Opening film: UPDATED

After our teacher went through our blogs, he suggested that we could improve our film by making minor changes. Our film ran a little bit over time, so we had to cut some scenes short and to make our transitions abit more cleaner.

FINAL OPENING SCENE

Editing

After uploading our footage two weeks ago, we've been editing our piece and making new changes. Since we didn't get all the footage we needed, we had to go away for another week to get the important clips. Once we done that and uploaded footage we realised that some of the clips that were filmed weren't steady enough or the canera was either out of focus. So myself and another group member had to go and get the footage again. In the end we've managed to get everything that we needed and we only have a couple of days left of editing.

To create the font we want for our film we went onto a website called 'dafont.com' to try and create suitable credits for our opening. We wanted to choose a font that would link to our film, and since it's a Teen ROMCOM, the type of font we wanted to go for was a bold, and colourful type.

Changes on title

Whilst having our first editing session after going through most of our clips, our teacher suggested that maybe 'Cant take the heat' may not be the best idea as a film title. First he came up with the idea that 'All night long' may be a good suggestion since the main storyline is about the day after partying all night long.We thought about it as a group then decided that 'Another Day' would be better, we thought this because not only is our film concentrating on the morning after a long night, but also about the daily situations our characters go through. The beginning of our film also shows establishing shots of daily routines which would relate well to our new title. We also decided to take the 'Classroom' scene that we had filmed, this decision was made since we thought that that particular scene wasn't really necessary for our opening scene, and didn't really fit in with the flow of our story.

Filming Part 2

Here are some photos of our actors on set and whilst filming.

'House Scene' Filming

The next part of our filming was the House Scene, which we filmed on Saturday. The only problems we encountered was our schedule timing, not everyone arrived on time, so therefore it caused us to start filming a bit late. Otherwise everything else went fine, everyone knew what they were doing, and we got the whole scene done.

Establishing Shot Filming

We managed to film our establishing shot which took place in the park Friday 27th January, we started filming around 10am and finished 10:40am. The filming went well we got the different shots that we wanted which would a good opening to our film.

Filming part 1

Today we filmed the first part of our opening scene which is the 'Classroom,' the filming went smoothly the actors in the scene contributed very well. The only problem we had was trying to fit all the filming within a certain amount of time. We also managed to set up and pack away the equipment quickly, so we didn't go over time.

Updated Script

After re-reading through our script a number of times, our teacher then decided since we do not see the character Ned Flames in the present, we should add something at the end of the script to introduce him.

First draft of script

We used a programme 'Celtix,' to help create our script once we came up with our storyline.
