PLANNING 59 - UPDATED RADIO TRAILER

PLANNING 58 - FEEDBACK FROM LATEST EDIT

PLANNING 57 - AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

 

• First Title: Should be more conventional e.g. blood dripping from letter or static buzz.
• First Title: Too much font to read – should read it up to 2.5 seconds.
• Last Title: There should be a shot of the basement like a freeze frame, with Johnny’s voiceover saying ‘will you run into the realm of psychosis?’ because it is more engaging and adds to the intensity.  

PLANNING 56 - PROBLEMS WE FACED DURING FILMING

PROBLEMS AND HOW WE SOLVED THEM

PROBLEMS	HOW WE SOLVED THEM
One problem that we faced is the camera that we began with. We started with a Panasonic camera which was heavy to hold and hard to see through as the viewer was small. Also we found that the quality wasn’t as good, and that in some scenes it was grainy.	We solved this by changing cameras. Instead of using the Panasonic camera we changed to the 7D Canon, which has a great HD quality and is a lot easier to hold to ensure that we don’t get tired of holding it.
Another problem that we faced is timing. As our actors are from a different college they too have other priorities, therefore they weren’t always able to film on the dates we chose.	To solve this we made a deal of filming continuously on Saturday’s so that we were always free and that way filming wouldn’t get in the way of their learning time.
We also faced problems when we had to secure a church location. We tried many churches in the area and got rejected as they found that doing a horror film was unacceptable in a church.	Therefore to secure a church location, we went out of area and found one in Stepney, who were happy to help us, and understood the narrative and found that really our character was there for peace and comfort.
Also, another problem that we faced was keeping our continuity constant. We had troubles with this as some of our actors came in different clothing so it didn’t match up to the rest of the film.	However we solved this whilst we were editing. We re-filmed the scenes where they aren’t wearing the correct clothing and when we were editing we cut the two different scenes in half to make a whole scene.

PLANNING 54 - FILMING DIARY DAY 6

FILMING DIARY

 

On Thursday 5th March 2015, we asked our actors to come in for a quick recording of their voices. This was because we found that some of the voices had a buzz behind them, or weren't loud enough etc. Therefore we decided to re-record some of their lines. Our first actor Faizur (Jake) came in at 8, so we had already written out and got the Dictaphone ready for the start of the day so we didn't waste time as he had to go to his own college too. Our other actor Mizannur (Johnny) came in after school, so just to fill up time we continued editing and already inserted the new voiceovers from Faizur. Although we didn't film, we found that this was crucial for our film to flow well.

PLANNING 53 - FILMING DIARY DAY 5

FILMING DIARY

 

On Tuesday 17^th February, we came into our school location to film the final basement scene. We started off with the make up so that it would come up on camera. Although this was time consuming as we have never done this before, and we had to ensure that our actor’s skin was okay throughout the whole way as him being a boy wearing makeup made him feel a little nervous! However after this we finally got a good ‘dark under eye’ look, and began to film. We didn’t have much time as our actors don’t really like the feeling.

PLANNING 52 - FILMING DIARY DAY 4

FILMING DIARY

 

On Saturday 14^th February we went to film scene 3, which is in the church. We made our way to St Dunstan church and quickly introduced ourselves before we got started. Although we had to keep stopping as people were passing by when we were both inside and outside the church, it was done quickly as the location was quiet and we didn’t have too many things to distract us. However, we did struggle in one section of the scene because we could get the lighting to hit the bag, as we wanted to use natural lighting because it was in the day. After filming this we only have our last basement scene to do, as we didn’t get this done on day 3, and a few extra things that needed to be fixed up.
