Footage we have and what we now need...

So far we have already got the time lapse. The time lapse was the initial idea for the film as it not only looks great but we believe it emphasises how the protagonist is feeling alone in the world, with everything moving fast pace but her staying still, oblivious to the world. This is followed by her getting up from trafalgar square where she starts her journey and from there become more anxious. We then see her walking into the train station - this shot we still need to record for the scene to make sense - followed by the shots we have of her sitting on the train becoming increasingly anxious as she gets closer to home. We then see her walking the ally's, frightened and aware of her surroundings making us ponder why, implying at this points she is hiding a secret. Furthermore, we are going to edit in a siren sound which triggers something in her mind and at this point she begins to run implying she may be in serious trouble. She continues to run with her ending up in forty hall which leads onto our last shot - still needed to be recorded. She then goes to pull a picture out of her pocket then ends leaving a cliffhanger, not giving to much away and to avoid making a short film. In all the shots Leanne has her earphones in allowing us to work with the sound allowing us to entwine diabetic music to the clips but when she begins to run the earphones fall out to show she is listening to the music. Also we have tried to make Leanne look rough, suggesting she has been up all night as she has too much on her mind to sleep. Final shots will hopefully be filmed this week, leaving plenty of time to edit so we can see if any more shots need to be re-done.

You will not believe it...

After our recording session last week we have finally buckled down and filmed the TIME LAPSE. We went out to Trafalgar early morning to get the shot then got the shots of Leanne on the train on her journey home becoming anxious. We have now pretty much got all the shots needed, now all that is left is to get a tracking shots and a few close ups of Leanne. We are all very happy we have the shots needed. Here is a few pics of  the days hard work:
                                       

Drum role please...

WE FINALLY WENT OUT FILMING... After deciding we would get all the shots needed in the Christmas break, we finally decided to go filming after delaying it for so long. Unfortunately Hannah could not make it as she was working but Taneshia, Leanne and I had a very productive day filming. We went around Enfield and got the shots needed here and re-recorded many shots also. Here are a few images of yesterdays work:

First Time-Lapse

As we have decided to start with a time lapse in the opening of a film we have decided to to a practice run to see how it turns out. By doing this it gives us a chance to see how we can edit it and how to arrange the things like the positioning of the camera. We placed it in the class on a cabinet to see if it is difficult to speed up while preparing to film the time-lapse even though we want to get the change from dark to light. This is how it turned out, it's a bit boring but not bad for our first attempt:

Practice Filming...

The group and I went out filming when we first got our equipment. We were told to make a black and white practice film, so we messed around a bit and this is our final product (it is a bit cheesy)... The use of non diagetic music creates a sense of enthusiasm. We enjoyed filming it and having fun re creating several shots, like the pan used. Moreover we wanted to film several other shots to practice before the real film like the Dutch tilt or tracking shot, which we did by putting the camera on a trolley and wheeling it along.
