What did you think worked well?

If anything, what would you change?

Nearly there ...

So, we have finished filming, and editing! Personally, I think it looks good. I think we worked to the best we can and finished with a good outcome! I think Dani and I work well together and our work turns out well too! Got to write up our evaluation yet, but then hopefully we are all done! See you next time!

What we have done so far ...

So, last week we began filming the scenes that were to be filmed inside school grounds. The shots with 'Lilly-Rose' and Aiden' were really funny to film! We found it quite difficult to film them walk into eachother, the books to drop and them to have a 45 second conversation because we kept laughing! Therefore, we have a lot of editing to do to make it all run smoothly, but it's going well so far! :-)
This week, Danielle and I are going to film the rest at home , and them edit them next week in time for the deadline, 9th December. See you soon!

Script

So, after talking about what we wanted to be in our script, we realised there is about 45 seconds of speech. After they have bumped into each other, they then begin talking and continue talking later on the day online, therefore, the script is short!

(Aiden and Lilly-Rose bump into each other,  drop stuff on the floor and bend down to pick it up)
Aiden: Oh, I'm sorry..
Lilly-Rose: Sorry, I was in a world of my own there.
(Aiden and Lilly-Rose both laugh nervously)
Lilly-Rose: I've never seen you around before
Aiden: That's funny... I've seen you.
(Lilly giggles nervously)
Aiden: I just moved here last week
Lilly-Rose: Oh, well, do you need anyone to show you around, show you where to go and help you out a bit?
Aiden: I was kinda' hoping you'd say that (nervously)
(Lilly-Rose's friend, Olivia, walks over)
Olivia: Come on Lilly, we've got a lesson to get to, we can't be late again (walks away)
Lilly-rose: Urm..sorry, I, I have to go. See you soon?
Aiden: Yeah- see you around.

So, here's our script! It's pretty short, and very to the point! Just enough to get our audience hooked and want to watch more! They want to find out what happens between them two! See you next time!

Questionnaire

So, we carried out a questionnaire and asked some people what they thought of our idea. Once we had told them our idea, we asked them the following questions:

What do you think of our final idea?

• Liked it.
• Thought it needed more work to it.
• Good idea, can't wait to see the finished product!

What would you change about our idea, if anything?

• It seems quiet quick, so, to break it down a bit, show them wearing different clothes on different days, and show the time.
• I think it's a good idea, however I think they should talk more!
• I like the idea, but i prefer musicals! Can't they sing or something?! ;-)

Which of the following names are better?
-'It's You' (2 votes)
-'The Day They Met' (1 vote)
-'Time Flys By' (0 votes)

Would you watch our movie?

• Yes! It keeps you thinking!
• I don't know if it's my type of film, but sure - why not?!
• It sounds ok! So, yeah?!

Location Recce

Here is where we are planning on filming for our final media production.
Location:
Queensbury Upper School
Date & time of filming:
22nd November till 6th December 2010
What we will film here:
Here, we will film an establishing shot of the front of the school, and then will pan round to the school sign, introducing to the audience where it is being filmed.
Our findings:

• The noise level of the location we're going to be using is quite loud, but we are going to film during the middle of the day, so therefore it would be quieter and there won't be many cars on the road due to work.
• For health and safety, Danielle and I will have to make sure we stand not too close to the road as we run the risk of us getting run over.
• We would have to make sure the lighting isn't too bright and too dark. Not too light because the light would reflect on the actual sign making it un-readable. However, if it is too dark, you wouldn't be able to see the school or the sign.

Location:
My house, in dunstable
Date & time of filming:23rd November till 30th December
What we will film here:
Here, we will film the girl walking down the road to her house, and then walking into the house. We will then film the girl in the house on her computer.
Our findings:

• We will have to make sure that there isn't much background noise as you won't be able to hear her typing, which gives the full effect of the shot. Also because it would ruin it!
• For health and safety reasons, we will have to have a person with the camera man to make sure they don't trip up over any cables, wires or props.
• For lighting, when the girl is walking home from school, it would have to be getting slowly darker to show the time difference from her leaving school to her getting home. For when the girl is on the computer, it wouldhave to moderatly dark, with perhaps a little light. We need it dark ish so we are able to see the computer screen.

See you next time!
