On Friday Morning, we got into our groups of four and started to discuss some narrative ideas. My group members are Abbie Jones, Danielle Evans and Jamie Hyett. After some major discussion, we have decided to make a short title sequence, of a woman dressed entirely in red, the camera will only show her lips which will be coloured a deep red to keep to the colour scheme and to add mystery. The sequence will start with the woman in red smoking a cigerette with flash backs of a vicious murder and a washing of a bloody knife, this idea of course we have gained from watching the shower scene of pyscho. We decided all of these flashbacks will be in black and white tone, to again add a somewhat feeling of mystery to our opening, with music playing over the top of these clips, maybe using chromatic notes and all in a minor chord. Once the woman has put out her cigerette, she will then make her way down the hall, step over the body and dial on an old style telephone "999", the operator will repeat "hello? can you hear me" until the woman in red whispers "i just killed my boyfriend" and then hangs up the phone, leaving the screen black, with the sound of the dial tone and the woman giggling softly.

We believe this would be a very spooky and intresting title sequence to film and we are very excited to start filming our project.

Media Workshop

As our Media Workshop was cancelled last week (due to fire alarm interuptions) we had our re-arranged Media Workshop on Friday 2nd October.
We worked on our continuity exercise, where we had to have two characters, one walking through a door and then communicating with other person while trying to include as many different camera shots as possible without making it looking unrealistic.
I was in a team with Jamie Hyett and Richard Parrish, I feel we worked well as a group as we worked to our strengths and helped others with their weaknesses, and took onboard all advice and information given by Mrs Slater, and the helpers who ran the workshop.
Our group, unfortunatly, had accidentally taped over our establishing shop by pressing record accidentally in class. Jamie, Richard and I were very dissapointed as we felt we had a really good range of shots and had edited most of our clips already. We did this editing using the software 'imovie' on the Apple Macs which helped us cut out parts of our film that we didn't need and shorten clips that were too long to keep our audience intrested.
Due to our accident loosing our establishing shot, our team will be spending some free time, re-filming our work to make sure we have efficient clips and a wide range of camera shots to assure we get reviews and feedback for our work.
