Plasticine Storyboard

Okay, this could've gone better. As much as it looks like it was easy, it wasn't! but we still managed to do it. Our group decided to be spontaneous and create a plasticise storyboard. We thought about practicing this way as it allowed us to see what angles look best and give us an idea of what we wanted to achieve.

Reverse shots!

Some fantastic reverse shots from Wales and around the corner! Our team had this stage where we were obsessed with putting a reverse effect on our videos but I think it was all for the better as the results we got from them were pretty cool. We've all also come to the conclusion that we will be using some of these particular shots for our film company bit at the beginning of our film opening. I think we should use the Wales waves because it looks awesome and i've never seen anything like it. We still haven't discussed our film companies name but I am sure we'll get to it at the end. For now, we're just going to focus on the final product and make sure it is as amazing as we pictured it.

Discussion In Starbucks

A couple of days ago me and my 'hard-working' team decided to have a coffee evening after school to discuss our media thoughts. Spending tine at Starbucks was one the most efficient things we had ever thought of doing as we managed to finalise the plot for our final film. We thought of continuing on with the thriller genre but adding a psychological touch to it. We decided to include a protagonist with schizophrenia and have the theme based on love... but a disturbing and eerie kind of love. Hopefully our group will finally be able to produce a vlog with ALL of us together where we'd be able to mention our story that we want to base our final film opening on and anything else we might of forgot to introduce. Below is a 'wonderful' image of me and Sophie writing down some notes and jotting some ideas, whilst Elena (Mrs 'don't wanna be in front of the camera') took the image. Even further down are images of some of the notes about our final film opening...

Practicing With The Reverse Effects

OMG, I'M A GENUIS. After a few difficulties with the format of our video not being compatible with iMovie, I finally managed to figure out a way to make it work! Thank me later Elena and Sophie.

Here is our attempt at using the reverse effect on our film, I think it looks rather supirior. I managed to fiddle around with iMovie at home and put this short clip together. I tried my best to find relevant music and thought I should use a more up beat and intense track to compliment the footage and continued on with our black and white themed film. I enjoyed filming them both and was tremendously proud of the outcome.

This is a outstanding example of a reverse technique used in this film. Our group were thinking of using this approach towards our final film opening as we were fond of the effects it gives the audience. It also enhances the movement included in the clip as it's motion is slowed down and you can see clearly all the action.

Practice Filming (Still Shots)

Above are a few still images of some footage we made last lesson. Our group are finally back together again as Elena has come back and we managed to get some footage of practice filming. Above, there are still shots of the clips. I was the camera woman again and director. I love being behind the camera and I feel Elena and Sophie have done an AMAZING effort in being the actresses. It took us quite some time to get the best shots as we all lost concentration from Sophie abusing Elena; but managed to get it together and complete our target at the end.

Sophie's Trip To Wales

I managed to steal some photo's I found on Sophie's blog from her trip to Wales that I found most interesting. I love the location and the ominous, vintage look to the cathedral she discovered.
