blogging

We had to get some permission from Aaron Vanders parents, saying that we were allowed to film in their garden and to have a bonfire. We had filmed our film on Friday, 20th, January and on the camera the footage had looked clear enough. So in todays lesson we had uploaded the shots to the mac, but as we started to use Final cut the shots were not clear enough and the picture was dark. So we have decided to film our film again and we will film it tomorrow. To make the shot look clear we will need to have more light and maybe do it at an earlier time.

What we have done so far

In this post I will be informing you about what we have done within our group to get where we are now. We have shot our title sequence, so know we will have to start editing the shots to the best of our ability and see what outcome we get from it. We will start to edit it on tuesday and try to complete the editing by the end of Fridays lesson. We are nearlly finished in creating our songs, so when we have finished we will have to also edit that and make sure the shots and the voice over fit with the song. We have not done the voice over yet we hope to complete that during this week. We have sorted out the typeography there is only a few things to edit such as the colour, then we will have to find a way how to make the typeography float out of the bin. We have also found a company that will be creating our film, and we have also got our company name as well, which is called HARJ. We have also got a logo for the company. So all that is left to do is to start editing and then put everything together and see what we can create.

Filming day

Today we are going to film our film at 4.00pm. In todays lesson it was a catch up lesson for blogging. We have been advised to update our blogs. We are near enough finished with our song, we only have to add a few more beats then we will be finished. We have to now film our film, edit it, put it into the music add the voice note and put it all together. We will want to start editing our film next week so we will have to film our film today.

The voice over Script

This is going to be the voice over script for our title sequence. We have included tense and dark words and the reason for this is because our film is horror. We have included the word fire because our film is normally based around fire.
Fire is destructive… Fire destroys… Fire burns the flesh… and the soul… it takes away everything you hold dear… it can’t be controlled… it can never be stopped…  A monster born from the flames… The flames around may long have perished… but the fire still burns deep within… And it can’t be stopped… until it has consumed everything in its path.

final cut

This is the video that we had played around with in our lesson today. we had done this because we are going to create a film title sequence so it will be good for us to practise and get used to the software.

Props

We want to make the character look as if he is burnt, so we will have to buy some products. We will have to use, girls make up and some glue. We have been watching some videos on youtube to find out how the burns can look like. Mrs Moore had told us told us what we would need to create this effect. We will have a bonfire because our film is mainly based around fire. So we had to get permission from Aaron's parents to be able to do that in his garden. We have been granted permission to start a bonfire in Aaron's garden. We will have to follow some rules to make sure that nothing else happens.
These are some rules for a bonfire

Bonfire safety tips

Once the bonfire is lit, make sure you:

• keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby - in case of emergencies
• don’t leave the bonfire unattended
• keep children and pets away from the bonfire
• don’t throw any fireworks into the fire
• don't burn aerosols, tyres, canisters or anything containing foam or paint - many produce toxic fumes and some containers may explode, causing injury

Once the bonfire has died down, spray the embers with water to stop it reigniting.

Change of filming date

We had to change the day of when we was going to film our title sequence, because had come up. We have re scheduled to film our title sequence and that day would be a Friday, 20th, January, 2012. We will have to change our date on the film on the calendar that we have created because we are not doing it on the date that we have selected.
