risk assesment.

There was a few risks were our location was. There was alot of litter and tripping hazzards as there are factorys around the location and there were large metal paint cans and old pipes laying around so they could easily be tripped over. Therefore we had to watch were we were walking as we didn't want no injurys.

Another risk was that we were on abandoned train tracks. These were also tripping hazzards more than the ones above as they are alot larger and easyer to fall over and would cause more damage like broken ankles and hands or arms if you had tripped over them.

Another risk was that there was alot of slippy mud around so we could of easily slipped. I slipped and landed on my bum but if i had fell wierd it may have done some damage.

All of these risks there was not that much you could do to prevent them as there there at the location. You mainly just had to concentrate on what you were doing and where you were stepping and moving.

Luckly for our team  while we were there at our location there were no injurys while filming and we all got back to school safe and injury free.

props we used

 

 

We uses a bandage as a prop in the making of this film opening it was to show that i was wonded. In our film opening it shows tom putting on a bandage on my led to help my injury, we filmed tom putting this one on me.

 

We used a basic bottle of water as a prop in our title sequence. This is because it is post apocalyptic it needs to be realistic, tom had a single bottle of water to represent his supplys and how they were begining to get low. Tom uses this bottle of water in the title sequence to obviously have a drink and also to share it with me.

 

We also used a large rucksack in our title sequence to set the scene and it is obviously one key thing to the whole survival theme. Tom kept all of his suplys in there, he wore it most of the way through our title sequence.

We also used a survival bag in our title sequence. we thought it would be a good prop for Tom to use. Tom used it to lay on at the start of our title sequence. It was a good think to used to show how server the conditions this flood had left everyone in. Also as the bag is a 'survival bag' it represents him as a survivor.

 

We also used 3 cans of tomarto soup in our title sequence to show his supplys. These appear at the start of our title sequence.

Tom also used a thick stick in the title sequence. He desided during filming that this stick would be useful to get plants and things out of this way. This is used all the way through the whole title sequence till the end where he meets me. Then he leaves it behind.

Filming Today

We did our filming today, it went really well to be honest we got everything done that we needed to do completely done. before looking it on the computers tomorrow i think we have done everything right. We stayed focus, we had fun with it  at times and had a good laugh but for our group it was good. Filming went alot better than i tought it would have done as we tend to get abit side tracked. We managed to get alot of camera angles in there that i think will pick up some marks as we tryed to put in as many as we could think of plus using all of the camera angles we had put in our anamatic and our storyboard.

I think we picked a good location to film as we had picked a different location on a road near a bridge. However in the end i think the location that we filmed in in the end was alot better and fit more in with our genre and looks alot better with less hazards (like cars) in the way witch may also have caused us to pause filming from time to time. So this location was also less time consuming with these factors.

Toms acting went great in my opinion as he kept finding it hard to keep a streight face and not laugh bu in the end he kept his concentration and we got it all done.

Luckly for me i didn't have a great part in the filming as i also find it hard to keep a streight face and not laugh from time to time. However as i wasnt in it much i managed to keep my cool and get on with it.

We are very happy and satisfied that we have got it done so we can now get on with the editin side of the project. Hopefully this will go acording to plan and our final film title sequence will be at a good standard and will look good.

new weather forcast for tuesday 26th of november.

The weather for tomorrow when we are filming ive had to do this twice as our days have changed. the weather looks good for filming tomorrow and i dont think there will be any problems with it when we go out to film.

Sound

I dont know what sound we are using in our film (like background music). We are going to do that after we have done our film opening. we will deffenetly do that research after! We will deside as a group. I have already done some research into post apocalyptic music, by doing this i have found some tracks i particually like. However as it is a group desision in what track we use, we will have to look into a larger variaty of backing trackes to have everyone satisfied.

In terms of sound in our film opening with our script. we will be using a zoom mic as this will pic up our sound alot more clear than just using the mic on the camera. This being at a higher quality is exactly what we need to make a good film opening. Also because the camera picks up sound it will make it easyer for us to edit our sound from the zoom mic to our film in perfect time.

As a team me have desided not to use the old radio in our film opening, this was one of our ideas at the start of the project. We didm't think this was a good idea in the end for a few reasons. One is that it was many other groups ideas too and we did not want anything simular to what other groups had. Another reason is that we thought with a backing track and a script in it it mite be abit over loaded and harder to make it sound really good.

Match on action examples

This is a few examples of match on action shots that has gave me insperation in my film opening simple things done to create a match on action effect. however they did do a few match on actions they could of used alot more camera angles to create a depth of understanding in there work and make it more visually interestiing.

This inspiered me as it shows how you can show a lot of match on actions in a simple way. we are going to use alot of simple match on action in our film opening as its easy to do, however we are going to add alot more camera angles in.

inteview for feedback

interviews for our audience feedback. This is what we are basing our improvements on and were going to see if our film opening is sutable for our audience and if they would actually watch it.

The weather.

 

This is the weather forcast for our filming on thursday. We have desided thursday as that was the date we have set for filming as on thursday we are all free. it is good that it is partly cloudy on thursday as we need it to be slightly gloomy to match with our genre of film opening.
We are planning on filming around 4 pm however it may start to get dark, this may be a problem due to lighting problems.

Idealy looking at the chart above we should be filming around 3-6 ish whitch is could for us as we will be filming around 4pm. I know this because the visibility is good there and also the wind speed, we dont want it to be to windy for filming as it may make it difficult to shoot certain clips.

our anamatic

This is our anamatic. This shows how our shots are going to run, its kind of like our story board but it gives us a much clearer image on how things are going to run in our film opening. this is move visually apealing in my opinion as you can clearly star to build up the story in your head and its simple and easy to watch.
