Our film half way through production: 16/2/11.

•   This is a clip of our film half way through production. I hadn't created any music yet as we hadn't filmed and uploaded all of the necessary clips to work out how many different tracks I wanted to fit with the film, therefore the clip is silent.
•    Also the blank clips between each filmed shot were kept blank, as I researched the relevant times and dates by researching the story on Google after I had finally decided which clips to keep in the film as, for example, I decided to take out the newspaper clip at the last minute.
•    The first shot we managed to shoot was the bathroom scene. Here is shown the effect found on Windows Movie Maker after trying out iMovie and VideoPad for the fuzzy effect on the bathroom scene. 
• The second we managed to shoot were the shots of the two actresses walking out of the house and along the street due to our problems with casting which have already been described in my post on "Problems with filming had to overcome:".
•   The shots with dialogue turned out to be the most difficult, due to problems with the sound quality on the camera, as any wind would drown out the voices of the actors. We also had this problem with the forest scene shown in this clip, as instead of the wind adding atmosphere as we had hoped, it just made a horrible noise on the clip, which is why the clip shown is silenced along with the rest. We thought this silence would add atmosphere itself. The alternative was to film dialogue separately and add it over the forest scene, however, this turned out too difficult to get accurate with the actresses body language and actions.

Completed film: The disappearance of Holly and Jessica.

Music choices. 17/2/11.

    After creating and completing editing my film at home on Windows Movie Maker, I decided which shots of the film I wanted to have music over. Other than the shots with dialogue in (newsman outside school and the interview between Huntley and policeman) the rest have been left silent. I then decided to create two tracks. One to use when the girls are leaving the house and walking around their neighbourhood at the beginning, and possibly over the actual title at the end, and one to use during the bathroom scene to attempt to make it more scary. 

Track created for bathroom scene.

  

Track created for shots of girls walking and titles.

Once i had created both tracks wanted on the programme GarageBand and transferred them onto a CD to put onto my film on Windows Movie Maker, I decided that the shaker in the background of both songs made them too jovial. To overcome this, I cut the two tracks up separately and combined parts from both to make two new, more appropriate tracks to fit our story and it's genre.

Final location shots for film. 14/2/11.

First shot in sequence filmed here, shown coming out of a gate - match on action shot from girls walking out of house, to out of outside gate on the left hand side here.

Last shot in sequence of girls walking filmed here with two actresses walking (skipping) towards camera.



Match on action shot filmed here, second shot in sequence of girls walking. Enter from the right - match on action shot from the last of them walking out of their outside gate.



Interview scene between policeman and Huntley filmed here instead of the original highstreet plan, to make a more realistic neighbourhood feel.

Bathroom used for the scene of Huntley murdering the two girls.

Table used for filming the newspaper scene. However, had to put a tablecloth on as can be seen in the photo, you could see my reflection in the table whilst filming.

Forest used for the last scene in the film of actresses dog  finding the two girls bodies.

Third shot - "on scene" location for the newsman shot.

Animatic. 7/12/10.

This is my animatic for the film I'm going to create. The animatic shows each scene on my storyboard, with explanation.

  

Risk Assessment. 6/12/10

   Before beginning filming we had to think of any risks we may come across in filming our scenes, and how to overcome them. These are the points we came up with:

•    In the forest scene, the person acting may scream because they're acting out a reaction to seeing two young girls dead bodies. Because of this, it would be sensible to film in a less busy part of a forest so as not to worry any passersby.
•   The preparation for the scene of the policeman finding the girls clothing in a bin could be extremely dangerous, as their tops are meant to be burnt. To make sure nobody is harmed in the burning of the tops, we should make sure there's a fire extinguisher nearby or a bucket of water if the first is not available. Also we must make sure to keep any flammable materials away, and make sure the conditions are generally controlled.
•   Before filming the bathroom scene, we should check to make sure there are no wet surfaces as this could be dangerous for the actors moving around the room. To make sure no injuries happen by actors slipping over we should make sure everything is completely dry in the room.
•    The shot of the girls walking along the street, in a CCTV style shot could be difficult to film as we have to find a high point to film from. If we found a tree or fence nearby to climb and film from, we would have to take precautions with the camera, making sure it's somehow strapped to the body of the person climbing so it doesn't get damaged by being dropped etc.
