Shoot - more photos

Here are some photos from our shoot including photos of our cast and crew, behind the scenes, and screen snapshots to help when resetting a scene.

feedback notes continued....

If the girl bit is first the story will make much more sense and create more enigma, because the audience will think that the girl is talking to an agony aunt, which will be anchored by the text on screen of the illusive charcter 'julie' and then they will see that julie is in fact a man. This hopefully will provoke some sort of frightened emotion of shock.

We could show an establishing shot of her house (lauras will do fine) and then show her, so that everything is all happy and nice
and then the shots of his and the bungalow....showing the contrast
or we could have no house at all??

Editing stuff - feedback

i think that would make it clearer, but i suppose what we should do is try it where it shows her talking to "julie" and then show that to random people to get their opinions as to whether or not it makes sense.

About the "F word" - I KNOW!! im very confused, because if it was a certificate 18, then there definitely would be swearing, however, i suppose since it is a school project, the rules are different?

Try some different things, maybe swap the orders of the clips on another timeline or something...

Good luck!

Oh by the way, the film clip looks helpful, i like that film, but what language is it dubbed in?!?! Lol.

Computer Conversation 2

Something's Gotta Give

The computer conversation in "Something's Gotta Give" shows lots of good techniques like zooming in to the line as it's being typed, and cuts between expression and screen in a realistic way. We could easily try all this.

Hello ill people, hope you're feeling better.
I agree that it doesn't make sense at the moment...it does look like her boyfriends and there isn't an indication that she thinks he's a woman...But when we do screen shots of typing and show "Julie" on screen won't this make it clearer? I don't know how to change this....if the girl bit is first how will it make it clearer? But we should try it anyway.
Also if we remove the "F word" from the line it sounds stupid - we deffinitely can't have it?? But it's a horror movie that would be an 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More shots of King, yeah we were planning on doing that anyway.
And the briefcase bit we should try differently because it can go anywhere, really.


In this editing session, shall I try some new things? Can you give me some specific things to do and I'll try them? Or shall I just leave it.

BLK Feedback 12/12/08

I showed our media teacher our sequence so far, even though it was not the final order and we still have some things to film/re-shoot
here is what she had to say:

• The girls part must be first-the narrative and story doesn't make sense; it looks like she's talking to her boyfriend. She should be first with an establishing shot of her house
• NO swearing in the scrip - it's not appropriate
• The close ups of the knives should go later, after the men have got her address because the pace of the action is begins to pick up and so it would lead in nicely into the quick montage of the briefcase.
• Also the titles may not be needed to break up the shots in the briefcase; a montage may be enough

She told us that our shots were really good and of a high quality which is good, but when we re-shoot we should get some more shots of King from the angle which you can see him in the mirror, as it is a really creepy shot.

Overall positive comments which is really good, and I feel we are prepared for our re-shoot.
