In today's lesson we arranged a date to record our song by A band called the Turtles they will be playing 'creep' by Radiohead. We will be recording this tomorrow after school.

Change of plan!!!!!!

we recorded the turtles song but only the instruments. we couldn't record Helens vocals because she wasn't in. We still put the sound on to see what it would look like without the lyrics,we liked it but its wasn't exactly what we wanted. In the end we changed our music altogether and got a non copyrighted song from a website called freeplaymusic.com. The music is still a rock genre. overall i think it goes well with our sequence.

Change of plan!!!!!

We have also decided to film an opening sequence for our film. It will be Charlotte sitting in her room looking at a photo of me while the song plays in the background on a stereo. The location will be at my house in my room.we plan to get this filmed next week.

We have also decided to change this idea too because we ran out of space to put it into the timeline.

In today's lesson we transferred our title sequence footage from Movie maker to final cut pro. This would allow us to cut and perfect our footage. We were also deciding where to put our titles and where to put the title of the film 'Bitten'.In the end we decided to put the title 'Bitten' in the middle of the sequence.

Institution Research

Who would produce/distribute our film?

Warner Bros. Pictures

We chose this because of certain films that they have done, for example the Harry Potter films and the Batman films which relates to our dark and action part of our genre. However, they have also done films like Corpse Bride which is aimed at a younger audience but is very strange at the same time so I think that this would be perfect for our film.

Examples of films they have already distributed/produced:

• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1


• Inception


• Clash of the Titans


• The Book of Eli


• Sherlock Holmes


• Terminator Salvation


• The Dark Knight


• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street


• Corpse Bride


• The Matrix

cast and crew

Amy Clement - Actress ( playing a man )

We couldn't find a boy to play the part of the vampire so we got our friend amy to wear a hoodie and back genes. She chased after me and dragged me away.

Sonal Rabadia - Camera Woman

Charlotte Norman - Editor

Emily Hills - Actress and Director

We used me as the actress to play the girl because we wanted her to look victimized and in some kind of trouble.

Filming Location

Today we filmed a bit more of our title sequence after school. Our filming location is in Bostall woods. We decided to film here because it is a good location for our story line it is also eerie and creepy. The weather and daylight made the woods seem even darker than it really was which gave the footage a good effect.

Today we took some more pictures of me being stalked by the vampire. These pictures will be going at the beginning of our title sequence. I think that these are successful because they flow into each other showing the right amount of gap in between each step i take.
