Second day filming

Our second day filming was harder than the first. i had to cover my t shirt in fake blood, whilst Alisha had to cover her hand in it. since i would be laying on the floor throughout the whole first half i became part of the mise en scene meaning that i couldn't move from my spot. If i did it would break the continuity. There were also a few awkward shots that took about 15 takes to perfect it. one of the shots had to zoom into Alisha eye, but as it was in front of a mirror, we kept on seeing the camera in the reflection.We filmed late around 4:30 pm as we wanted there not be that much light.

First day of filming

This is our first day of filming in Alisha's house for the 2nd half of the opening. During this time we faced many different problems that we had to resolve by working together.

• The first scene of the 2nd half opens on Alisha's eye. For this to be successful we had to make sure that thing such as her eyeliner was the same.
• the shot walking down the stairs we had to make sure you couldn't see any shadows as there was a lot of light
• we had filmed with a bag after realising that the bag didn't appear until the shot in the living room. we had to change the scenes slightly 

However after facing these the day ran smoothly and we were able to film all the shots we needed. Some scenes didn't have enough light in them or the natural light wasn't bright enough so we used and LED camera light from school.

                                                                               

Storyboard Video

this is the storyboard to our title sequence put together in a short clip. This would help us to picture our sequence roughly and see what each scene would look like.

storyboard making

Here is the storyboard that we planned. As we were planning it we sat in the school toilets where it would be filmed to male our storyboard as accurate as possible. I drew the first half of the storyboard and it was pretty hard to get all the needed details in the storyboard. when we had an idea for each shot Morgan also filmed it on her phone so that when it came to the day of filming we would have a better idea of what each shot looks like as some of them were hard to show on paper.
After all the shots had been planned we decided to put the title halfway through the opening on the girls eye. It would zoom into her eye and as she closes it the title would appear on her eyelid. the camera would then zoom out and she'd be in her house.

On the 18th December, Morgan went round to Alisha's house to plan the second half of the storyboard, since it would be filmed at her house. Unfortunately i wasn't able to go, but there were no major changes to the main idea. They also brainstormed a few ideas for the name of our movie.
They also discussed the timings of each shot.

pitch

on 5th October we showed the pitch of our opening sequence to the class. the aim of this was to see of our idea made sense and if nit what we could do so that it made sense. Not only that but it developed other ideas that were suggested by our peers. Our main idea included a girl being killed the school toilets by another girl. she is being killed to stop the pain of her previous injuries, however these are never mentioned in our title sequence. the girl killing her is also unknown to be her friend, acquaintance, family member etc. This would be revealed in the 2nd half of the opening as halfway through the killing she is disturbed by an unknown figure. after that it would switch back to the 'murderer' getting ready, equipped with a knife (the suspected murder weapon) and then answering the door to the victim. by doing this you were able to tell that the girls were both friends.
We got the heads up from our class however, we were asked to think of a different 2nd sequence as a morning routine was very overused, since we were going to have her wake up and step out of bed.
