As a group we decided to create a Twitter and Facebook page for our production company, LEAD Productions. We agreed this was a great way to use cross media convergence and attract our audience. Our film is aimed at any gender and any age above 15 meaning there is a wide audience, so we needed a variety of different ways to advertise and distribute our film and production company. Using the internet is modern use with many people joining and regularly using websites such as Twitter and Facebook, so making pages for these sites allows our audience and fans to keep up with any film news. Furthermore by using a variety of different ways to attract an audience means the larger the audience will be and lead to small production companies making a larger profit if we are advertising and distributing through the internet. We created a Facebook page for both our production company and film so that our audience and fans can see recent news on both the film and the production company.

Emma - Editing

When we completed filming our opening sequence we used editing to make our film more interesting and appropriate to our genre of horror/thriller.
Our film doesn't include any conversation and we realised it wouldn’t be clear what was happening, therefore we added a narration. We thought this would be effective as it subtly tells the audience what is going on that the antagonist has chosen a random victim and is following her. We interestingly made the narration from the villain’s perspective as this contrasts other horror/thriller films as generally the narration is of the protagonist. Our narration made the opening sequence much more gripping and interesting as the audience could follow what was happening and it makes them want to know what will happen but also see from the antagonists’ point of view and see what’s going through his head.

Risk Assessment

When planning our filming for our main task we assessed the risks that could affect the health and safety of the four of us filming as well as others around us. Part of the filming took place on a train which meant we had to respect the commuters around us by being sensible and not get in anyone's way. We had to be careful getting safely and sensibly on the train as well as taking care of the tripod and camera. Furthermore when filming we had to place the tripod in a sensible place so that we were not disturbing commuters around us when getting on and off the train making sure nobody fell over any equipment. For the rest of our film we filmed in a garage and kitchen using a knife and matches. When using the matches to set alight the paper that said 'Lead Productions', we made sure everyone was standing clear of the match so that nobody's clothes caught fire and also made sure that when the paper was set alight it didn't set light/ burn any surrounding objects or hands. Finally we used a knife in our production and one of our shots was to drop it a counter to the floor. During this everyone stood well back so that it wouldn't hit the ground awkwardly and bounce up and hit anyone or anyone's feet. We also made sure the camera and tripod were in a safe position far enough away from the knife so that we could still film without the knife damaging any of the equipment.

Photo Storyboard

For our photo storyboard all four of us went out as a group and took photos for our storyboard which linked to our sketch story board and told the story of our opening sequence. We all took part in taking the photo's but I put the photo story board together.

allocated work

To work out who was doing what piece of work and blog post, we decided to split the paper into four quarters and decide what everyone was doing to organise the group. This meant that two people weren't working on the same piece of work and also that when one piece of work was finished everyone knew what else they had to do. This also meant that everyone was doing equal amounts of work and by choosing what they wanted to do everyone was happy with the work they had to do, this meant that there were no disagreements and the work would get done quickly and efficiently.
