Overall Result...

We have finally finished our thriller opening and overall we are pleased with the outcome. We feel that our footage and camerawork is more professional than our children's film and we feel that we have learnt a lot more about the programs we have to use such as Final Cut and Garage Band. The only thing that we are not initially happy with is our music. we feel that the music is good but we feel that children's film music fitted better with the footage. We are very pleased with the editing though as we feel we have learnt a lot more of the programs and the fades we added were very effective. We also used lots of special effects that we didn't use in the children's film such as 'bad TV'. Also we feel that our credits are a lot better this time around and they look more professional. Overall we are very pleased with it and we hope we get a good mark.

Different Locations...

After being turned down by the Grand Arcade and the Grafton we have now decided that our only option left is to film in college, we took some time out and went exploring around college grounds, we came across some interesting locations which wasn't previously aware of. We now hope to film in these locations as they have a dark sinicter feel to them and will evoke a good atmosphere for our film.

Below are some photographs we took of the locations we found in college:

Filming at the Grafton

We wanted to film at the Grande Arcade local shopping centre, but they replied to our email saying we cannot use their property to flm.
Their reply:

Good morning

Thank you for your email regarding Grand Arcade.

Unfortunately we cannot allow you to film in the Grand Arcade lifts. The reason for this being it will cause considerable disruption to our shoppers and visitors and therefore we cannot give you permission to film here.

The car park is run by Cambridge City Council and therefore in order to film there you would need to contact them in order to obtain permission.

We apologise for not being able to allow you to film in Grand Arcade but wish you the best of luck with your project.

Kind regards

As the grande arcade won't allow us, we have sent an Email to The Grafton asking if we can use their lift and car park. If this fails we will use the lift in college.

Our storyboard and Planning.

These are our storyboard to show our plans of our opening. We wrote about the camera angles, the location, the props we used, etc as this will help us so we are doing so our filming will run smoothly on the day.

We did this storyboard to help us do our filming more easily as we have something to follow along and it shows us the structure of our piece. Also, as we wrote down the camera shots it will show us what will be happening and what we have planned so we don't forget.
