Update -11/2/10

On Monday 8th February we used the last two lessons to do our filming. As our media lessons were cancelled we got permission to film in last two lessons. We started filming at about 12.00 and finshed at about 4.00. We filmed in Clavering at Max's house until 2.15 and then we moved onto film in Clavering Forest.

Our filming went mostly to plan but we did alter the story boards a bit, so we will be updating these accordingly to the changes made. We have now uploaded the film onto the mac's and now we have started to edit using Final Cut Express.

In the two lessons on 12th February, we edited the storyboards and started to edit the film and put everything in the correct order and made sure that all the music fitted the action in the film.

15 certificate

We decided we wanted an age certificate in our production, but realized if we just copied one from the internet it may clash with copyright infringements. So therefore i edited it and made it our own.

Thriller Name

The name of our thriller will be 'The Follower'.

This is a name of a film but it is not very popular and it is not a well known film, so we will be able to use it.

Camera Use In Valkyrie

In the film Valkyrie, there were many different camera angles used. for example it has many long, medium and close ups. In thus clip, it shows some of the techniques and ways that they filmed Valkyrie. There were many birds eye views when looking down from the planes, as well as worms eye views when looking at the planes in the sky. There were also high and low angle shots throughout the film, when showing 'Hitler', they tended to use low angle shots to show the power he had. On the other hand, when it showed a soldier, some of the time there were high angle shots used to show that they are not as important.

Filming Plan

Monday 8th February - We are going to Clavering at four o' clock. we are planning to start filming immediately, because of the weather and the light. We are going to go straight to the forest in order to be able to film in some darkness. We thought this ould be effective as in a forest it will be dark and we are filming as if it were midnight.

Thursday 11th February - We will again go to Clavering at four o' clock in order to start filming immediately. We will do the filming in the house. We will be able to do this regardless of the weather because we are indoors. We also need to re-film anything that we may have missed out on Monday.
