Update

On Friday 4th March, our group found out that our protagonist (member of our group) was ill. She did not attend school on the following week and eventually we were told that she was suffering from Glandular Fever; a highly contagious illness. This put us at a disadvantage as the only alternative was to begin filming with a new character. This had also jeopardized our timing and meant we had to start our filming from scratch, as she as not well enough to come to film. On Wednesday 9th March our group selected a new protagonist and began filming our extract. Our next day of filming was on Tuesday 15th March. We started filming at a secluded gated area near West Hatch High School, and then moved to another destination to film the rest of the scene; Repton Park. Our group finds it difficult to arrange a time due to regular disruptions and clashes in each individuals schedule. The next date for our filming is on Thursday 17th March.

Update

It was difficult for our group to begin filming due to regular disruptions of the dates we had planned. Finally on March 1st 2011, after lessons of storyboarding and brainstorm ideas, our group decided to go to Repton Park. This is the location we had chosen for the setting of our horror/thriller extract. We were able to find a secluded area that was ideal which had abandoned trees and crunchy dead leaves scattered across the earth.


As a group, we managed to start filming the protagonist through various shots; aerial shot, over the shoulder shot, low angle shot and pan. This creates interest and variety, which we intend to keep the audience interested in out clip.


My role was the Personal Assistant, so I either agreed with the suggestions made, or tried to improve the ideas. I helped the protagonist to know when we were beginning to film by hand movements. I also suggested idea to the protagonist such as facial expressions or the pace of her walk to advance the shots.


As a group we were planning to continue our filming on March 2nd 2011, however this will be delayed, as a member of our group is absent.
