Changes made in the production process

Today in media, whilst editing our film the suggestion came up that it would be more creative to turn in into black and white, we tried this and it didn’t seem to create the same feeling of horror, suspense and anticipation. We then thought about turning it into black and white, and highlighting some cretin mise en scene parts of shots, for instance the black and white. Close up of hands over bath, wit only the read nails put into colour. This would both highlight and draw attention to this feature. We then thought of the time aspects, then realised we most properly don’t have enough time to implement this. We then came up with the concept of having everything from the murder's perspective in black and white, and everything from normal perspective in colour. This works as it helps promote one of our themes that the murders ‘fixation’ is so strong that he only sees things in black white, were as the rest of the world sees in colour.

Catch up on lessons.

We have just finished our mocks for media, they both proved harder than anticipated, but I think everyone found that, so not to worry too much. Just need to keep on practicing.

In lesson recently we have been working on our coursework, this has been mainly editing, and filming out of lessons. This is proving a little more difficult than we first anticipated. Especially as we have to wait for it to get dark to do most of our shots. But hay, were still ploughing through. Most of our filing is completed now, we only have one or two shots left to get, which will be much easier than the others, as they don't involve Grace diving in and out of the bath all the time. The Majority of our shots are currently on Final Cut Express, waiting to be cut and chopped, moved and changed.

in the other half of our Media course, we have gone through our mocks papers and started filming a little fun clip of representing gender. Our task was to film a brake up scene, even though we were in all female / male groups, which obviously lead to the boys doing a gay scene, were as our group managed to try and find another way around it, we ended up filming a random couple in Costa, (They didn't catch us :)few!) then showing how girls comforted each other. This included a lot of whaling and hugs. This was very fun to do, but also helped us with gender representation.
Will post the video of our gender representation as soon as it is all edited.
