Main Task: Editing

We continued to edit are task on final cut pro today, by adding in diegetic sound and names today for the actors an our group, we have added them in place where we think they all fit in will on different sections which we believe they look good. Furthermore we have shows them in different places an angles for example along the car when it drives past.

Main Task: Diegetic sound

We have been going over are diegetic sound recently and from looking at our story broad our ideas have changed on what and where sound was going to be placed in our opening. So we have stared ti opening with creepy music to help set the genre as teen horror so we picked instrument music because it shows scary but not to over the top. We were going to change to pop music as the actors are in the car but the transition would heard right or fit well therefore we are going to have to sound continue through the piece and add in sound effects for examples when Harry jumps up and hits the car window sound will be add to make it more effected at shock the audience.

Main Task: Place that our film many facture

As extra research we have been thinking of place at which are film we be shown and we don't believe it to be a box office but yet something like i film would be shown on a channel such as MTV or channel 4, as it is a independentt film that is low budget, therefore these channel show film such as our film, furthermore we would be likely to show it on other of these channels as they appeal to our target audience, with channel four being a more lied back channel compared to  a BBC channel, this would help as a film would show strong language, also MTV main target audience is teen ages and with our BBFC being a 15 this suits our film well .

Main Task: Filming

This week our group started filming our opening 2 minutes.
 Monday13th:This was our first day of filming with are actors and main prop being the car, we arrived at are setting but found out we were unable to film there so we quickly had to change are plans and find other setting for the car scene then we came up against the fact that one of are actors pulled out in the morning but this wasn't going to stop us so Tabatha ( member from our group) decided to take there place so we didn't have to reorganise the whole thing. From looking at our storyboards we got the scene when the car drives past the camera and all the shot when the male character asks to go to the toilet and drops his phone. 


 Tuesday 14th: As we got most of are actors scene complete we set out to the wood that where shown in are location hunting to film the establishing shots and the rest, we filmed the shots shown on our storyboard but we also added in other shots that we thought looked scary and would fit in with our genre.


After filming all of this we has decided that we need to redo some of it and this time play more attention to times because we didn't realise how long it would take to film some sections but over all for are first filming i believe we have some promising shots.

Main Task: Non Diegetic

Today i spent looking for non diegetic sound for when the camera is in the woods, i was looking for unknown artist to use for this and we don't want to use well know music some example of sound we may use are:

 Listen to this sound tracks ( with pink album art) we have decided to maybe use the last one as it isn't to heavy ad has what we are looking for.

Main Task: Media Pitch

Main Task: BBFC

Looking at the BBFC ( British Board of Film Classification) helped us to choose are age classification of 15 for are film, this is because are target audience is 15 and over because it is a teen horror, this is because it will include drugs alcohol and swearing, it will also show violence but not alot therefore it is an under 18 film.

Main Task: Naming our film

As a group we found naming are film was one of the hardest things we had come up against in are research and planning so far. We decided not to have a title with just one word as it makes the film look like it is going to be a Hollywood blockbuster. We eventually come up with the title 'Out of service' this is because it links with the idea of social media, and giving the idea that there are lost and something will happen to them. We also thought this linked to our genre well and added a horror effect to it.

Main Task: Rough Script

This is are rough script, we haven't finished are full script because all our actors are good friends so they will made up conversion themselves but there is just some key lines they will have to say, this is were our script comes in. This will make sure that are dialogue isn't unnatural and will help it follow.
