Production log week 6

This is the final week before the deadline and so we are all determined to finish our project. We had a bit of a dilemma about the sound, as the dialogue didn't come out very clear and our attempts to find a soundtrack weren't really successful. So lily and me wrote a voiceover script and we decided to set the entire trailer against a voiceover, which  I spoke in and she recorded. The whole group thought it was very fitting and I then had to learn how to edit against the voiceover so that it matched up with the images. This was a very difficult process. However, after trying to do this for two lessons I was finally happy with what I had done and we watched our trailers as a group. I was overall very impressed with everyone's acting and editing skills and I think we overcame difficulties to work well as a team.

Production log week 5

We originally believed that we had all the filming done last week, but at the beginning of this week when we started editing we realised that for our non flashback/continuous trailer to be long enough and interesting enough we needed some more exciting scenes. As such we decided to go out and film some more scenes with the villain (marwan) stalking his victims. These were very tense and we used uplighting, which gave us a good introduction to what the next unit will be about, namely different lighting techniques. Having done this by the middle of the week we then all began editing separately, and I finished editing all the visuals, as well as putting in the credits. All that we need to do next week is think about the sound then the project will be finished.

Following on from the slow filming of last week, this week we decided that we would use new actors who are likely to be available at the same time as us. As such we filmed some scenes with kyla and muna as they are part of our group and we also filmed some scenes with dakaisha as she is friends with all of us and is always in school and very reliable, she was even in my film last year. We filmed the more dramatic scenes with marwan to build tension and we made sure that all of the present day scenes had been filmed as well as the flashbacks for the non continuity trailer. This way all our filming is complete, so we can spend the next two weeks editing to ensure that everything is done in time for the deadline and that we will have two completed trailers.

Voiceover

VOICEOVER SCRIPT Character background- obsessed with attention and control, self-obsessed, toxic childhood, mental health problems, disordered, psycopathic ---- Scene 1 I never wanted to be like this. I never thought I’d turn into the kind of guy who people would despise.She accused me of being abnormal and crazy, but she’s the one who is crazy. And I’m going to show her that she can’t hurt me like this.  Scene 2 (shots 4-7) I can’t even look at her without feeling betrayed. I need to make her feel the sort of pain that she made me feel. I needed to hear her voice again. But when I finally heard her voice it just made the hatred grow stronger I’m watching you… you will pay for what you did. I can picture her reading my words and I can almost feel her fear. It’s the fear I felt when she betrayed me… I don’t want to do this to her. She wasn’t my friend, and she never really noticed me. That was the problem. I couldn’t bring myself to click s...

Production log week 3

Within the 3 week of filming we decided on editing and redo certain scene as we believe that the framework of trailer is complete but we need to work together analyse each scene and decided as group if we believe the scene is engaging , intriguing to our views. The productivity of the filming has drooped understandable to edit as well as analyse our scene we had no filming problems only actors being missing due to personal reason which was told to the group in advances. The main scene within the film have been shot. However, it seem that we are having significant problem with the next scene and more dramatic scene to be added to our trailer. We decided to reconsider acting roles to improve our trailers acting skills cause its currently, lacking and it isn't intriguing to our target audiences.
