Production Diary

On Sunday 12th February my group had organised to film our original title sequence at a friend's house. Unfortunately we weren't able to use her house so we had to change our plans of the sequence.

The following weekend filmed the sequence of my brother getting kidnapped at my Dad's house. I used a tripod so it looked steady and fluent. When my brother was being put into the back of the van I took the camera off the tripod to create a more realistic effect and so the audience can feel like they're standing there watching what is happening.

On Monday 20th February my group had a meeting to discuss what we were going to do next. We decided that they were going to film another kidnap scene of a little girl getting kidnapped but they never filmed that.

On Wednesday 22nd February, none of my group were in so I had to try and edit the footage I shot on my own. I made it flow by using Match-on-Action and I followed the 180-degree rule whilst I was filming.

I decided that my group weren't very reliable and I had to organise another dicussion about how we are going to finish filming our footage. We then decided we were going to have multiple kidnappings happening with two different kidnappers whilst a news report was going to be intercut between them.

On Friday 9th March we filmed the rest of our kidnappings and put the footage onto the editing software (Adobe Premier Pro). We put the footage in order and edited it so the footage flowed.

On Friday 16th March we filmed the news report in the television studio using a green screen.

After that we continued editing to make our film look better and so it flowed more. Our actors weren't very good so we had to edit the bad sections out to make it look more professional.
