In today's lesson we were given our brief for our practical 2 minutes film by our teacher Dan. When the information was finally given out, my fellow group mate and I went and planned out our ideas it.

Within this lesson, we had a short period time of 3 hours to film an edit the practical task.
In this lesson I have found it very difficult, du to the short period of time and there was only two of us in the group as one of the member was ill at that day.

For this two lesson we had to be focusing on planning our real "thriller" 2 minutes film, we had to start our planning; what is our story line? What shot are we going to use? And where would we film it?
On Friday lesson, we had roughly 10 minutes to go through our ideas and make any changes we wished to change. When this was done, we then had to do a quick "pitching" in front of the whole class, this is because we wanted feed back to our idea, so that we would then have a larger idea on what would make it good and how would we improve it.

Wednesday 28 January and Friday 30 January 2009
This is our first day of filming the 2 minutes beginning of our "thriller" film. We had chosen "Finsbury Park" as one of our mise en scene. The filming went very well and quick; we worked as a team and got everything that needed to be done within these two days.

Due to the poor weather condition, we had to re-locate our filming to my house to film the beginning of the "thriller". It went really well than we thought it would be. We worked well as a team and didn't have any group argument.

For today's filming we went to the graveyard; this is one of our mise en scene. However due to the poor, wet and slippery weather condition, we didn’t get any good shot for our "thriller". Due to this problem, my fellow group mate and I was a bit disappointed, we headed back to college and done some "log and capturing".

After all of our filming, my group sat down and discuss what we liked about it and what we don't like about the filming. In conclusion, we thought that it would be better if we should only have two “mise en scene”. Therefore; we had to re-plan our "thriller" and decided to keep the filming that we done at my house and film once more at the college as our new mise en scene to fit in with the new story line.
After all of the filming, we had to "log and capture" the clips and edited it using "Mac" computer. In this process, we found it very hard and difficult to do as we have never use the "Mac" computer to this extent, so it was a whole new experience for all of us.

Today was a very stressful day for our group as we were behind from every one in the class. We had to arrange our clips into orders, add sound effect to it, title/credit to the film and add effect to it. We were worrying about not finishing it in time for the deadline at 3pm. However, we have got it together and worked as a group all the way through and managed to finish before the deadline. We were very happy and proud of yourself for finishing it on time.
