Sound

Today I suggested to Maisie I think the eerie, suspense sound should start the main character is first alone. This way it signifies to the audience that an event is going to occur because we had this beginning from the start but it wasn't creating meaning correctly.

Group Meeting - Production Ident



Group Meeting - Cuts

There is to be a group discussion on Monday the 14th Feb to elaborate on any editing done so far that we think needs altering and to share any new worries or thoughts.

Now that all the clips have been put into order I think we need  to be generous cutters and cut out anything that isn't essential to the understanding of the narrative because otherwise it will end up dragging on and on and will be extremely boring - no one wants to watch a film like that.

General Planning and Thoughts

Currently planning to meet at Maisie's house for 7pm (to ensure the setting in terms of weather and time of day matches the story that begins in a street at silly hours in the morning). It was decided to use Maisie's house as the location as it was suitable in regards to the surrounding streets as well as being convenient for us all (not spending a long time on travel) and easily acsessable.

We have shared the responsibility of the providing of different props, and equipment. For example I have booked out and will be supplying the HD Camera and organising costume whilst Maisie will be in charge of the tripod and crucial prop that is the house telephone. This way we save time by not relying on eachother for things they had no idea they were responsible for ect. I am currently in possesion of the Production Booklet also, therefore I will be bringing that to complete the shooting logs.

Shauna (our main actor) is going to meet me at my house before we make our way to Maisie's where our secondary actor will join. Actors have been carefully chosen to suit the requirements of the roles (personality, appearance, experience).

We hope to have all filming finished in no longer than 4-5 hours, as it could  be difficult to replicate the positioning of props, weather conditions, actors make up/hair and therefore there is a demand for us to film the same scene in a range of angles so we have a selection to choose from when it comes to editing.

Changes to - Filming Date

Filming was originally suppose to take place on Sunday 30th January, however due to complications with various factors such as unavailable actors and unsuitable weather, it has now been postponed to Thursday 3rd February. Have checked this with all invloved.

Group Meeting - General

Below are a few notes I wrote down to help initiate and prompt me on the points I wished to bring up in the discussion.
