Almost Done

Filming is complete and I've added the credits and the title, but there are some things that we are considering changing. For example, I am going to play around in Final Cut Pro to see if i can make certain shots more stable. Some of the shaky shots work as it gives a sense of speed and tension, but we think that others may be too shaky. This is how the film looks with the opening credits and title:

Bloopers

We had a lot of issues while filming. Here is most of them:

Filming Update

We went to West Kirby on Sunday 7th February. We were able to finish filming and have started editing, but there are a few things we would like to change. For example, we need to shorten it slightly as it exceeds the two minute limit. We are probably going to end it where Ryan is pointing the gun at me as it will seem more mysterious. We also need to add the credits and the title. Here is what we have so far:

Behind Schedule

We are slightly behind our schedule as we were unable to film last Sunday (31st January) due to timing complications within the group. However, we plan to continue filming this Sunday (7th February).

Camera and Editing Software

We are using a Fujifilm Finepix S4700 Bridge DSLR. This is a good camera that allows us to film in good quality.

We are using a Jessop Atlantic 325 tripod for steady shots on the ground.

We are editing with Final Cut Pro X. This software is very easy to use and has a wide range of features that we can incorporate in our film.

SWAT Team!?

Filming was interrupted when a black helicopter began hovering over us...

We decided it wasn't a great idea to use prop guns near a children's playground.

Filming Begins

15th January 2016:
We originally wanted to begin filming on this day, but some of us were unavailable so filming had to be pushed back.

16th January 2016:
We were unable to film on this day due to Ryan's Saturday job. Filming had to be pushed back once again.

24th January 2016:
We finally found a suitable day to begin filming where all four of us were available. Unfortunately, Ryan's friend Leah was unavailable, so couldn't play the role of the victim at the beginning of the film. Luckily, his friend Charlotte was willing to take up the role. We had a very productive day of filming from 10:00 - 5:00 and the film is about half-way complete. However, just after we started filming, we realised Riley was better with the camera than Oliver, while Oliver was better at running, so they switched roles. We have agreed to meet again next Sunday to continue filming.

Here is the film so far...
