Updating

We had a little situation were we had to find a back up plan for the location (Samuel Montagu centre) as there was a problem. They alerted us that we still had a chance of being able to use the location, but just to be sure my group and I, started looking for back up loactions. We looked at the changing rooms at welling school, this location wasnt entirely what we was looking for, as they didn't look abandoned or dirty. However, there was a room in the school that we could have used. Although it wasnt a chnaging room it was still dirty and abandoned. The group started having a few disscusions and debates about the location. Luckily we got told that we could still use the original location. So we was quite happy about that!

After all the problems with the locations and such, we went to the original location and filmed our title sequence for 'The dolls house'. We had a few problems while we were filming but nothing too bad. So we sorted them out.
One of the problems was the fake blood! In the post below i mentioned that Emily was going to make the fake blood. This didnt turn out to well as it looks too fake and we wanted a more realistic look. Nina Moore had some left over fake blood from another group she helped out, but this also looked quite fake. We resolved this problem by mixing tomato ketchup with the fake blood. This was very fortunate as it happened to look realistic, as the blood thickened up and bit more and the coloured changed into a more blood-like colour.

There was also one shot were Me and Leah had to run down a corridor to try and escape. We was hoping for a long dark corridor to be located somewhere in the rugby changing rooms, but there wasnt one. Although there was one corridor which wasnt what we quite hoped for. We still filmed this shot at Samuel Montagu Centre, just to note it down as development and experimenting. When we came back to school to edit the film, we found that there was too much light and there was no chance of us using that clip. We then found a long dark corridor which matched our description and we filmed that shot again. However, It was a little too dark and we could really see anything on the camera so we used set up lighting, it turned out exactly as we planned because we intended the corridor to have very little light. Thankfully it looked alot better!

We used a dark room with black walls to film the scene with the jewellery box and the scene with the killer making the model of "The dolls house". We used little light because our main aim of that scene was to make the camera focus on either the jewellery box or the killer making the model of the murder victims. We also had a problem finding a dark corner to set this up in at Samuel Montagu Centre, so we found an alternative in a drama room at Welling School.

We are now at the stage of editing the film sequence. We are thinking about experimenting with different effects and audio sounds. Our main idea for the title sequence is to give it an old fashioned look.
