filming continued

We filmed again earlier this evening and have lots of footage to worked with. We focused on the outdoor aspects at this shooting as well as the closeup of a character crying which we carried out using an onion for realistic tears.
As well as this; we have decided that our next filming session will be this following thursday.

filming continued

we are planning to film again tonight, 3:30 til 5:30 pm, we will be focusing more on the 'unknown figure' and completely all of that filming in one session as then we won't have to come back to it, this will stop confusion.
As well as this we have been talkign about changing our film opening idea, sticking to the origional theme but changing aspects.

The filming begins

Today we had our first filming session, i feel asthough it went well however, we have diverted from our origional storyboards slightly. We came across few problems whilst filming as Hannah George and I aren't actors, it was difficult to stay in character. We have planned to film next on this following Monday.

filming

For a few days now, our Hitchcock group, have been discussing the production of our task.
We have decided to meet tomorrow (Thursday 6th) from the times of 3:30 til 5:30 at our chosen location to begin filming. a while ago we had some problems in booking out the cameras, however, today, we made sure that a camera would be avaliable for our use tomorrow for a promt start.

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..
