This week, we looked at conducting our story ideas by collaborating a range of our own, choosing our favourite and putting them together. After we had our 4 favourite ideas from each of our prezi', we went to a large group of people in our target audience and got feedback on the different ideas. Using this feedback, we managed to create a story idea that we like just as much as our audience. This was helpful to us as it meant we could get new ideas and adapt the ones we already had. The next thing we are going to look is coming up with locating our story idea and developing our character types.

Last week, we looked at placing our story into a suitable location for filming and started to look at different places for our film. We contacted the local council and other places for permission to film in. The council replied saying they do not own the property and instead we should contact the owners. We also made talent release forms and location release forms, including our production company logo on top. After this, in Fridays lesson we transformed our production logo into a moving one like the Universal that features before the film. We tried keeping it simple, yet used the black and white theme to signify horror.

This week we worked individually to look at the different classifications the BBFC name there films. We also looked at creating a BBFC certificate and applied our level of knowledge to the classify our film. We both chose our own and gave our reasons and then tried to make them match. Luckily, we both chose to classify it as a 15 and from this we created a certificate for our finished film. We are now going to make our social media pages after we brainstorm title ideas for our audience to choose.

We have now come up with a range of different titles for our film and have published this on a survey website to get feedback on what we should use for our film. This included the definitions for what each of our title meant. After we brainstormed different ideas individually, we put them together and came up with 'Delusion', which won the most votes on the survey.

After looking on different royalty free websites for horror music. We then decided to look on YouTube and came across a man who would allow us permission should we credit his work in it. Therefore, we will use some of his different soundtracks and put them in our film opening. This week we also looked at plans for shooting and began thinking of different shots to include in our animatic.
Friday 12th December, 2014
This week we decided to not do an animatic and instead start on our storyboard for a number of different reasons. It allowed us to create a more realistic version through images we could draw and we could also change different things in our story opening should we find it does not work. By the end of term, we are looking to complete our call sheets and finish our storyboard for when we film over Christmas and when we come back.
Wednesday 19th December, 2014
In our final media lesson of the year, we have completed all of the tasks on the checklist including our storyboard, adding more depth to our plans for shooting and our storyboard. This means we are now ready to start filming when we come back in the new year and potentially over the holiday depending on the weather.

Over the Christmas period, we began filming the interior shoots for our film opening with our actor Emily. Everything went to plan, and until we have finished shooting, we will start to work on the edit decision list next lesson and finish it after we have all of our footage.
Wednesday 14th January, 2015
As we were about to shoot the exterior shots for our film opening, we have had some problems with our actor and therefore have had to find a new actor. This means that the interior footage is now irrelevant, we aim to start filming for the new actor next lesson and then continue with the new edit decision list for the raw footage.
Friday 16th January, 2015
While we have waited to finish filming with our new actor, we have been selecting the music and sound effects which we aim to include in our film opening. By placing this in Premiere Pro now we will be able to see how it matches with the footage that we have collected.
Wednesday 21st January, 2015
This lesson we collected the final footage from the film opening and went through the edit decision list to decide which clips we knew for definite we would not include. Next lesson, Frankie aims to continue with the edit decision list while I finish off the remainders for the checklist and publish them to our blog.
Wednesday 28th January, 2015
We have finished the edit decision list and we are now working on the film opening by editing it in Premiere Pro. Over the next few lessons, we aim to finish our rough cut for the film opening.
Wednesday 4th February, 2015
This lesson, we finished the rough cut for our film opening and presented it to the class. We are now going to insert the sound and from our audience feedback, we are going to edit and change our film opening so that it matches with the feedback we received from the class and those on our Facebook fan pages.
Wednesday 11th February, 2015
We are coming to the end of editing our film opening. This lesson we individually went round the class and onto each others social media sites to submit written feedback in conclusion to our final film opening. We aim for this to be on YouTube in the next lesson. We will also ensure that the blogs and the Facebook page is constantly updated with information.
Wednesday 18th February, 2015
Our film opening is now complete and has been published onto YouTube. We aim to publish this on the different social media sites and gain some feedback which will help us in the evaluation part of our G321. This will start from next lesson were we recap and plan what we are going to use in our Evaluation.
