Our Media Film

We have now filmed our final media course-work. We completed it on Sunday morning in the woods. We did it out of school time so we could spend as long as we liked on it with no time limintions apart from the light. As we choose to set our film in the woods we were sure to be careful and not scare/disrupt any walker. For example, we always let people pass and made sure all of our props were at the edge of the path so no-one would trip over them. We stuck to our script and story-board and found them very useful as we knew exactly what to do. The weather was awful when we shot it but we decided to carry on as we thought the rain might add to dramatic realism and make it seem more scary. We took many different shots and takes from different angles to ensure that we had enough footage to complete all of the shots for our film. We now have to edit the clips to make it look more professional.

I agree that the weather was an especially nice effect to the drama of your film! It really created atmosphere and gave a certain 'spooky' feel to it! Though most homemade films tend to be rather cheesy, I definitely think you pulled it off. Can't wait to see the final piece! Keep up the good work!

Although we watched your film with no sound, it looked really good. The different camera angles you used worked really well. i liked the way that she had mud and blood all over her to make it seem more real. However i think the camera could have been a bit more steady in places although it added tension it was really fuzzy in places.
Was a really good begining though:)
