Today we discussed that we needed to start thinking about adding some of credits into our film opening so we wrote a list of credits down including the production companies, actors and actresses, executive producers, casting, screenplay, music by, costume design, director and finally the name of the film.

we started to add in the credits into the opening the production companies were at the very start of the film, one bing before our establishing shot and one after, for the next 3 credits we decided to have them on a black background in white text.

Today we went onto the BBC website and then Radio 1 and began to listen to the breakfest show, using garageband we recorded approximatly 10 minutes of the breakfest show. We was extremely lucky as when we was listening the presentator of the breakfest show read out a text from a student saying that they have just got in from a wicked night out, luckily it was the similar time mentioned as the time on the clock we recorded previously. We all agreed that the breakfest show would be brillaint for our opening as it helps establish what the girl has been doing and the time it is so we added it in using finial cut express.

We began today to edit our footage together using a variety of clips to see what fitted together well and what didnt. We also remember to try and use a range of angles and shots to make it more interesting for the audience.

During 1st period today we went and did some more filming, but this time Mr Henton decided to come with us to help us film because he had a few ideas that he thought would improve the footage.

We than uploaded the footage we taken earlier on and managed to get a further 4 minutes and 11 seconds of footage.

We went onto a website called 'freesound.org' as Mr Henton suggested it for sound effects and music. When browsing through several music peices and sound effects we found 4 relevant ones, these were called Urban Morning Noise, Spooky Ambience with Heartbeat, Bang Bang and Text Message. After downloaded these sounds we were able to add them into our horror film by using final cut express.

We uploaded the footage we filmed on the 14/03/11 onto the Macs and managed to get 6 minutes and 46 seconds containing 56 clips. Mr Henton checked out footage and said it was much better than the previous times.

When we was looking back at the footage we realised that we needed to get a few more shots that we forgotten so after school we went back to the location and filmed the last few bits.

14/03/11

My group got permission to leave school today at 2pm so we went to the location and began to film some more. This time we was able to get a wider range or shots and angles. As our location is on a busy street we rarely are able to film good enough quality of scenes but today we was lucky as the street was very quiet.

09/03/11

Today we showed Mr Henton the footage we had recorded, he told us that there wasnt enough footage and there also wasnt enough angles or type of shots. So my group decided to it would be best to film some more footage.

17/02/11

We uploaded the the footage we filmed on the 14/02/11 onto the Macs. There was 5 minutes 25 seconds which included 39 clips of footage. So far we have approximatly 14 minutes of footage.
