filming

we have decided to take images and ideas from the first clip which we shot of me and callum having dinner. we think that for the time effort it would be allo teasyer if we just filmed us having a conversation rarther than having dinner. we will be filiming this either some point through tomorow or tomorow night then editing strait afterwards.

Filming

as our teacher pointed out it became clear to us that we did not get all of the shots which we needed to produce al;l of the shots in the video.
we have decided we needed to flim again but were not able to film over the weekend due to lack of equiptment and time. we are going to film the remainder of the shots tomorow night after school. unfortuatly we will have to use school facilities but this will hopefully work with our story line to fit in with the romantic / just meal between two people disgussing one's pesonal issues with drugs.
in the clip it will show emotion between two people and how they feel about the situation that is drug.
we will produce such shots as the 360 Degree rule and over the shoulder shots. to show a sense of emotion we will also do such shots as extreme close up and close up's to show the emotion of the two charicters.

we will also need to shoot the voice over of the man who takes on the blame of killing his girlfriend.

this will then hopefully get us back on track with all of our editing and make us be ahead for when the rough cut is in.

the name of our film

We decided as now we have got our footage it would be an appropriate time to give our film a name. Heres a list of the possible names that we thought of:

  • Never Forgotten
  • Regret
  • Guilt
  • From The Grave
  • 6 Feet Under
  • The Decision
We chose to go with REGRET because we feel this best fits the mood of the film. We have tried to show as best as we can the fact that the male is in a lot of grief over the female and he cannot escape the fact that what he gave her had a direct impact on the way that she died. He obviouisly regrets giving her the drug in the first place which is why we think that this is the best title for our movie out of the names that we came up with.

Clips we shot

FILE0050 - is an image of the grave stone which we used as my grave in the story line, we will edit the date on this through things such as photoshop or paint to show a date more belevable to the age of the charicter.


FILE0051 - is a clip of callum walking through the grave yard, this shows him holding a reif and placing it down onto the grave.


FILE0052 - is a clip of callum once he is at the grave showing his emotion and how he is feeling at that moment in tim. we took this shot from behind to make the clip show the viewer his emotion without using his face.


FILE0053 - is another shot of callum buyt this time he is sitting on a bench, this clip shows callum looking distressed and angry.


FILE0056 - is a clip of callum walking towards the grave.


FILE0057 - is a clip of callum leaving the grave yard and walking away from the troubles that are on his mind and the guilt he feels.


FILE0065 - is the clip of me and callum having a meal and disgussing callums drug addiction, i then probe and ask him questions on why he takes heroin and what effect it is having on his well being and life.


FILE0067 - is a clip of callum burning the heroin ino a liquid.

Media filming

last night we filmed our media project in various different areas. however our footage that we have took is allot different from the script that we had planned out, we have had to change the script to something along the lines of a troubles drug user as his girlfriend is encurraged and then is forced to take heroin. the storyline was changed because of the fact that we were constantly let down by our actors. we then all came the the comclusion that it would be allot easyer if we just relied on the resources that we had and considering that it is for our media project we all pulled together to produce the starting of the film. we chose to film in a grave yard and at my house as this was the most conveniant place for us all to meet and their was a grave yard locally. this made filming ten times easyer for us all. we now have all of our footage and neeed to edit it now.
