Welcome moderator! I am Eliza Tracey 1296 and I worked with Tamara Rudd 1258, Harvey Gillett 1225 and Ellen Scott 1259.
I hope you enjoy my blog, which consumes my work on the G321, the titles and openings of a fictional thriller film which I named "10 Years". My preliminary exercise follows immediately underneath. My evaluation questions are above.

FUTHER EDITING
EDITING: WHAT I HAVE LEARNT
I have now nearly finished editing our film opening, "10 years".
I have created a short time-lapse video showing my process of editing.

CONSTRUCTION: FINAL KITCHEN SCENE
CONSTRUCTION: FINAL KITCHEN SCENE
When it came to filming this, and creating the story board, we decided it was key to film in an actual home kitchen, not our sixth form centre one. It was important to underpin a few of Amberleighs characteristics and lifestyle just through the interior of her home. We wanted to show how she was just a normal teenage girl (if you would like to learn more about Amberleigh, I have made a pinterest).
We used extra lighting to create shadows which added an enigmatic feeling, and climax. I took on responsibility of photographer, assistant director and was in charge of making sure the main prop (news scene on laptop) worked well. I also created another GIF underpinning all the photos taken.
I have attached a very short clip below which shows me running out of view after just making sure the laptop was in the appropriate position.
Here is Amberleigh. We had her dressed in PJs which revealed a lot of skin. This is because Amberleigh is eye candy and attractive. It also presents her as vulnerable and innocent.

CONSTRUCTION: PIANO SCENE
CONSTRUCTION: PIANO SCENE
The piano scene is one I believe worked extremely well. As the editor, when it came to editing it on iMovie, it was extremely challenging yet the outcome was better than expected.
The scene and weather was iddlic, the reflection on the piano wasn't something as a group we had even considered, yet helped greatly in underpinning the wealth and class. As a group we took advantage of this, and used Tammy, who is small enough to stand on a chair and film the surrounding through the reflection on the piano.
I created a small Gif using HTML to present my images from filming.
When it came to editing, it was extremely hard to portray a realistic death and after trying so many effects on iMovie we were presented with the idea of taking screenshots and using it as a series of photos. I have clearly displayed this small yet effective part in the opening sequence below.

CONSTRUCTION: OFFICE SCENE
CONSTRUCTION: OFFICE SCENE
In the office scene, I took on role as director. We filmed this quick and basic scene using 3 different shots. We used a panning shot, over the shoulder and first person shot. In a few seconds we incorporated all these shots together to make a realistic and dramatic first scene.
I have made a short video, demonstrating these shots individually to make it clearer.

In this scene, especially the panning shot, I made sure I allowed plenty of space for the title to appear. This worked successfully, as is clear in our official opening sequence.
We used a dark room, with a single spot light to help create climax and tension.
When filming I used a tripod in order to get smooth transitions regarding the panning shot.
CONSTRUCTION: VAN SCENES
CONSTRUCTION: VAN SCENES
Today we completed filming the the van scenes of our film opening, 10 Years. All members of our film opening group congregated at my house, where the van was kept.
Below are some videos I recorded of the process of filming . I uploaded these onto my film openings Instagram also. These videos were also uploaded on my film openings Twitter page creating continuity between the films social media websites, resulting in an 'inter web' of our films related information. This creates a buzz with our film openings followers.
This is a video I filmed during the process, it is perhaps a "behind the scenes", and I also posted this on my twitter feed. Aswell as being a director and part of a filming crew, I am also a viewer and I feel I get particularly excited by small videos uploaded onto social media. They create a buzz as I have already stated.
This video also features the camera man, Harvey and actresses Ellen and Tammy, which helps the audience to relate and understand the characters out of the film.
The van scene was particularly successful I believe, as it was a very unusual setting. Ellen, was in charge of the props, and I believe the big map made the scene even more effective.
