Research and planning - filming schedule

Bryony- Filmer and Director.
James- Filmer and Director.
Jordan- Antagonist/ killer.
Emma- Victim




- What we are going to include in our filming schedule for our opening two minutes- 
- Soundtrack research for our opening two minutes - during lesson.
- The victim walking to the bridge (me) we use a screaming high pitch. Furthermore, the ending to the opening two minutes where the victim meets the antagonist we use a low pitch sound which creates more of a cliffhanger as we end the opening two minutes on the bit where the victim (me) turns around looking all distorted - at home.
- Edit the film to make it link to a horror genre - at home. 



- On Tuesday 5th February
- Our first day of filming. Included in this day was  filming the part where the victim (me) walking up the path from different shots which were mainly long shots. During our filming day we had the chance to play around with soundtrack ideas. We used Bryony's piano. The pitch from the piano created a spooky tense atmosphere, it adds to the effect of the opening two minutes and builds up to the end of the opening two minutes which is the bit where the victim (me) meets the antagonist. We filmed for 2 hours.

- On Sunday 10th February 
- We are going to re film the walking section of our opening two minutes quite a few times so we can choose which one is the best for our opening two minutes and we are going to film the ending of our opening two minutes where we use the pale makeup and make my face look distorted which is the most important of our horror film as that makes the audience question whats going to happen within the narrative of the film and the rest of it. It gets them questioning which is what we want to happen. We plan to start filming at around 1-2 and for about 2 hours.


- On the 12th February
-We planned to miss our last lesson to do some more filming. However, due to the snow we couldn't film as it would have been a continuity error. So we have planned to film during half term on the 20th-21st February. We are hoping to of finished the filming by then so we can focus on the soundtrack, institutions, names, titles and the editing of the film. As at the end of half term we shall be finished on the opening two minutes.

- On the 20th February
-We did some more filming and added the ending to our last two minutes which was the antagonist meeting the victim ( me ). This went better than anticipated as we got more done than we thought.

 - On Wednesday the 6th March
-We filmed the improvements which we decided to do once we got some feedback from the audience when we realised our opening two minutes definitely wasn't complete. This took us an hour to film. Then we edited the film which took us about an hour. We was happy with our end result.


- Wednesday 17th April 
- Our final opening two minutes we was pleased with. However, the feedback we got was positive but we were told that there could be some improvements. The audience said that if we included titles of the characters, directors and producers of the opening two minutes it shall look more professional and realistic and like an opening two minutes of a horror film.
- We plan to do this during our lesson as we can all do it together and choose which font and style of writing we shall choose for the titles and where we shall included them within our opening two minutes.
- This shall hopefully take one lesson. If we still have more to do we are going to do it at home and hopefully get it done as soon as we can. We want the pathway opening two minutes to look more like an opening two minutes film which is a horror genre.
