22/02/12 FILMING FLASHBACK-Cafe

This lesson we travelled to Esher highstreet, in order to film at our chosen location, 'Costa Coffee'. We filmed one of our several flashback moments here. The suicidal boy is on a date with the girl we see mysteriously in hospital.

After filming here we looked for other locations to film such as a graveyard, shops etc. We thought the graveyard could be a possibility as graveyards are associated with death and would be perfect in enhancing the depressed and mysterious mood of our film. In order to compare possible locations we took a photo using a mobile phone so that we can compare the setting of the Graveyard in Esher to other destinations that we visit.

RISK ASSESMENT

This lesson we created a risk assesment sheet. In doing this out group are able to asses and overcome risks of our various film locations. By following this, our group is able to be safer considering some of our scenes are quite hazardous for example a tall builing, water etc.

Social networking and video distribution

In today's lesson, we created a Facebook page for our thriller- Faded.

We can make use of this page to get the audience's attention and get feedback, so as to improve our thriller. Also we created an Youtube account so we can upload our footages and experimental videos to get feedbacks through comments and likes.

 

Other than that, we went on to www.dafont.com and looked at different fonts we can make use of for the title sequence.
