Feedback from Chillers

CH CH CH CH Changes

After gaining feedback, we have been advised to make some changes to our film, in order to improve it.

1. We need to make changes to our title sequence by adding some different music for the institutions. We need to find a different font. As well as take a second look at or title sequence to make sure everything is concluded in it.

2. We need to have a look at the panorama shot of the river. Chillers thought it was a bit jumpy, we will need to evaluate possible solutions.

3. We need to revise the different cuts of our scenes. Specifically the stair scene, the barrel scene and George's scene where he is shot.

4. We need to look at super imposing the roulette wheel on the eye.

5. Finally, we need to take a look at the final  music choices, perhaps we could change the pace for certain scenes.

Back To Work

Christmas is over and now we are back to work.

As always we use meeting to review. We have completed the; storyboard, script, locations, props list and costume list.

However the locations need our permissions confirmed for our locations, transport needs to be sorted as well as a filming timetable.

Look At The Time

How the time fly's it's almost Christmas and theirs still so much to do.

We need the story board to be completed and checked, a shot list needs to be written and our locations need to be researched more. These are our Priority.

As for the script, it needs to specify the end of the scene. As well as an up to date blog post of the script, it needs to be scanned and uploaded as well as perhaps a small paragraph on the changes done.

We need several other posts. We need an explanation post of our ideas and where we got the influence. A post on the problems we might and have encountered, as well as a post on the filming timetable.

GHEM Review 27/11/2015

Well it's been just over a month and we decided to have a quick review, just to see how far along we are. We currently have 36 posts at the time of this review and we can only go up. We were really proud of the amount of posts we have. We would say that the presentation of the blog is quite good, we loved the photos and images as they brightened the blog. We checked the basic guidelines that we had on our content, and we found we had extra content.

However we decided that we needed to go into extra detail on our target audience, thoroughly research it as a group. We need to also start looking into Institutions. What they are, where we can find them and what we would chose to show our film.

Group Meeting 2: 10th November

Initial Ideas and Target Audience

After starting the meeting we began to divulge our initial ideas. Matt come up with the idea of a film called 'Roulette', where a young man is framed for the murder of a Russian mafias King Ping's wife. He struggles to prove his innocence whilst being cased down by cops, bounty hunters and assassins. 

We next heard from George, who's idea was called 'The Interrogation Room'. This is based around a prisoner being interrogated in Guantanamo Bay, where the prisoner is subjugated to torture. Will we know if he is innocent or guilty.

Ellis came up with the idea of 'Murder at the Theater', where a young woman finds a deformed body in the middle of an abandoned theater. Trapped with a murderer after her, will she manage to escape and alert the authorities? Or will she die?

Finally, Harvey admitted he had struggled to come up with an original idea but planned some jokes for a hybrid thriller, comedic thriller, which was our previous idea. 

As a group we discussed our target audience. After a bit of debating, we agreed that our preferred target audience were teenagers and young adults (15+).  

Group Meeting 1: 18th October

What Will We Do? 

We had the meeting other our Facebook group chat. Ellis had suggested we do a hybrid Thriller Comedy. This intrigued the group and Harvey agreed saying that we could pull it off if we worked hard enough and that if it is unique enough we could get A grades. Ellis responded saying we could make it based around crime if we could find similar films to research.

 

We find that using Facebook Messenger is extremely helpful, and makes communication outside of school much easier.
