Film Diary
Monday 18th January 2010 day 1
Today we did the shots of Mr Jones getting out of the car, Katie at the school gate, the following down the alley and Katie writing down the names in the classroom then scribbling them out.
We used a certain desk so whenever we do classroom shots we need to make sure we use the same desk for continuity.
We might redo the alley shot because it went wrong but we might try and just edit it instead.
Tuesday 19th January 2010; day 2.
Today, we organised the photographs and objects that we will use for “The Wall”. Tomorrow, we will use these and put them on the wall at Hazel’s. Sophie and Jo also added the footage into Adobe Premier Elements and started to edit and putting the film together.
Wednesday 20th January 2010 day 3
Today we went to Hazel’s house to film the scenes with Katie. We blocked the window with a blue sheet which gave the room a dingy feel and the walls were light and there was only a grey mattress in the room making it look like a prison cell, which we aimed for to make Katie look neglected.
First we thought if we did a shot with the scream in it we could cut out the video on adobe and just use the sound of the scream, we
did that first and the scream sounded good but then we thought we might as well do the scream and the shot together which also looked good, so we are going to use the video and scream that was filmed in the same shot. The rest of the scene with Katie went really well and Jenni was brilliant, she played Katie exactly how we wanted Katie to be.
We then did the final scene with the fake blood which looked really good, when watching the shot back we saw that the way Katie was holding the knife could be interpreted in two ways; she could be self-harming or she could just be holding the bloody knife.
Thursday 21st January 2010 day 3
Today we filmed at lunch, we did the shot where Mr Jones gives Katie her work, this shot went well and we got a few shots so that we can choose best, we also did the star pupils faces which was fine apart from one of the actors was not wearing a completely white shirt so we will do that shot again tomorrow.
Friday 22nd January 2010 day 4
Today we were at Hazel’s house we did the scenes with Mr Jones and his friend which we got after a few shots and we also did the scenes where Mr Jones walks into the house and then later when it was darker we did him coming out of the house. We literally just ran out of battery so it was good that we got all the shots.
Filming went well overall and we got reasonably good shots even though we didn’t stick to the script on the Mr Jones and friend scene.
Tuesday 2nd February 2010
After agreeing that we were going to do the Mr Jones and friend scene again as the first shot had bad lighting making the footage a poor quality, Jo and Sophie went to a small room in the school where there is a kitchen and filmed the scene again there. This shot looked much brighter and better than the other shots, we then uploaded it onto adobe and edited the film a little more.
