MEDIA STUDIES BLOG 2015/16

On the first Morning of shooting, were we very lucky to have nice bright blue sky weather, however due to the strong sunlight the filming was effecting due to the number of shadows created by people and camera equipment but on a whole I think we managed it well. Furthermore, the ability to use a drone to film some birds eye shots was another bonus as it added another dimension towards our movie and the viewers perspective. Unexpectedly when filming  we did however come across a problem which was the ride of the vehicle uses in the filming. Due to hard suspension some film was jigging about and quite bumpy which did effect our progress but does mean we have to work extra harder to make the film look professional and get the best features in to add to the 'horror' themed effect. Another problem that occurred on the morning of the filming was the number of vehicles that passed us in our location. This meant filming specific parts look longer then expected and more edite...

Our props are Ideas taken from other films that give the film another Dimension The motor vehicle in which we will use to film most of our movie with will be a Nissan Note which is car that some Uber drivers actually use so it will suggest to the audience that this film is like a real life scenario. The car which is and old battered car links to other scary films where old cars give another example of the taxi driver being an sick minded psychopath only caring about killing girls In addition we will be using bottled water which during the part where the girl enters the taxi, the driver will put something that is deemed poisonous to give the girl the major side effects so he able to complete his task of being a psychopathy. This Link to the Human centipede where drugged wated helped sedate his victims We will also be using leather gloves for the taxi driver so he doesn't leave his finger print behind on the car or shovel which shows he well thought ou...

Due to her high acting profile, our actress for our young Kidnapped girl, Holly Gibbs couldn't make it as she was very busy on the days we were planned to film our movie. Fortunately however, we managed to Gain another very good actress called Demi crook, who has played her part in many West end musicals and known for her great theatrical voice and emotions so we hope she can live up to her reputation.# We still thankfully have Simon Wood as our actor who plays the role as the taxi driver

Analysis of the script  From Looking at our script, it perfectly fits the genre of our film. A positive is that we have included emotions and stage directions swell as some camera shots to make it even clearer for someone who is reading it to see whats going on. while filming however, some minor changes may be made which will be noted down after as we may come up with some alternative lines/words which we think may fit better and give a better effect to the scene, but i think overall our script is very well put together with enough detail not to bore our audience

Risk Assessment:  Low Medium High Need to be careful of breaking or dropping the equipment at school.  As we our filming on a high street someone may want to steal or rob the equipment of us.  As we are filming outside a pub drunk people outside pub could interrupt the film.  As we are using a car injuring ourselves in or around the car.  The equipment could be damaged as we are filming outside a pub as people could have drinks of them.  It is a busy road and high street so many people could walk past and have background noise affecting the film. Damage to the car or equipment during filming.  There could be road works or traffic lights on the street. This will effect filming.  Our actor is a young girl and we are filming outside a pub she could be vulnerable and people could speak to her.  Someone could trip over the wire. So we need to be careful and organized. If the weat...
