Candid's of filming and editing.

This was when Emily and Blessing took it in turns to film the animatic, which we all did. 

This is Emily and I when we were filming the "sad scene". I had to get a shot of her feet, which was quite difficult as it was snowing and I didn't really want to get my knees wet.

This is a still of Kayleigh filming Emily walking in the at a different angle on the "sad scene". We had to get a few shots of this as we weren't too sure what was going to work or what wasn't going to work. 

This photo's are of Kayleigh and Blessing both working in Garage Band.  It took them a while to experiment and be satisfied with what they created; satisfied enough to use in the opening. 

Deleted Scenes - Epic Fails.

Deleted Scenes For Scene 3.

  This clipping went wrong because Emily started to laugh half-way through, as she couldn't really take this seriously at that moment in time.

Practice filming.

Music

We know when music is added to a film, it lifts it up slightly. It also tells you the sort of vibe it's going out give off throughout the film.

Sam Cooke - Wonderful World - This song gives off a happy vibe throughout the opening of Hitch. It's a swing song and it tells you that the film is going to be a light and happy comedy with romance thrown in.

Jamie O'Neal - All By Myself - This gives off a depressing feel at the beginning of Bridget Jones. The words 'All By Myself' tell you that the main character is a hopeless romantic or is just hopeless at love. By what the main character is doing at the beginning of the film you can tell it's going to be a comedy, by the way the character is dancing and miming.

For our two minute opening, we're not allowed to use music that's been produced by artists. We have to create our own music. If we didn't have to create our own music, we would've had a decision to make out of:

• Michael Bublé - Haven't Met You Yet
• Katy Perry - Hot N Cold
• Train - Hey Soul Sister
• Sara Bareilles - Love Song

These are all very cliched love songs to begin a film with, as why we've picked them.

Why I've chosen to do Media Studies.

I've chosen to do media studies because I have a keen interest in media; whether it be music or films. It's also a creative subject and I believe that I can be creative when it's required and when I want to. I have a feeling I may need this to get into my chosen course at university, as well. when I was picking my sixth form subjects, this seemed to fit in well with the rest of them. When I leave sixth form I hope to go to university to study music journalism. I think media will fit in well with this as it will help me develop my writing skills. It also gives me a chance to improve on my computer skills. My aim for this year is to drive myself to work hard so I can achieve the best grade I can.

 Casting:
Emily (main character)
Three of Emily's male friends.
Chloe (myself)

Emily can't get a boyfriend because she's really cliched at being hopeless in-love. So Chloe tries helping out by setting her up on dates with her friends, little does Emily know they are complete psychos, well, not literally. Really weird, would be a better term. The majority of these dates fail, so Chloe coaxes Emily into coming to the coffee shop with her for an innocent meeting. Little does Emily know, that Chloe has arranged another date. This is how Emily meets Billy and where the story line carries onto the main film.

 The setting of this film would be at Emily's house for the first date, so she's in the kitchen offering her date a drink when he freaks out. The second date would be at the park, hopefully Gillingham park or maybe even Emily's back garden. The final part of the opening would be at the coffee house. But instead of actually going out in public, we might do it in the school canteen. Then we don't have to ask for permission to use a cafe, but somehow we'd need to be able to get Billy to come into school.

The camera angles we're going to use will probably be the shot-reverse shot, close up and 180 degrees. We'll probably add more camera angles when we're filming, but we've not really discussed what ones we're going to use yet.

The costume designs- or what I will think them to be- have already been published on my blog. I expect for the first date, Emily to wear something she's a bit comfortable in, then the second date something a bit more formal and girly. This shows that she's fashionable and in-touch with her feminine side. For the boys' I've picked something casual and comfortable, so that the audience can see that it's the first stages of a date and that it's nothing serious at the moment. For the coffee date I've put both of the characters in something that's comfortable and still a bit girly, so it can show that it's a typical girly day out.
