Evaluation Question 7









Evaluation Question 6




Evaluation Question 5

Evaluation Question 4

For this question, we have decided to take a creative approach, rather than do something boring for our audience profile, like just listing the obvious things such as gender, age, hobbies, occupation etc. So, we will be filming and editing 2 short films consisting of a 19 year old male, and a 23 year old female, and their 'daily routines' as well as possibly a short interview with them.




















Evaluation Question 3

Director's commentary voice over

Evaluation Question 2

This question will be presented as 2 powerpoint presentations stating each similarity and difference between our characters from our film, and the characters from the other films which influenced us. They will be made into videos with our films soundtrack behind them to make them seem more thriller like.





















On this question, we both decided the similarities and differences together for both the male and female characters. Rebecca created the presentation clip for the male and Bethany created the presentation clip for the female.

Foley

We have now been out and recorded all of our needed foley, and where necessary have downloaded free sound effects from the internet which work and sound brilliantly.

Group Rough Cut

After we both completed our individual rough cuts, we have now decided on one of them to continue editing to the final stage as our group rough cut. We have been finishing the editing process by changing the brightness and contrast, and also using Colour Correction Three-Way. This can be shown in the following picture:


After using these techniques, our film looked very professional and had a more expensive look about it. Our editing is now complete and our titles and effects can be added to our footage.

Who did what?

Whilst we shot our film, we both equally contributed to the filming itself, and there is proof of this in the film as we both in fact act in it and play different characters. This ended up working extremely well and we could definitely rely on each other.
Both of us took part in every one of the shoots, as we found times to suit the both of us as well as our extra actor. This means that the both of us took the roles of directing whilst the other was acting in the film.

During the editing process, we have began to create two separate rough cuts of our film to see how differently we approach the editing software, and then once they are both finished we will evaluate the good and bad points of each one and then decide which one to develop further into our final opening sequence.

For sound and foley, we will again be working solidly in a partnership. We will find a time where we are both available to create the soundtrack together, and then also the foley sounds. We will be using garageband for this.

Photos Taken On Set In London

Choosing our location to shoot. We thought that this was a good chosen location as you could see the bridge, Big Ben and the city buildings behind. We felt that the lighting looked professional in this position too. 

A view from our chosen location. 

Beth filming. 

It started raining on our shoot causing us to put the rain coat on the camera, ensuring the camera was safe. 

In the tunnel, we were testing out our location in which to film a few shots.

Shot List

This is our shot list, and it will help us when we come to film our opening sequence. The shots here are in order of which they will be filmed, starting with the London location, and then Bexleyheath. It will help us to remember which shot goes where, especially when we aren't filming the whole thing in one whole go, as there are different parts set at different places.

Weather Check

This is the weather forecast for the next week in Bexleyheath. We are focused on the days Thursday 12th and Saturday 14th as these either of these days we will be shooting here. It should not be too much of a problem if the weather is bad as we will be inside.









This is the weather forecast for the next week in London. We will be shooting here on Tuesday 10th, and therefore the weather shouldn't be a problem.

Storyboard


This is our storyboard for our film 'The Hunt'. There are 19 shots, and there is at least 1 close up within every 3. By doing this it will help us when filming so that we are aware of the shot types and the angles for every shot, and makes it clearer to understand the whole scene. 

Titles Map












This is the titles map for our film 'The Hunt'. It is the order in which the shots will appear on screen, starting with the first 10 titles which consist of the directors etc. The last one within this beginning sequence of 10 is the actual title of the film. After this is seen, the film starts and the shots of the film appear. It is very intriguing and lasts just over 2 minutes, throughout this opening sequence the killer's face is not revealed, creating a kind of suspense as to not knowing who it is or what the person looks like, until the end where the audience will see just the eyes. This may want to make them want to know who it is even more, and possibly the only thing revealed is whether they are male or female.
This here is the list of shots in which they appear, it is the same shots as what are on the titles map, however easier to read and in slight more detail.
