Our group storyboard-part 2

Planning of film

We have planned to start filming our opening sequence this weekend, and we aim to get the whole of the filming done so we can start the editing next week. We have decided what costumes we are going to wear, and we are going to be shooting our opening sequence at my house. He have chosen to use the bedroom where is has a mirror. The garage to make the atmosphere look scary and the living room back doors for walking in and out. Also we are going to need to go to the train station which is 10 minutes away from my house so this wouldn't put us out too much.
We have discussions about our plans for the weekend which will be Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of January. Also what times we will meet up and traveling etc. 

Started Editing

Today we started to edit what we shot on Sunday and Monday. I was cutting up the film on Final Cut and making sure I did every shot. As a group we watched through the footage we have taken and realised that we must of recorded over a shot that we took. 
The shot that we recorded over was of Efosa walking close to the camera and also a worms eye view of his feet. So we decided that Efosa would record this himself as we have no other time to meet up and to change anything. 

Also after the editing on Sunday and Monday night I feel that I played my part very well in recording the shots at the station for the beginning of our opening sequence and also acting as a kidnapped girl in our opening.

Plans for next lesson

We plan to carry on cut our film and editing the different shots together. Researching opening sequence before helped us and me a lot and gave us idea's in what we should include into ours. Because of this I think we are going to create a very powerful and frightening opening.

Updates on Final cut editing

This week Jess got all the shots onto final cut in the right order so that it is ready to edit and put in different transformations. As I am not familiar with the software Final Cut and Efosa is, we have decided to make him the main editor but now and again I give in my input and say what we can make better to look more effective. But up till now it is going very well.

Sound effects/sound for film

Sounds
Jess has started to create the music for our opening film. She thought would be a good idea to use a Jewellery box noise and make it creepy and sound more scary because she is sitting at a dressing table.
It has taken me a lesson to create the sound and it lasts for 7 seconds which is quite short but we are going to make it echo out so we can use another sound after.

Lesson updates

In today's double lesson Efosa is carrying on editing our Opening Sequence while I have been working on the sound for some of the shots in the film.
Our editing of the film is coming to the end but we need to add sound and titles still. So that's why I have been trying to create the sound so we can put it all together.
Meanwhile Chloe has been focusing on planning the meetings and creating meeting logs to we are update to date which all our work.
