Radio Transcript Update

This is our Radio Transcript for our radio advertisement we feel with the competition prize at the end and with the right music, sound effects and dialogue behind this it will promote our film really well and create interest; especially by promoting a competition prize.

We will decide which sound effects and dialogue to use when we finish filming our film.

Credit Ideas

I'm sorry to say that this embedding of this video has been disabled therefore I couldn't place the video on this post.

Looking back our Audience Research some people compared our films plot and identity to the likes of 'Saw' so I have decided to look at the credits in one of the films to give us some idea on how to produce our own.

They have Headings such as:

Story

Producers

Executive Producers

The Actors name starring in the film

Director of Photography

Director

These are the main credits we wish to put in ours and may add more or less respectively.

Didn't go exactly to Plan...

Looking at our footage in Andrew and Maria's home of the climax in our film on Final Cut Express...

Unfortunately due to some shots being out of focus and in some shots of our footage, the light being quite dark and the composition of some shots out of place...... we will perhaps have to find a different location to film at at a later date. However some shots worked really well such as the low angle shot of Maria Francis looking down the stairs.

Footage - Saturday 3rd December

After looking at our film, we realised that the lighting is too low key which means we will have to shoot again and probably have to find a new location due to the darkness of the rooms we used. Also, a few shots were out of focus and would have to be re-shot.

Here is some of the footage that went well. However, the lighting on one of the shots doesn't match the rest and is too red/orange.

Filming 3rd December

We managed to begin our filming last Saturday, however due to it becoming dark and losing the natural light we had to stop the filming. We aimed to film on Sunday, however it was raining and cloudy so it was too wet and too dark to continue filming. We will have a look at the footage we have got, but it might not look right because the lighting in the house was quite poor in some places. If this is the case, we will have to look at a new location to shoot the climax of our film.

Filming - calendar

I put the filming date and what we need for filming on Google Calendar, this gives me a quick checklist so I do not forget anything which would be disastrous.














This is the schedule for filming on Saturday 3rd of December. This reminds me of when to film and gives the information for people who are involved with this date to know when to come.

















These are the details of the even, this gives a checklist of what we need and the date and time for other people to know where to go and what time to be there for. It allows Lewis to know where to go as he has never been there before.

Radio Advertisement Script First draft

This is our script for our radio advertisement 'Killing Between The Lines' I have used the tool Celtx to produce this and the sub section 'Audio play'

By creating our own radio advertisement we will be able to build a tense atmosphere that fills our audience listening with deep emotion and engaging them to see our film.

I have listened to some radio advertisements to get some idea of the tense music and dialogue within them. I have also started writing some ideas down for our own. This is just a small, breif draft.

The film 'Pretty Violence' was the short film we made for our AS short film.
