Here is the link to our final opening which is now exported and on youtube.

Update. 29/03/10

During the editing process we have made many changes and the shots are in a different order. We have also used different sounds to the ones posted below on the blog. We will explain what we have changed in our evaluation.
We also did one more shoot where we shot at our school. This included girl#2 walking around the school after the title '3 days earlier'. This starts the film and during this the song 'White Horse' by Taylor Swift will be played.
The deadline is tomorrow and we simply need to sort the final sounds tomorrow and make any final adjustments in our lesson and lunch hour if needed.

Changes

We uploaded the footage from the montage that we shot and decided that it was not necessary for our plot and was not effective. We therefore decided not to use it. As stated previously, we also made the decision to re-shoot the river parts. The storyboard has completely changed now...
1. The montage at the beginning has been removed, although we have one part of the montage at the very beginning which is mud being washed down the sink.
2. We have different shots in the river location than before
3. The party scene has stayed the same and in the same order although it will not appear alltogether in the opening.
4. We will use the river scene and the boy will have many flashbacks which will be all the flashback footage in parts in each flashback in chronological order.



Here is a basic outline of our new storyboard...

Group: River Shoot #2

After watching our footage that we shot on our river filming sesion by the river we came to the conclusion that not only did we not shot enough footage, there was not a a big enough variety of shots. We made the decision as a group to re-shoot the river scene as well feel this is the most important part of our film opening. Once we reviewed this new footage we felt we had much better quality footage and was well worth reshooting the scene.

Group: Preliminary Task

This is our Preliminary Task.

The Preliminary task helped us in preparing for the real film opening. It showed us how long it will take us to film and edit our opening.

Group: Copryright Permission

In our film opening we wanted to add some music, however there was an issue with copyright. This is the left we wrote and sent to EMI Records to seek permission to use their song in our film opening.

Group: Copyright Permission

We have emailed the company that distributed the song 'Taylor Swift - White Horse'. We asked for permission to use this song in our film.

SL - First filming

We did our first piece of filming yesterday evening. This filming was of the flashback of the boy character. We had two different locations which were
1. walking by a pub to the party
2. in the back garden of the party
We slightly changed some of the shots from the storyboard as follows:
1. We added in an extra shot from the back of girl#1 and the boy walking to the party.
2. We added a panning shot of girl#1 and the boy walking up to the party and the boy knocking on the door with someone opening it. As the door opens, loud music is heard.
3. The shots outside the party were kept the same.

We managed to successfully include the pan down where the glass smashes and we are definately going to use the sound effect of the glass smashing as it is extremely effective.

Although we shot in the dark, we used lighting from the pub and nearby lights, and porch lights and house lights from the party.

We are next going to film this weekend on Sunday and this will be at Dunorlan park. We will be filming the river scene.
