From creating our preliminary task, this allowed us to learn that we needed to plan out our film opening in order for it to flow in the way we wanted to with no missing parts and bits that didnt link in or make sense to the story as it was improvised.
We decided on the genre of film that we were going to create and this allowed us to discuss ideas of locations, props and mis en scene.
Deciding on the genre first meant that we were able to find suitable locations for our opening. The research we did into films of similar genres showed that we would need to find locations with an eerie atmosphere. We chose Castlefield in Manchester as the location for the attack scene. Because of the location that we were using, we had to film during the day and therefore, the effects of darkness and the haziness to show memory had to be done during editing.
The location that we chose was quite a distance from our college and meant that we would not be able to complete the filming in lesson times as there was not enough time for travelling and then getting the work done. This meant that we had to organise a time that was suitable for the group to meet at the location so that filming could take place. This required a lot of communication between the four members.
Our preliminary task and main task has aspects of similarity and dfference. Both had the mood of anger involved. The preliminary task, from all three characters and the main task, from the character conducting the investigation.
Both tasks used a non-diagetic backing track underneath the dialogue. These sound tracks were created by using software called Logic Pro 9. This allowed up to make and mix different sounds together to match the mood and atmosphere of our film.
