Production Day-5 Filming/Editing

Today robert spent all of today creating our films title. He made it to a very high Quality in Adobe After Effects. It took the group a whole day of lessons to edit this single piece. We started to plan out the credits and decided to do it on final cut express.

Production Day-4 filming session 4

On Day four we went out-side and filmed the last shot's for our piece. Matt had to fall over in the forest so our piece will fit together. The shot is extremely simple but the shot proved to be a challenge to film because of our surroundings. We wanted Matt to fall backwards past a tree as the camera passes the tree, so the credits would slide in smoothly from the edge.

Directly after the shot we rushed back to the room so robert will have lots of time to edit the last of our footage.

Production Day-3 filming session 3

We went out filming again, we filmed Kieran in his suit. He made faces so we could edit him. we filmed him running down the corridor. we filmed matt falling over in the corridor and in the Forrest. This day was productive for us. We finished the filming that day, and we all began our post production. In the corridor and out side in the forest matt had to keep falling over. When matt fell over we made sure matt would fall over the safest way possible. In our story board, I would have to take the camera and would have to do a shot to go from low to high. I would have to rotate 360 degrees, but I did not have the equipment to do this. So we had to compromised to a tracking shot.

Production Day-2 filming session 2

we went out filming again and we filmed the hall way, this session had a lot less work done in it but we were trying to get the perfect shot. We got a tracking shot of matt going out side and seeing himself, he gets sacred and goes back inside. We used the wheel chair and the tripod for this scene, today we shot scenes 11-14. Rob was editing the scenes we shot the previous day we spent filming, this gave us more time on our hands. We spent some of the lesson coming up with some new ideas.

Production Day-1 filming session 1

the dark room

This Tuesday was the first session which we filmed for our trapped film. Before we could start filming, we had to fill out a equipment sheet. We filled the sheet out so we can have a camera, a filming camera, a tripod and a wheelchair.  Our first shot was the main character walking in the corridor. He goes into the room and gets locked in. He puts down the box and starts to panic. He starts waving at the security camera but no one notice's him. He gets out and he is very confused. He walks out of the corridor but he sees his self and get frightened. 

costume sheets

 The image on the left you can see is part of last fridays work. We went aside in one of our lessons to work out what props and costumes we would need. We used the internet to find cheaper alternatives to individual items. our costume sheet shows masks, suits and cloaks for a hooded monster.

Test film footage

Below is some of the test footage when we out with the camera and wheel chair. We went out to see how good is the camera and to get experience using the wheelchair and to get some test shots which we had planned in advance to get. The group went over the shots and saw that the wheel chair gave us cleaner smooth shots than using the dolly. 

Location sheets

Location 1

It took some time to get these re-takes we created because we did not get what we had to do. These location sheets are a variety of pictures illustrating locations we will film at. We have as many different photographs as we could get so the camera man will  know what environment he will be working in, so that they could plan ahead and know what the locations look like.
location 1 is our forest location, as you can see we took photos of the trees.

Location 2
This location is found outside the G block, the main character will walk out of the doorway leaving the building. Their also will be a shot facing the wall, we plan to mirror this shot,  so the actor will walk back through the same door.














Location 3 & 4
Their will be a variety of shots of the hallway that our  monster/demon will be in. It will be a very twisted but straightforward set of shots. We
managed to get the rest of the shots with as little effort as possible.

safety and Film Schedule

We had to fill out a form about the risks and hazards there were at the locations we are going to film in.
We also had to fill out film schedule sheets saying what scene we would get to on that day. 

Story boards

We started the story boards but rob and kieran finished them off because of our exam.I write out the shot info underneath the post-notes drawings. For that day's class I finished and inked our story boards. I did only a few frames in the entire piece. 

MC 900ft Jesus - If I Only Had A Brain

Target audience Member

I had to create an photo collage in photoshop presenting our target audience. This collage will show the activities that they would be interested in and regularly do. They would listen to all kinds of music but mainly hard core music. They would see action films and supernatural films. They would use the internet to listen to music and catch up on TV programs on their laptop. 

I used these photos of were to advertise the movie because it will be a twisted paradox(it will be very dark). To make this collage I created a A4 sheet and rotated it 90 degrees, then I added new layers for each image.

My Mood Board

This lesson we were told to make a mood board for the preparation of our Trapped film. Our group story is about a man who is trapped in a room who gets out but does he?  My mood board was picture's of a man trapped in a room  and monsters. I made this mood board by putting different photo's on different layers on Photoshop. This is a photo collage setting the mood of the trapped film yet to come.

I did this first time at findyourtribe i got Rah.
This is just about wright about everything apart from one or two things.

"Trapped" initial planning

My initial idea is a man walking down a long corridor,  this building is abandoned shut down with the power left on,  then he gets into a lift. The lift stops, the man panics, the power dies. His mobile has no signal so he can't call for help. He forces his self to open the lift door, but their was just solid concrete. trapped for ever. But in the end we came up with a trapped idea with a twisted story. A man walks into a room with a box. He puts the box down, he gets locked in. He wakes up on the other side of the door. He walks into the corridor with a hunched hooded figure the light flickers then the hooded figure is standing over him he blacks out. Then suddenly he opens his eyes and he's in a forest.
