Props and Costumes

Through research made by Tara, here are some images found off of the internet to try and give an idea to what props and costumes we are going to use.

They are not the exact ones, but we hope to find similar objects/costumes that we will be able to use.

This is a possible dress for the victim/dead girl to wear.

This is the possible eye make-up effect that we would llike to use on the victim.

This is the type of gothic frame we would like, which will lead into the past flash-backs in our thriller.

This is one example of the jewellery we would like the victim to also wear.

More research is needed.

Preparation

This week, me and Tara filled out our own schedules, including Grace's, to
try and see when we are all free to film our thriller project. We are going to
have to do this as soon as possible.
We have also tried to contact one of our main actresses Hayley Gooding to
see when she also is free.
Through the planning stages, we have realised that we are going to have
to film the park scene first; because we need a still frame of the opening
part of this sequence to use this in one of the props (the picture frame).
This will help us to create an effect which we will enable through the later
editing stages.
Next, we are going to start filming the church scene, located near my house
in Collier Row.
Props and costumes need to be organised too before filming commences.

Animatic

 This is our storyboard, which places in order the shots we are going to use in our thriller project. We have roughly sketched out each shot and then on the right, made notes on the type of shot we plan to use, and the sound which will be included along with the shots.

Here is our completed animatic. We have taken individual pictures of each shot in our storyboard, which we have collaborated onto iMovie to create a moving image of our thriller. We have then saved this in QuickTime to be able to post it on youtube. This then enabled us to include it on our blogs.

Storyboard

Now we have finished our preliminary task, the next
task on our to-do-list was the storyboard.
For this, we have to draw out and plan every single
shot that we have planned to include in our actual
final short thriller piece.
We completed one rough draft of this storyboard
just so we knew what we were going to do; and then
after this we completed a second storyboard which
was much more clearer and in a better order. This
is because on the draft we put some of the shots the
wrong way around but then changed it.

Next, we took pictures of each individual sketch of
the shots from Grace's mobile phone and then used
bluetooth to send them to our iMac computer.
All that is left to do on this is to animate the
images to make a clip, then post it onto my blog.

Then our group can finally start filming our
media project at last.

Preliminary Task

This is our preliminary task, which is now finally complete.
Unfortunately, due to illness I missed the actually filming of the
task, so this meant that Jake Harding had to step in for me to film
while Tara Hussein and Grace Cridland were starring in it.
However, I did help edit it; and we used garageband to make our own
soundtrack to open and close our preliminary task.
It is a short scene, but due to some technical difficulties with
linking some of our shots together, it took a bit longer to actually
edit it and finally complete it.
It is now posted on youtube, making it much more easier to post
in our groups individual blogs.

Group Update

Unfortunately now we are only down to three
members of our group as, sadly Rebecca Sabberton
has decided to leave sixth form. Our group
members are now just me, Grace Cridland and
Tara Hussein.

This week means lots of planning to complete
as there is the preliminary activity to do, the
storyboard and more to do.
