Selecting a Font

We had planned to use the font 'mostly mono' from the  website www.1001fonts.com but we couldn't get it so we were advised to use the fonts available on the computer system.

Footages Assembled

We completed assembling all our footages done on 09/02/15. this took us approximately two hours to do so and were faced with little difficulties which included figuring out exactly where on our timeline that the titles were going to go. Our initial plan of where the titles were going to go in was changed due to previous filming errors which mentioned in a previous blog.

I feel that the people whom invest ,money into the film are those that go first. Normally the most famous actor is put at the start of all the cast this occurs due to a negotiation within agents.

Editor


One of the roles in which I will be doing is the role of the editor. As an Editor you have a huge role because , poor editing can really harm the quality of your film production. I believe that the role of editing should be taken with great care and control as you could say that editing is the icing on the cake.

Famous Editors Quotes


“Art, it seems to me, should simplify finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole -- so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader's consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page”.

Willa Cather



"Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls." Ingmar Bergman

 

Research into BBFC classification guidelines – how will this influence your production?

The influence the BBFC classification guidelines has on our productions, is that it will make sure we are targeting the right audience as well as considering other audiences whom it is not suitable for. More importantly, In order to protect children from unsuitable and even harmful content as they are significant groups who need to be taken firstly into consideration.In in our productions, we have a child who plays as a ghost, it does not then mean its suitable for children under 12 as there blood  and and threat involved and some children may suffer from this sort of event.

However, it will help us to consider the age rating for our productions as it will helps us to make sure our taget audoence will enjoy it.Also,this independent scrutiny prior to release ensures the highest possible level of protection and empowerment.it helps us to think about issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, dangerous and easily imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, and violence when making decisions. The theme of the work is also an important consideration. They also helps us to consider context, the tone and likely impact of a work on the potential audience.

Conclusion of Our Filming Process

We completed the entire filming process on 05/02/15 and we intended to focus our remaining time on editing the footages that we filmed. We had already booked an editing suit and when editing today, we realised there was a shot that we needed to perfect, which wasn't done quite right, so we had to re-shoot it again today. Apart from that one shot, we have already completed assembling our title sequence and need to add the titles, quote and company ident.

Title Change

Initially we wanted to write the titles in the mise en scene, but we decided to add them on their own individual frame instead because we had a couple of filming errors which made it difficult to establish a sense of continuity editing, so we decided slug over our mistakes where we could hide our mistakes with the titles just like what we intend to do with the quote.

 

Music Ideas

When selecting a music to use for our title sequence, we decided to use a very slow music to build tension and suspense. After looking online for suitable music, we narrowed the list down to 3 which are: 1. Hiding in the Dark 2. Lullaby of Sorrow 3.Facing the Fear

Cast Problems

On our third filming day which was 02/02/15, Linsey (LOLA) was ill, so we had to finish shooting all of Farah's (RACHEL) shots without her since we were running out of time, we couldn't afford to waste anymore time. We arranged to had 3 more Shots left to do, therefore we decided to do another filming day on the 05/02/15 where we could finally complete our filming process.

The Track

On the 29/01/15, we filmed a fair amount of footages with both our actors, and took out the track to film with. it was very easy to do a tracking shot with them, but due to the length provided, we could only track a limited distance with it.

"No..No.. It Can't be"

The lighting quality was poor

Lighting Difficulties

We encountered some filming problems on 26/01/15 such as poor lighting used on the first day of filming, where most our footages were very dark which led to some aspects of our shots being neutralised as we couldn't see them well enough to fulfil its purpose, therefore we needed to extend our filming days.

BBFC Classifications Guidelines

According to the British Board of Film Classifications,  "It is important that the BBFC’s classification standards are in line with what the public expects and that its decisions take account of what the public finds acceptable at each age category."
Most horror movies are rated '15' and 18, because they contain sexual scenes and violence (and gore).

the BBFC's classification guidelines would highly influence our production, and since we intend to make our movie accessible to as many people as possible legally, we will produce a '15' rated movie. This is because the themes of our movie wouldn't be entirely focus on violence and sex. There would only be a strong sense of threat and horror. Drugs and discrimination are not themes that we intend to use, that's why we believe that our movie should be classified as a '15' rated movie.

Setting Plans

We aim to mostly focus filming in the corridors of our college campus. Since we would be establishing the occupation of our protagonist by originally placing her in a classroom. that's why we plan to do a few shots in the corridors, because something about a long narrow enclosed space, like a corridor brings fear into the audience's mind as there is a limited amount of places that you can run or hide to and there is usually only one way out. This is why we believe that if we utilise good lighting, we would be able to turn the plain old boring Harrow college into something terrifying.
