My production

My production is about a mysterious character who only has one advantage, and that is to murder. This mysterious character has many victims. The beginning of the production is suppose to show the character drinking at a pub and having flash backs of the victims he murdered and the streets, he murdered them on. All the victims are prostitutes and get targeted and attacked when they least expect it. No music will be added to this production to give it a mysterious silent effect. The characters who we are going to use are all the 3 main casts as the prostitutes who get murdered and one boy who will cast as the murderer. The main idea behind this project is to inspire history as we used the idea of jack the ripper to inspire are story. We used various locations for our production firstly, we filmed ouside near college then, we filmed in brick lane this was done to get more background footage.


The atmosphere for are production will be very tense the lighting we will be using is dark and natural light.
So far we have no idea for props, my group and i are planning to were normal clothing. We will being taking extra shots for
each scene to decide the best one to use for our actually production. We are also planning to take a variety of different camera angles for example, medium shot, medium close up cut,low angle and high angle to see which one works best for the scene.

My First Practical

For my first practical task, filming a character walking into a room, my group and i decided on what role we would play in this production. My role within the group was to film, certain shot types for example, long shot and close ups. I was pleased with the beginning because my group and i, were able to produce good shots although we found technical difficulties when using the cam-corder for example, when trying to do a long angle shot the camera repeatedly faced upwards, in which we had to find other ways to record. When editing the clips together it all came together nicely, We encountered a few problems when editing the sequences together because we could not import some of the clips onto the computer, However, we did resolve these problems by fast-forwarding the film and asking, for assistance. This task enabled me learn how to import clips from a cam-corder onto a computer. If i were to repeat the task i will make sure i watch the whole film before i import everything at once on the computer, to make sure all my clips are on, and that i have captured all th necessary footage. The footage that i was not pleased with was the clips with the two characters at the end having a conversation because they continually laughed in the process of the clips which made it hard to fit the clips together at the end also most of the camera angle we use were different in each clip so it made it difficult to fit all the scenes together. However, i was pleased with the end result of the filming because when it was put together it all looked really good.
