Making the polaroids into real

Today we printed the polaroids off and managed to stick them to some card to make them look real, we are now thinking of different ways of filming the polaroids and editing the shots. On thursday we will be finishing the last parts of filming we need to do, which is our party scene. We will use the venue of my house, use props such as lights or a disco ball and we will be using the tracks that we found on mobygratis saving them onto the USB stick and playing them from the laptop at home.

Picnik.com - Polaroids Idea

In our group we came up with an idea of using polaroid pictures in the titles as if someone has been stalking Charlie the main character. We used picnik.com to edit some photos into polaroid pictures, we are then going to print them out and hang them up so it looks like they are in the stalkers home. We are then going to use a panning shot to move across the photos with some titles moving across the bottom of them. These are the photos we have so far;





Art Of The Title

Looking at the website 'Art Of The Title' helped me gain an insight into the making of a title sequence. I began to looked at various title sequences, such as 'Se7en' and 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World'.

Filming

Yesterday me and the rest of my team plus a few extras went down to the warehouse and filmed about half of the thriller. We got a lot of different camera angles and played about with how we were filming the scene involving Charlie and Rory. Everybody had something to do, Rory is the director, Charlie is the main character and an editor, I do the filming and editing, Joe helped with setting the camera angles, Tayla is costume and make-up, Tom is in charge of lighting, Dan did some of the filming in our film and Beth got us part of the location. We are currently editing the film at the moment and will continue filming next week, we still need to film in one more location then put it all together. We have to try and do this when the other class is not in the editing suite as there is not enough room and people need certain computers. Here are some pictures of us filming;

Past Students Work

I was having a look at some work of past students and one of them had me really intersted and i thought it was a really good opening for a thriller. It keeps the suspense building right the way through and used some really good camera skills. They had a interesting story behind their opening, finding an item then using a red herring in the beginning but then the real villains are shown.
