Week Eight -Filming

   Right. Well today we finished our filming that we would have finished last week but couldn't due to strikes. I filmed the scenes and Fehinti and Mr. Ellis acted as nine and the detective. Adam helped with the positioning of the actors, etc as he was not filming because he filmed our first location scenes.

   I becan editing the footage that i had filmed that day, cutting out the part that i believe did not flow. Adam was Fehinti was.

   I was given the  job of deciding which insititution we were going to use in our film. One of the options i looked at was Paramount pictures.

   After researching the type of films Paramount pictures make, i thought that this institution could be a very good one for our film because the films they make are the bigger, more successful films. A few films they have made are: Hugo, Puss in boots and Paranormal Activity 3. These are highly popular films and i believe that if we use it in our film, it would suggest that our film would be in the league that Paramount pictures films are in if it were a real movie theatre film.

Another possibility is Universal Studios. This was also a very high contender as our chosen institution logo because of the success of the insitution.

   Some of the films Universal Studios make are: Cowboys and Aliens, Larry Crowne and Tower Heist. These films are successful but aren't as well known which would suggest that the institution is not as big as Paramount Pictures which if this was to be a real movie, it may not get the same publicity as it would if we used Paramount. On the other hand, i think 'Universal Studios' sounds big and powerful which is a bit like out insitution's name 'Gravitational Studios' so i think they would go well together and sound more like a close partnership.

   The last institution i'm going to talk about is Dreamworks.

   I have decided to evaluate this institution because i wanted to show what i didn't want. I believe that Dreamworks would be the wrong choice as our institution logo. This is because the type of films that Dreanworks produce and our film are not alike. Some of the films that Dreamworks have produced are: Shrek, Monsters v.s. Aliens and Kung Fu Panda which are animations and suitable for children. I think that if we used this institution then it would mislead our audience as they may think that as Dreamworks has worked on this film, that it's going to be a certain type of film (light-hearted and fun).

Week six -Filming

   Yesterday evening Adam, Fehinti, our actor Laura and I went to Apsley Paper Mill to begin filming. We went down to our specific location and shot the scenes where the victim was kidnapped.

   I think it went well as we got everything done that we needed and the location was very fitting.
Adam filmed the scenes in the Paper Mill and i took pictures as evidence. Fehinti played '9' as we had a cancellation with the actor who agreed to play him.

   At our second location (the interrogation room) i will be doing majority of the filming so that we can share out who films.

   We all played a role in directing and tried to make sure we had good continuity e.g. When Laura's cardigan fell off of her shoulder in the scene, it would be down in the next scene as well to add fluidity.
