our filming location - charlie Lane

                

Our filming location took place at a arts school called WAC Arts located in Belsize Park. It was very good to be able to film here because some of their rooms in the school where similar to the ones we created when producing our title
sequence.


It was easy to get to as it took us 20 minutes on the tube and even though we where disrupted at times when filming we where still able to successfully film. It was also useful that Tim usually attends
WAC Arts otherwise we may not have been able to film there which would have been difficult for us.

Filming at WAC Arts was also very useful because it is a school so is indoors and because our planning locations where all inside this helped us. This helped because we felt that judging by the time of year and the weather forecast for the dates we filmed (on a previous post) we thought it best to film indoors as we could be affected by very low temperatures, rain or snow.

Below are a few images of the WAC Arts building and their logo.

where title credits will be in film

(Note. The font will not be the same as what is shown here.)

We will hope to create unique credits which will  match well with the background colours, be able to see and be a suitable size. We will may use a white colour as it stands out well to the background colours. We might also use red as it is a connotation for blood which is a main theme of our title sequence. The credits will also be a suitable size and will appear on screen at appropriate times to create a more professional look to our title sequence.

Our main aim is to make sure colours and fonts are able to read, match other colours and also relate or connote to our title sequence idea in general.

First draft of film

feedback to first filming draft

This is the feedback which our teacher Louisa has given us after our first edit session of our footage. It is just rough editing but gives an idea of the order our clips will be put in. Using our teachers help we will be able to build from this and make our title sequence editing look more professional. 

To improve we will try to use a filter in order to keep the camera colour the same throughout the sequence to give it a more professional look. We will also use more fade in or fade out transitions as they make the footage look more realistic as some of our shots are cut and have no transition and you can tell it has been filmed at a different time. Finally, we will try to improve the sound in dialogue so that the audience can hear better which helps them connect to the title sequence and also to make it realistic also. We must also remember reflections in class and stuff because sometimes we can see the camera in the reflection. 

                                                                                                                                                                        

Camera Equipment - CHARLIE LANE

When filming we used a piece of equipment called a dolly camera. This is a type of tripod but with wheels.

A camera dolly is a specialised piece of filmmaking and television production equipment designed to create smooth camera movements (cinematic techniques). The camera is mounted to the dolly and the camera operator and focus puller or camera assistant usually ride on the dolly to operate the camera. The dolly grip is the dedicated technician trained to operate the dolly.

This was helpful to us because it helped make smooth moving shots when Tim was explaining his top 5 kills to the camera as a monologue. This helped create a realism to the film but also interaction to the audience and a comical side also just like in Ferris Bueller. 

How we made fake blood, and how you could make it too!

Here is the delightful video we made, showing you how to make fake blood. Enjoy!
