On (14/11/13), we went out during our lunchtime and our free period to film the beginning of our thriller film opening! Due to Amy not being available during this allocated time, we decided to use one of our friends to play her role in the beginning of the film opening (Amy was fine with this). When we arrived at our location, we began filming. In order for us t get a variety and a wide variation of shots, we filmed each sequence in various different camera angles and shots so that when it came to the editing stage, we had different versions of each clip and sequence and we could then choose which one fitted in well with other shots. In addition, in these varied shots, I also changed the way my costume looked so that in the editing stage, we could also choose which costume looked the best. It wasn't a dramatic costume change, just simple things like: having my hood up and then having my hood down, two hands on the gun and then one hand on the gun etc.
In our media lesson the day after, because we haven't been fully taught how to use Final Cut yet, we decided to edit a draft version in iMovie just to get a rough idea of how it was going to look/possibly look. At first, we had a look of all the different shots and camera angles we got and tried to piece them together to see which ones fitted well with others. This took us some time to get a smooth and fluid pace because some of the shots were more fast paced whereas some were much more slower. In the end, we finally chose which ones fitted in well and then completed our draft. Because this is only a rough draft of how it is going to look/possibly look (due to it being made in iMovie and not Final Cut), there may be some more changes and alterations in the actual initial editing stage. In addition, we are considering returning to the filming location and getting a few more shots.
Our draft copy of the beginning of our thriller film opening can be found below. Enjoy!
