Filming:

Whilst we filmed our sequence we had to assign different roles to different people in our group. As we only had one character being shown on the screen at one time it was easier for us as a group to share the roles. We all had a go at filming and assisting the 'director' and 2 of us played the characters. 


At the beginning of our shooting we were meant to have a friend from outside of our group to be the psychopath character, however, after we were let down twice by this person, we decided that it would be best if we were to just have one of the three member of our group play this part. We found this much more effective and helpful to us as we did not have to revolve our filming time around a person outside of the group and therefore could film whenever we wanted without this worry. 


we are pleased that we made this decision as we could therefore be more specific about what we wanted our character to do as we all had the same mindset in our group.

Showcase:

Yesterday (29/3) we had our opening sequence showcase to the rest of our class. We finished our editing yesterday morning by adding music to our sequence and cleaning up some of our edits. The track we used on our final piece was called 'Abandoned' and we really really love how the track fits so well with the genre of the film. It builds up in the right places and we believe it helps to tell the story. We were really nervous as to how our final piece would turn out but the reception it got from our teacher and the class was extremely positive. We got some very good feedback as well as a few pieces of constructive criticism on our film. We were very pleased with the outcome however there are still a few things that need to be changed, but we are very happy with the work we have done.

Music:

We have been using the website www.freeplaymusic.com which is contains copyright free music which we can use as background music on our film. We aim to find a suitable piece of music which will add a spooky feel to the film as well as help to create suspicion. Also, we would specifically like a piece of music which builds up to a climax as the film progresses.

Editing:

Our film is still going through the editing process and we are currently adding credits and music to our opening sequence. We have almost finished making and adding our credits, and are progressing quickly. We plan to have our music added within the next few lessons and are very pleased with how it looks so far.

Editing:

We completed our filming and we are now editing our film. We have mainly finished our editing but still need to add opening credits as well as the name of our production company and the music to our film. We are showing our film to our class next week to get feedback so that we can make any small last minute changes to it.

Filming:

This week we finished the filming of Sleeper. We have uploaded all of our cuts onto Final Cut and are currently in the process of editing and completing our opening.
Here is a picture of Group M:

Filming:

We had planned to film the remaining part of our film on 5th March, however, we were not able to borrow the appropriate equipment that we required for the filming and therefore were unable to film. We have therefore scheduled to finish the filming this Thursday (10th March) where we must complete it.


We have edited the film so far, however we will have to change this due to us changing some of the beginning part of our film. As a group we decided that in order to make our film more exciting and suspicious that we will add a scene in at the beginning of the film which will then develop slightly more as the film goes on. We decided to add a scene in which a text message is received on the phone of the man and a car then pulls up to hand him a package, which will lead the audience in suspense as to what is in the package.
