Final Production

Here is our final video, woooooooooooooo enjoy!

Organisation: Title

We have decided to use the title 'Buried Secrets' for our sequence as it fits in quite well. I have used Adobe Premiere Pro to make the titles look effective. I have managed to make each letter of the title glow as the timer goes over it which we will be using for our final sequence.

Production:Editing

Today we have successfully uploaded every clip from my camera and are now in the process of editing. We have cut some bits out to make the sequence shorter but are having a few continuity issues which we are fixing.

Production: Filming

While we were filming on Wednesday, we decided to change our opening slightly. We took off the letter bit at the beginning, as some viewers of our animatic said it was confusing and also because we were worried that it was going over 2 minutes long. At the end we took out the bit of her falling over and replaced it with zooming shot on a smoking cigarette, this was to save the girl falling over and hurting herself because after clearer observation we saw that the quarry floor was not safe to fall on. And plus it was raining, and she would get soaked.

Planning: Outtakes

Risk Assessment 12th January 2011

Martley Quarry - Shots 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32


Making sure that road signs are out to inform traffic of what is taking place.

Making sure that props are used in the right manner (spade).

Make sure that camera box is left in the car to prevent cast falling over when filming.

Make sure that we have our fluorescent jackets are warn as filming at dusk.

Making sure that cast take care when driving and pulling on to the side of the road.


Make sure cast take care when climbing the gate.

Looking at the time scale we have left it is going to be important that we meet the dead lines that we have set.

After looking at the calendar we are in the last week of us filming so we need to make sure that we begin the editing process by Friday.

Production: Editing

Today we have just finished editing shots 13-19 that we filmed on Wednesday. Premiere was behaving today, so we was able to do this quite quickly, after trying to do it Friday, and it wouldn't work properly as computers kept crashing. 

Production Filming: Update

Here are different photos of us in the filming of our opening sequence.

From this we where clearly able to see how long this process is going to take, as it took us over 2 and a half hours to film only 6 shots. It is important that we make sure that we keep to all out set times as we are starting to become worried about the amount of time we have left to finish off out filming.

Planning: Filming

What shots are we filming?

Tomorrow we will be filming shots are shots 13 to 19 we have arranged to meet at the location around 2.30 pm to set up and begin filming. We have organised one of the crew (Colette) to bring along a spade, and I have brought along the music box and torch. Also the car that we will be using in the filming is mine which I will be using to get to the location.


Here is our risk assessment

Planning: Filming

Today in our media lesson we are going to start filming. The shots we are going to concentrate on today are all the shots but shot 2 as we wanted to get the location ones done first. However, if we do not manage to get all of the location shots done by today due by it getting dark early we will have to break up the shots and do them on separate days.

Planning: Titles

We have thought of possible title names for our sequence which we think relate to our genre of Thriller fairly well -
'Buried Secrets'
'Dead Eye'

We still have to settle with a title and are currently still thinking as these are just ideas.

Planning: Photo Storyboard

We created a photo story board to demonstrate what our sequence would look like. Although both of our animatic and photo story board are only a few seconds long so we are aiming to have a full 2 minutes on our actual sequence.
