Editing So Far

As i have got enough footage to work with , i am now editing using Imovie which i have never used before. At first i started just playing around with the features such as; transitions - adding fade outs, fade ins etc, Sounds - adding heart beats and squeeky doors. After i got use to using the software , i uploaded the scences that we filmed and started putting them together. Even though we filmed as a group , we had to edit the film individually so just incase any ideas that you shared wasn't able to be taken into account, you had the chance to put it in your own edited thriller opening.
Firstly, i started to put clips in and just worked on lowering the sound so that you couldnt hear the other noises such as unecesssary car noises and dialouge. Secondly , as i have stated before i did not feel my group and i used much contiuity editing , so i spent a while on adding transistions to make the opening flow nicely and fluently. I found this a bit annoying due the fact that it tended to make the opeing film look drivel.

Thriller Opening Scence Part 2

After we Filmed the kidnapping part, we then had to film where the photographer (ME) and the Victim ( Emma) had to meet up. For this ppart, we went outside of school and filmed down an isolated alleyway. This is aslo Realistic due to the fact that it is normally alleyways whre people meet to do business etc. As i look back at this shot, i dont thin we used continuity editing properly as i think that the film does not flow properly and alot of transistion are going to be used.

Thriller OpeningShooting part 1

So Far my thriller opeing is going quite well. My group and i have started filiming the bit where the girl ( emma ) is kidnapped and tied up. For this shooting we needed to get props such as; ropes , Ducktape ( to cover her mouth up) and a hang cuffs. We filmed this in a dark room so it looked quite realistic and spooky which is the effect we wanted to have. This recording is the scence which has the audience thinking ' Oh My Gosh , Who Done This? Why ? How ?

Filming

Today we started filming for the first time , it was quite exciting to finally put our ideas of the storyboard into action with the camera. Due to not having the right equitment for our thriller, we started filming from the end of the thriller to the beggining which was quite challenging but we are getting through it quite well. We started filming the Scene where the girl is held hostage and Emma was tied up in ropes and had her mouth taped up which looked really believable.
The 'task is going well soo far.

The Props , The Location , The Costumes/Dress Code

Props...

When thinking about what props to use we thought very carefully in terms of how we could do shots with props we wanted to use and how we could use them to draw the viewers attention in. we also thought about the sort of things that are appropriate and could work with what we wanted to do and clues we could give the viewers without given away to much information.

Photos

Necklace

Rope

Costumes...
When talking about the sort of costumes we want to put our characters into we thought about the professional look and the sort of clothes people would expect to see a photographer in and also the sort of clothes you would normally see a teenage girl in.

We came up with:

Man: Casually Dressed, Black trousers,, Black Jacket, Casual Black Shoes.

Girl: (when she meets him) Cardigan, Brown Tights and Ugg Boots .

Locations..
When we discussed where we wanted to film our shots we decided it will be more exciting to film it around an old run down garage dinstead of a posh studio where you would expect it. By having a location like this will make the audience ask more questions and feel uneasy. We also planned to film down an alley where the two characters meet, as it is an unusual place to meet someone for the very first time.
