Filming - How it went?

We did ur filimg on the 3rd of March and i would say it went well, we walked around cambridge for a while looking for the right location, and went down a lot of the streets, we finally found the right kinda street and started shooting, it was handly doing it down a street because not many people walked down there to get in the way, apart from some, so we had to shoot it a couple of times. We done our couple of scenes quite quickly, and they looked ok.

While we was there we got a new shot, which was the one where we are shoting from the reflection on the stalkers glasses, we really liked how this shot went, and thought it looked really creepy. We also got a kinda freaky looking shot of the victim looking into the glasses, which we are going to use. The first shots came out really well, where the victim was walking out of her doorway to walk to college. There was also another shot we did where the filmer walked with the camera and followed the victim as if it was the stalker following her.

We did have some problems with things in the backgrounds of the shot, we got peoples feet in the back ground and sometimes even the tripod. But luckily we had enough film to cut them out.
the next part we had to do was the school scene which we never got round to doing properlly because not everyone was at school on the day we planned to do it, and forgot part of the costumes. So we did a rough cut of these scenes and added them to our draft, and when we are allowed the cameras, we are going to do it again. We also never did our scene in the house where we zoomed in to one photo, so we also have to do this scene.

We ended up changing so we didnt get on the bus, as we thought this would cause loads of problems and the bus stops are in really busy places, so we just filmed her coming out of her house and walking down the street.

Overall, our filming so far went good, and we think we can deffinatly use all of it. We just need to get our extra scenes.

Photos of our locations

These are photos from our town location, down a street and also we took some from the angles we was shooting from, including our shot where it is a close up on the stalkers glasses (the reflection).

1. Down the street we was down and you
can also see the door way that we used. to the left of jack.

2. We picked this photo because its kind of stalker-ish.

3. This photo is of the street we was filming down, and laura and harry.

4. This is a photo of the refection in the classes, we got a picture to see which angle we needed to put the camera at. and also for our still shots.

logo overview

i think the logos for 'the persuit' have shown improvemnts each upload and that they are developing into a professional looking standard. i think that logo 5, is very simular to the logo used for resident evil, a horror type thriller company for movies and video games.

However i think that our peruit logo works better for our idea as the 'noise' image effect on the logo gives it an edge.

the persuit 5

creepy alley location.

this is a creepy little alleyway in cambridge that we can use for one of our stalking moments.

it would look better at night but there is no street lamps so you would not be able to see the actors very well.

Ideas for lighting....

Outside our lighting will obviously be what ever the days like, but hopefully it will be gloomy, and not raining.... or maybe that would be a good effect, but we will have to be careful with the camera and have a umbrella.

In the school we will also use the natural light that comes into the school and when she gets off the bus.

The only one we can look at carefully is the bedroom lighting, we will try and make it dark and a bit creepy, the bedroom walls in my bedroom are red, so this could add to the effect.
I'm thinking of getting some shots of this bedroom shot in hand. So i can show the group what they think. And then adding them to this blog post.

COSTUME ideas - Stalker.

Stalker -
we need really scary looking clothes for our stalker, so we was thinking about having a hoodie then a leather jacket and just jeans. We thought of just dressing him in black because it would make him look more scary and also creepy, he will have his hood up, so it looks like he is hiding his face. And also he will be holding a photo in his pocket of the young girl.

COSTUME ideas - Victim.

victim costume is just casual school clothes as she is going to college and just wearing what she would normally wear to school, we are dressing her in a black school jumper, black jeans and plimsolls. She will also have a school bag.

We will also have people in the background wearing black jumpers?

Ideas for the Title

Here are some of the thriller titles we used as ideas for our title:

Stalkers wall of photographs.....

These are a few pictures we found on www.google.com to help represent what look we want to get for the wall of photos.



We liked this one because it shows what we want to show through our thriller, fear and vunrability.




We like this one because it has different faces of people so it shows if we use this how we can zoom in in our filming and choose one photo for the stalker.

Our Thriller:
We decided to use this type of idea in our thriller, we collected some pictures of the people in our group and people who will be in the thriller also other people at parties, college etc.
We made a collection and we are going to stick them on a bedroom wall and use it as a prop for filming the thriller.

Plan on Filiming

We are planning to film on the Thursday after half term, and this is because we have a media lesson last and we can start filming straight away.

Possible Location Shots

These are only the location shots for the scenes that will be filmed in college.
