new idea

Posted by Charlie Aldridge on 20:38:00 comments (2)

After consulting with my fellow team mates and also our teacher we agreed that we needed to change our idea and also re shoot as our filming was too dark. We came up with a new shot list and filmed later that day. We obtained some good footage but were unable to complete the shoot as one of our actors had to get to work and i also had a prior engagement. We plan to shoot again early this week. We also agreed that we may need a new music track to reinforce the video we use.

our new idea for our thriller

Our new idea for our shoot is to, instead of opening with the antagonist in the other characters house, the antagonist is trying to break into the car of the home owner. He is then stopped by the home owners who is coming out of his house to shout at the antagonist to stop trying to break into his car. The chase then begins and the characters chase into the alley where they continue down to the bottom were the villain attacks the character and the scene ends.

We filmed for our thriller opening down the alley in Chalfont St.. peter, near the leisure centre. Me and mairead were there to film, steven was unable to make the film shoot, and my friends Lewis Brown and James Hall had agreed to act for us. We decided to film at half 5 at night as we thought that it wouldn't be too dark. The idea was to film at a time where the the actors were still visible, but we got our times wrong and it was too dark so it was difficult to see the people in the scene. So to overcome the problem we decided to reshoot and have the 2 actors holding torches which will illuminate the alley way more and also highlight the front runner more. After editing we also decided we needed a lot more footage as what we had was way too short. We have some good shots and angles were i had climbed up into a tree to give the look of a crane shot and some where we had hid in the foliage. This shoot gave us an idea of what we have to do to create a 2 minute film at this pace, it was partly unsuccessful but partly successful as we gained both positive and negative points from it.
