Locations...

Now that we have our final film plan and have already started filming we have realised that there are lots of different locations we will need to go and film at, one of then being Tara's house which was where we did our first day of filming . We have planned to film at the Millennium Bridge, which being quite far and busy we will need to make sure that we get the filming done perfectly so that we won't need to come back. We decided on using various different locations so that we can include lots of different shot types and have a wide range right from the start of the film. We chose to use the Millennium Bridge after seeing it on an episode of Made In Chelsea (shown in the picture below) and felt that this was exactly what we wanted in our film.

Final Idea...

For our final idea we have decided that at the beginning you will see the back of a hooded man making a ransom letter. Then it will switch to the shot of a professional, glamourous woman returning home from work wearing sophisticated clothing. She will then find the letter but before opening it she will carry with her everyday routine e.g getting wine out of the fridge. When she finally opens the letter she drops the wine and runs and you will see the letter fall slowly and piece of the ransom left behind. You will then see her running across millennium bridge and lady smith football grounds because we think these settings will suit the story line best. While she is running, we thought it would be effective to have flashbacks of her troubled past and towards the end of the run she will have returned to her old, drug-abusing self. 
If this was to turn into a feature length film it would tell the story of what happened to the girl in order for her to be in this situation.

Fridge Vlog...

We had our first day of filming on Friday 22nd which was done at Tara's house, we shot the footage of her walking into the house and opening the fridge scene all of which took a little longer than planned. We decided to do a group vlog to update what we have been doing and since our camera was in the fridge we made it a little different, heres our fridge vlog.

Research and Questionnaire task...

We have recently been asked to make a questionnaire and find out what the public's view is on movies, this is background research which will help us improve our videos and include key aspects which will appeal to our target group. I found the research very helpful because I found out that although some people where of the same age they had very different opinions on what makes a good film in their eyes. I recorded my results so that I have something to refer to when planning our movie and here it is...

First Vlog...

This is my first Vlog, I have never made a vlog before so I was a little nervous but here it is...

Music Idea...

Whilst in our media lesson Tara suddenly came up with a brilliant idea of how to get music into our video. We realised that for our movie it would not look right to have the character listening to music through their earphones and we was struggling to find a way to incorporate the music into the movie so once we heard Tara's idea we all loved it.

Practice Filming...

We have been practicing with our camera so that we get used to how they work. In our video new have put together a couple of different camera shots and we experimented with different things on iMovie. We now have a couple of ideas of the different shots we will be using with our movie and this practice has really helped us a lot. We did realise that we have still got our original sound as well the music on our clip but we will learn from this and make sure we don't make the same mistake for our final movie.
