Main Task- Post Production - Dairy Entry

We are half way through editting now and its coming alone really well. We have been choose the music today and seeing which fits with the film best. Also the class have watched our film and gave us feed back on it such as that some of the clips needed more editting. the sound needed fading but apart from these they said we had a good story line, the costumes where really good and also the lighting throughout the film was really good. This has came in useful when we have been editting and we have taken all advise into concern

Main Task - Post Production - First Edit

Main Task - Research

I have been researching into film noir and may of the film noirs use shadows i like th effect of this that it makes the film seem  more mysterious. Here is some pictures of shadows that are used in film noirs and a film opening that uses it.

In this clip in the first 30 seconds a shadow is created which makes the scene more mysterious.

The lighting is a major part of film noir films as they can change the tone of the scene. Here is some pictures from my lighting work shop which shows how it can change the tone of the scene from where you place the light.

Femme fatale is always glamorous i researched this  was so i knew how to dress and do the make-up for the femme fatale in my media production. Here is some pictures of some femme fatales hair, make-up and dress.

Main Task - Post Production - Dairy Entry

Yesterday me and lauren filmed we had some issues such as our location area was unavailable as the owner pulled out close to filming time, lucky we had a back up location which we used. Also we had a problem with actors as one pulled out a day before filming but was easily sorted as we had someone else for our backup. Since filming everything has been fine apart form a couple of the clips dont have any sound, we believe this is because the micophone wasnt turned on, however we are going to get the actors to film there voice and place them on top of the clips to make it seems as if its in the clip. Today we have started editting but cutting out audio which isnt needed and making the clips black and white. I am happy with everything so far in post production and hope this carries on.

Here are some pictures of the location that we filmed, there are three different areas that we filmed.

This is wear the main scene was took place, where Claus and Henry come face to face and Henry is shot. Also later on in that scene Esme walks in and finds Henry dead on the floor. This was the main film location as it is the area where most of the shots took place.

This is the front door of the house this are is used for two scenes when Claus goes into the house and when he leaves. Also to the left is were we filmed the shadow of Rosalie smoking, we are using this for this the credits at the begining of the production.

This is where we film Claus and Rosalie walking towards the house at the beginning and at the end when they walk off. This is a big part as it sets the scene of where the film is located.

This is the location we used to film Carlisle picking up the phone to esme as she rings him to tell him that Henry had been murdered.
