So far we have decided every other thursday evening as it will be dark enough to create the horror feel and this time suits all of the characters.
We have also been thinking of continuity:
-outfits should be the same every filming session
-aspects such as hair and makeup should be kept the same every filming session
-jewellery and nail varnish will be kept the same
The two teenage girl characters will be wearing typical clothes such as hoodies, jeans and ugg boots with makeup and jewellery to show the audience that they're your typical teenagers which help the film viewers to relate.
Our next stage is to recieve a SD card from sir so that all of our footage can be kept in one place safety as possible errors could occur such as:
-using a different camera
-over filming the footage
-another group accidentally deleting footage

Film opening; 'Mimic'

For my first opening; I watched the credits for the film "Mimic".
I took notes on what the opening credits consisted of.
Starts with video footage and images,
The camera shots are quick, and jumpy in motion,
The company is the first credit to be names; Dimension films,
Actors names flash on the screen quite fast in speed,
Images of insects appear,
The quickness of the shots provide confusion and anticipation to the audience,
Angled, white writing,
Flickering screen on some shots,
People who helped in the production phases names are shown towards the end as these would probably be considered as less important to people such as directors..
