Editing
Problems we faced during editing:
- We filmed a shot of our actor running across the road and down the street whilst we panned the camera round to follow her. However this made our actor mainly stay in the centre of the screen and so this caused some issues for us when we came to edit into a jump cut scene. As when we took a chunk out, we hoped it would look like she ran a long way, but because of our camera movement it only appears that small distance has been covered. To solve this we had about 0.8 seconds of her running, then cut out about 6 seconds in between the next running shot so that it looked as effective without it being unrealistic.
- When we inputted our chosen soundtrack over our video we quickly realised that the placement of the beat drop didn't fit the video as well as possible. If the music starts at the very beginning of our opening scene then this would cause it to drop when it zooms in our the headphones and so it looked very out of place. We hoped that the beat drop would happen during the swish shot to Tunbridge Wells, however if this happened then there would be no music at the start. And so we compromised and had a couple of seconds silent at the start which resulted to beat dropping when our actor stood up out of her chair which worked well.
- Our next problem, was with the dialogue at the end. Without the footage we filmed, there is significant background noise which you can hear when our actors say their line. This white noise meant that we had to mute the whole clip and record a voice over on the top of it. It took a couple of tries for the audio to match up with video perfectly, but when it did this increased the quality massively as there is very minimal background noise which also meant we could increase the volume of the dialogue so that it was clear to hear, as well as fading in and out the music between each line.

BBFC Rating
- There is moderate language and occasionally there may be strong language used for comedy purposes.
- There's no emphasis on injuries or blood.
- There may be moderate violence but only for comedic purposes.
- There are no graphical images or frequent crude content on sex.
When asked about what age rating our film would be the majority of people said 12/12A, and one being PG. This shows that just from our opening scene people are able to get a feel for what the rest of the film will be like and whether it will be suitable to watch or not.
Legal Concerns
Parent Consent for Actors
Before filming we made sure to call all the actresses parents and confirmed with them that their child would be allowed to feature in our Opening Scene.
We had to do this for all the actors as all were under the age of 18 and so all needed parental consent.
Permission to use Locations
We got permission to use the house from the homeowners and we made sure to let the homeowners know exactly when we were to film, what we were doing and made sure that they knew everything so that on the day there was nothing unexpected.
We also looked into whether we were allowed to film in the car park and in the Tunbridge Wells area and online there was no mention of it not being allowed, to make sure we were safe we also tried to make sure that there were no background characters if we didn't have their permission to film them, or if they were in the background, that their faces were unrecognisable.

Iconography
As we have chosen a specific theme within the action genre, being gamer/sci-fi, we will also need a specific font to accommodate this. iMovie's default fonts are not suitable for our film as they appear too basic and boring, meaning we had to look elsewhere for our desired look.
A website called 'dafont' has a vast array of different types of lettering, and so below is a collage of possible iconography examples associated with our genre.
We choose the style called 'gameplay' and so downloaded it to the computer, from here we had to google how to 'add a font to macs' and so followed the steps to completion.
Now we were able to use a specific font within iMovie, we could then change the colour.
We choose a dark greenish colour to represent a hacker type feel which matches the mise en scene throughout our opening.

Filming in the Server Room
Shooting Day 4
To add a more substantial ending to our opening scene we decided to continue the plot, so that as the actors face isnt revealed, this then changes to a point of view shot showing her journey to a 'server room' in which her other gamer friends are there hanging out. Props used for this shoot were a collection of retro game consoles, headphones, textbooks, food wrappers. The mise en scene of this room worked well with the overall theme of hacker/gamer.
We experimented using 2 cameras, one on a tripod, and one being held by the actor herself. However none of these angles got the desired shot, and so we decdied that it was best for me to run behind the actor as she ran upstairs and through the door, and then she could smoothly transition to being on screen as I held onto the camera and zoomed into the computer sceen. This created a very smooth continous shot and resulted in a clean and concise ending.

