Wednesday 24-02-10

Today we went filming but Zain has forgot the tape so we had to compromise and film with a digital camera. We filmed in the car park in Sainsbury Colliers Wood, of a girl (Minyee) walking home.

Things that didn't go well :
There were cars which was driving all the time, which changes the positions of our originally shots. So if we were to go back to re-shoot at the car park, we would have to re-film everything. To fit conventionally in the thriller genre the car park needed to be isolated but there were too many people.

Things that did go well :
To overcome the problems for
the isolation, we found a empty part of the car park which we could use. In addition, we have managed to finish filming in colliers wood, which means we won't be effected by the positions of the cars in the parking lot.

Roles :
Kemisha - (camera person) high angles shots to give the effect of CCTV footage.
Zain - director
Minyee - actress

Monday 1-03-10
We had to return to Colliers Wood Sainsbury, to re- shoot the CCTV footage scene from Wednesday 24-03-10.


Things that didn't went well:
It would have been better if we had more time, so that we could do extra shots.

Things that did went well:
The car park in Colliers Wood was quite isolated on that day, which makes it easier for us to film. And that we managed to remember our tape and made up for last time with extended shots of CCTV footage.

Tuesday 2-03-10

We had to upload the footage and to create our music on garage band.
Things that didn't go well: We don't have enough footage, which means that we are working at a slow pace.

Things that did go well:
We managed to get feed back from Miss Berry, which helped us understand what we should do to improve and what went well for us. For example the we got praised for the good use of mis en scene, however to improve we needed to film more scenes.

Wednesday 3-03-10

Minyee continued with her music production.

Things that didn't go well:
We didn't managed to film today because two members of our group was absent from lesson.

Things that did go well:
Minyee managed to finish composing the music from garage band.

Friday 5-03-10
Today we had to film more footages. Our next scene was located in a tube station, so we went to the nearest tube station (Balham station) to film a high angle and POV of minyee walking up stair and on the train in the tube station.


What didn't go well: Even though we are able to have access to the tube station and film, without getting caught. We did not managed to film as much as we wanted because we did not try to capture the scene with different shots.

Monday 8-03-10
Today we uploaded the footage's that we had of the tub e sta tion and the car park and experimented on live type on the credits and the title.

Tuesday 9-03-10
Today we went to Canary Wharf, london bridge and waterloo to shoot as many shots as we could. We also had to get permission from the security guard to use the security box to do the last scene.


Wednesday 10-03-10
Today after we look for costume for the stalker to wear we started the last scene and do some extra shots that we needed.

Friday 12-03-10
We noticed that we needed some shots of the assassin changing so we filmed different aspects of her changing. We also needed to show her going into a room where she could change and coming out so we did that as well.


Monday 15-03-10
Today we uploaded the clips of the killing scene and the changing scene where we realise that the shots of the killing scene didn't work as the the weapon wasn't effective so we decided to redo it.

Tuesday 16-03-10
Today we did some more footage for the killing scene as we realise it wasn't enough.

Wednesday 17-03-10
Today we did some more shots of the assassin changing and redo the ones we did as the ones we did wasn't good enough because they were shot at a weird angle.

Friday 19-03-10
We uploaded the footages that we had and started editing.

Monday 20-03-10
We started editing the clips today.

Tuesday 21-03-10
We filmed the CCTV footage on the laptop for our CCTV scene and also scene of the stalker's hand on the laptop to show that the girl was being watched. We also did some close ups of the screens in the security box.

Wednesday 22-03-10
Today we did some shots in the security box to show that the environment in which the stalker was in. We also tried using a different actor for our killing scene but it wasnt working out so we went back to the old actor and redo the scene with a different weapon.
