Final Evaluation 14th January

We have gone through the process of planning, creating our storyboard, filming and editing and have come to a final result. We came across few mistakes and those we did come across we found a way in overcoming them. We are pleased with the whole sequence, one example of what we are pleased with is the editing and the way it shows continuity, we are also happy with the music and the way it also helps create suspense. One thing we wish could be better is the storyline, this is something that won't be marked on though and therefore isn't as important as anything else at all. Overall we believe we were at successful, in future, we plan to make sure we will be free alot more together creating more opportunities in bringing up better ideas and taking part in more with eachother.

Editing 16th December

We have finished our filming and are pleased with the final outcome. It shows the continuity methods clearly and does what we planned it to do cleverly. It is similiar to our storyboard with few changes involved, one change we made was to not include so much cross cutting at the beginning, we did plan in the storyboard that we would cross cut from the main characters feet in a walking motion (the tense shot), to a shot that was quiet showing closed doors (the peaceful shot). We chose not to do so many shots showing this as we felt it wasted time and would give us more time to show other things further on in the piece.

We will now edit our finished filming adding transitions, music and using the shots that are best and show continuity most clearly. We will edit using the computer programme: iMovie, this is found on the college computers in the editing suite and is perfect for what we want to do. We will also make the music ourselves in the end which will be done on a college pc programme also called 'Garage Band'. Alex Lloyd will be in charge of this.

Location

We have several locations to choose from, we have decided to use a room in the E-Block which we will use for the dialogue scene, this will be perfect as the room will not be in use, so we will have it for as long as we need it, it was also easy to turn into an interview setting. However, the room does have a whiteboard which will have to be shown in the scene, this is bad for the setting, as it makes the piece less believable. We will also use the Corridors leading to the music area of college, to depict the character walking to the scene. These corridors will be good, as they are some of the least used in the college, so we will be able to film without disturbance. we could use the corridors in Eblock, but due to the lack of natural lighting, we will not achieve the effect we required.
