... Scene 8 ...

Within this scene we added and took away certain objects such as; took out the rubbish from the bedside table and added a beer bottle which the victiim then knocked over as he tried to turn his alarm off ... this was planned but changed form our original idea.

... Scene 7 ...

This is the only scene that has stayed exactly the same... Static behind the title before it cuts to the beginning of the film.

...Scene 6 ...

We hadn't decided which images we would be using until we started putting it all together; although we had a few rough ideas in which we knew would definately be edited into this scene.

We also changed the idea of using Images to Clips; this would give the affect that we wanted better than still images. Once we started editing, more ideas started to flow and Ben Cawdron edited the static and clips so that they got shorter (and therefore faster) until it hit the Title.

Examples of the clips we used; Static (s), Killer on phone, S, Drug deal, S ... etc

We also decided to add 'titles' within this scene; before the film name is shown.

...Scene 5 ...

We changed this scene by splitting into 2 separate cuts; one of the killer and the FF walking away and the second of the victim on the floor. We used this as a cut-scene to the static images and the beginning of the OTS.

... Scene 3 & 4 ...

Due to the lighting, we changed the direction in which the killer and femme fatale (FF) were walking, in order to get a better image (to be able to see their faces clearly) without adding any artificial lighting which would look odd within this OTS.

... Scene 2 ...

When we filmed this part we all decided (including the actors used) that it would be better if the killer were to push the victim into the fence and have the gun against the back of his head; this would enable the audience to the gun and be aware of what is happening without changing the monologue and the music in the background.

Storyboards ...

For our Opening Title Sequence (OTS), we had decided to start it in an dark alleyway. The audience would firstly see the victim and then quickly followed by the killer behind him.
This scene in the our original storyboard was kept how we planned, with only the camera angles differing from the original. The sound was also changed, as only the sound of footsteps was too quiet and added footsteps sounded too fake so we decided to add music to the background.

... 30.12.09 ...

As Tom (main character) was unable to meet for filming today, we could not get any done as we planned; the only next available day we could all be together for this is the 4th of January. We need tom, Mark and Anna (uncle and aunt) plus, preferably, all of us (me, ben, ben and jay) to film and arrange everything in scene as best we can. Also, as this is the last day of the holiday (and the last day before we have another media lesson) we need to make sure that we all are there and get the rest of the filming we need (everything we didn't do before!!).

...29.12.09 ...

Met for filming as planned with an early start at Toms' house; we managed to get the majority of our filiming done and came up with some new ideas to add to the OTS. We also filmed the monologue which will be added to the appropriate parts of the OTS. It was useful that we were able to have 3 cameras as it meant that we could shoot from different angles at the same time and also meant that Ben, Ben and Jay had a camera each to film with instead of taking turns. I was in charge of making sure each camera was in the right place and angled appropriately.

... 27.12.09 ...

As it was decided, we all met round mine to go through ideas together. Unfortunately, Jay couldn't make it but Me, Ben Hawkins and Ben Cawdron went through our ideas and made arrangements (Jay included) to film on 29th and 30th of Dec 09.

'Filming Journal ... '

As the director of our group for the 'Opening Title Sequence' (OTS) Task, I was in charge of getting everyone together and organising when and where we would all be meeting up. The first thing I did when we all got together was to separate everything that needed to be done between all of us; Ben Cs' first task was to think of possible names for the film, this is what he came up with; Revisited, The pursuit, Out of Place, In Too Deep, Dealership.
During the christmas holiday we were set to get all of the filming done. This was hard as it was awkward to get all of us together at once. So i arranged for us all to meet on the 27.12.09 for a few hours to get all of our ideas together; this would help with some possible storyboards i could come up with for filiming.
