Music Inspiration 2!

After discussing what kind of music we want in our thriller we decided that we wanted it to be modern rather than a classical piece of music, this was mainly because our thriller is aimed at the 16-25 target audience so I think a modern piece of music would be better suited because the audience would be able to relate to it better.

However we still wanted the 'eerie' feel that classical music can have to it, and that's when we began listening to Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails and Johnny Cash.

Costume Change!

Due to our plot and characters changing we in turn had to slightly change the costume, now both of our characters are wearing red hoodies. This is also makes the story a little more believable because one girl wearing a red hoody can easily be mistaken for another girl wearing a red hoody.

Also whilst editing we realised that we can't have all the film in black and white but the red hoody still red, so once we have re-filmed part one we are going to decide whether to have the whole film in colour or black and white.

Editing 1!

Whilst editing today, we realised that even though we filmed at the same time on both days, the lighting was different - so in the first part of the video it is nearly dark outside, whereas in the second part it is very light. So we are now going to be re-filming part one next week.

Filming Attempt 2!

For our second filming attempt, we left earlier so we could film the outside scenes whilst it was still light. We thankfully managed to finish all our filming today so we can now fully concentrate on editing. Our main aims for the moment are to finish editing by finding the right music, the right editing techniques and movie credits.

Filming Attempt 1!

Our first filming attempt didn't really go to plan, purely because we started filiming too late in the day, so the footage we did manage to take was just too dark to use and most of the video could not be seen cleary. However we've finished our inside scenes meaning we can now edit them. Just our outside scenes to film and then the filiming is all finished!

Costume!

After thinking about what kind of clothes our characters should wear, we decided that the main victim should just wear dark clothing like jeans and a navy hoodie, and the other character should wear a red hoodie. The colour RED signifies danger and because our film is in black and white, and the only colour will be red, this will stand out to the audience.

Another Plot Change!

Due to one of our actors pulling out on the day of filming, we had to alter the plot slightly, so instead of having a boy receive the text messages, we now have a girl receiving them. However we this can be used to our advantage because it makes more sense for a girl to mistaken for another girl then a girl getting mistaken for another boy. Although I now have to play the other girl, I will film the sections of the clip that I am not in, whilst Lauren films the parts that I am in.
