Research proof

 We wanted an idea for our film, so we decided to look at a simular film 28 weeks later. In this film it had eerie quite and deserted scenes which a what we wanted in our film. The film had lots of scenes of empty cities that  are usually packed full of people. we know that we do not have the athority to kick out people from towns and cities, and we don't have the technology, money or recourses to make the scene so we will use streets schools and parks which are usally full of people. 

Locations

When looking at the film ‘28 Weeks Later’ for our research, I noticed that most of the scenes were local places such as streets, hospitals, parks, and shops.

So for our beginning of the film we have created we have decided to use lots of local places, during the day. We will be using empty parks, parks are usually filled with children every where, on other hand we don’t want our park to be like that we want it empty, this helps to show that the world is empty. Also the parks being empty make the audience think, it also makes our audience uncomfortable. As well as parks we will use dark ally ways, schools, and to really make the audience uncomfortable we will show a shot of an empty baby’s room. An empty baby’s room upset the audience, however, it also makes our audience carry on watching it to see if they can find out what happened to every one.

I think that having empty locations is important as it helps to show that every one has disappeared. How ever the world isn’t left in one big mess so that the audience knows that everyone didn’t disappear in a hurry. 

      

To day 16 November

Today we film our beginning of our movie. We decided to find a small road, with a dead end and film, we wanted to use the dead end as it would be more safe for nancy to lay on the road while we filmed.
Today we filmed Nancy walking around deserted places, on her own. We didn't seem to have any problems today, However we did take lots of shots as Nancy could not stop laughing or smiling, as well as that we took more incase of any problems.

Difficulties When Filming

Some of the difficulties we have when filming was the weather, most times that we filmed it was raining or it was too sunny. so we had to wait for the rain to stop, or the sun to go away. This delayed our filming time quite alot.

Another diffculty we had was with the technology, when we held the camara we kept shaking it. So to fix this we have decided to use a camara stand.

Representing My Social Group

For my video my group and i have decided to do a working class teenage girl. To show this we have researched high street shops to find out what the aveage working class teenage girl would where. legings was the most used, and bought by teenage girls. Aswell as the wooly knitted cardigans.

Today

In todays lesson we looked at what we have recorded so far. In the other lesson we recorded our actress (Nancy) walking into and through a forest. We also filmed some deserted place's such as an empty school. Having empty places that have been deserted, helps the story of a extic world, come alive. When Nancy walked through the and into the forest we decided to do a match on action.

In todays lesson we filmed more empty shots, of school classrooms, and a clock. The clock we decided is going to be a clue for the rest of the film. Also in todays lesson we edited what we have filmed sofar,making sure that no clip was to long or to short.

Animatics

An animatic is a animated clip, or movie, made usally from pictures. Most animatics move very little, it's usally just a slight movement of one part of the clip. The would very rarly move like an original movie or film clip.

Our animatic was illustrated by me. However, the storyline was created by all of the group. The clip is about a girl who is left in world on her own not knowing what happened to every one. In the animatic story bored the girl is on her own, to show this I drew lots of pictures of deserted places, such as parks, houses schools and forests. This brings the  effect that she is alone. When we loaded the film we noticed that it was blury, however, that was not our fault and there is nothing we can do about as it is the technology.
