EDITING: FIRST TIME

Today, I took responsibility for editing and uploading our scenes for the first time. I am familiar with iMovie, so just started by placing all the footage in appropriate order.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES : FILMING

FLIPAGRAM

Today we filmed a very important scene based on the killing of the mother. I took responsibility of director and photographer. Filming went really well and as a group we were very pleased with the results.

To display the pictures, I have used a new tool called Flipagram. Its a slideshow of the pictures I took, and includes a picture of me filming.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES & FILMING NEWS SCENE: MOLDIV

MOLDIV & FILMING NEWS SCENE




Today we filmed an extremely important scene in which I took control of the script, photographing, setting up the props and assistant director. 







To make the scene realistic we used police tape and had the forensics specialists in proper uniform. This created a narrative for the crime, as it was clear it involved a murder. 
 We also found a great location which looked like a rustic house where a murder had just taken place. We used a middle-aged, smartly dressed and upper class women to present the news, as this again created a realistic sense.




This is a clearer picture of the forensic actresses costume.

Also for distribution, we uploaded a picture of the two forensic actresses on our Instagram page. This again released a clue to the anticipating audience, and reminded them of our film. This Instagram post was particually effective, and through the '#filming' we were able to get a few more interested followers. Instagram is a recently new app involving hashtags (also used by Twitter) that distributors can use on the 'notes page' when feeding information on the Instagram feeds. Using hashtags will niche the audiences findings making the search for my film more accurate - only pictures, promotional post and advertisements will be found under the official hashtag or fan made hashtags . Hashtags can also apply to actors, directors or anyone associated with the film  - this makes it easier for my target audience to reach information relating to the film. 

As well as filming, I have found a new technology called Moldiv which helps me display my pictures in a clear and efficient way. 

In this collage of pictures, I have presented a few 'behind the scenes' pictures (the director of this particular scene, Harvey) , as well as a close up to the news reporter and forensics. I also included a picture that I posted on my media Twitter account.

PLANNING: TEAM MEETING/RE-EVALUATION

PLANNING: TEAM MEETING/RE-EVALUATION

As a team, we all find it extremely important to make sure we are all on each others wavelength. We spent todays lesson looking over our original idea, and seeing if there was anyway we could expand it, and make it better. We also checked that our filming was up to date and everything was going well.

As a team we also made sure everyone was involved and scripts had been written for upcoming scenes, I took control of the main script for the news scene.

So far, the filming is going well and we are completely up to date. We are all extremely happy with our idea and have made a small minor changes just to maximise the audiences pleasure and climax when watching.

WRITING THE NEWS REPORTER'S SCRIPT

I took charge of devising the script for the news reporting scene in our short film opening.

NEWS REPORTER- 

I am now live from the scene in Esher, Surrey where husband and wife have been found dead in their small cottage. The police have asked any people who may know anything about the case to come forward.

I’m just getting some information in now… the women has been examined and it looks as though she has severe bruising to the neck, again the police as pleading for any information people might know, whether this involves seeing the husband and wife earlier in the day or thinking you may know something which will impact the rest of the case.

From the looks of things, this is unordinary.. I feel perhaps the police are hiding something, looking for a specific person who may have been affected similarly to come forward.

CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

EDITING

Today, my group and I started editing the first filmed pieces of our opening film sequence. We found that we may need to refilm some of the footage due to the lighting and sound, and we tried various editing processes using IMovie.