Re-Filming in Tunbridge Wells
Shooting Day 3
After looking back at the footage from our day 2 shoot, we realised that some of the clips had some unavoidable problems that needed refilming such as, the fast swish clip, spun round the wrong way, and so in order to get the swish the right way, we had to change the side of the road our actor was running on, which also meant that we had to refilm the joe lee water scene along with the isy ellis traffic light shot. However as we had had practise filming these scenes beforehand, the reshoot went quickly because we knew what to do which increased productivity for the day.
We also had to refilm, the shot with before the lfit, as there was glare on the level one sign meaning you couldnt see Archanas name, however ater quikyl readjusitng the tripod to a better position away from the window this was problem was fixed.
Another thing we decided to film was more running shots, at different angles to add another viewpoint from the side, front and back. This made the whole running part more exciting to watch because of the varied clips.
Lastly we filmed the point of view shot inside the lift so that we could connect this with another point of view shot which lead to the final scene.

Filming in Tunbridge Wells
Shooting Day 2
This was a major part of our shoot, and so we became prepared with homemade props carefully packaged along with camera equipment which we carried between us. Here are some of the problems we faced when filming.
One main issue was the weather, as we were filming outside the majority of the time it became hard to actually move our hands and use the camera and so we had a lunch break which allowed us all to warm up so that we could carry on shooting throughout the rest of the day.
When shooting in the main area of the car park, obviously there were many cars driving around where we needed to film, so patience was needed here to be able to find a gap in the traffic and get the required shot on the skateboard, making sure to stay clear of pedestrians as well. We had one person at the end of the car park to warn us of cars so we could immediatley stop filming.
The last shot of the day was the final lift scene, in which we needed to pan up the actors body, yet to not reveal her face. This proved challenging as it was very hard to get the timing right of her running into the lift, and ending with the doors closing. However after numerous attempts we managed to get the perfect shot.

Sounds
Sound plays a major part of any film production, and so we hope to incooperate the following sounds in our opening scene.
Background Music:
My research into the action genre shows that high paced upbeat music is key, and so we hope to find something similiar to this by looking for copyright free music on YouTube and prehaps look into buying a certain piece of websites similair to audiojungle. We hope to use music with various beat drops so that we can edit our jump cuts accordingly to convey a sense of motion and mystery. As the background music will be the most prominent piece of sound, we will use few diegetic sounds over the top so that everything flows together nicely without something looking out of place.
Water Splash:
When an actor is pushed into an water falls from her cup and onto the ground, revelaing Joe Lee, adding a sound effect of the water splashing will help reinforce this moment of chaos and draw the audiences attention to the credit. We will plan and use the sound from the splash it self rather than using a 3rd part sound effect as it will be easier to pair the sound with the action instead of trying to match them up in post.
Phone Ping:
Near the start, we plan for it to be quiet whilst the camera moves around the table, and so when the phone pings this will start the action and get things moving. When this happens it draws attention to the phone as the camera switches angles so that the audience cant see whats on the phone creating suspense as they wonder why the character is rushing to leave the house. We will use a sound effect from the iMovie libary or download one off YouTube.

The House Scene
Shooting Day 1
Even though the beginning scene in the house is roughly 30 seconds, it took over 4 hours to film. This is because of various challenges that we encountered along the way.
One being that as the overhead shot of the table is a contionous one, it meant that it was very hard to get the focus right on the Canon 700D. When using the dslr we ran into a few issues, being that as it had a large form factor this meant it was heavy to navigate around different sides of the table quickly resulting in shaky footage. Also we found that my secondary canon s120 had better autofocus which helped greatly to increse the quality of the first shot. Other than that the rest of the shoot went smoothly as we used a tripod to ensure stable footage.Testing Credits
Here we tested lots of our ideas for the integrated credits and made sure we were ready for the filming days.
Scotch-guard
We first wanted to test it simply by drawing a line and when this turned out to be successful we tested two methods of text one with just writing and one with a stencil. We have found that the stencil was the best method and are going to use it in our final opening scene.
Headphones
We then tested the different ways we can put MD Smith onto the headphones. We used an old pair of headphones and tested the writing in black or white. But used lettered stickers to give a cleaner look
Milk
We then tested the different ways in which the letters would sit in the milk in order for us to film. We realised that while using just milk the letters would not remain still and so in order to almost place them on the milk we used gelatine to harden it and yet the milk still looks like it is ordinary.
Number Plate
To make the number plate sign I first took the measurements of a real life number plate and then cut out a piece of yellow card according to this size. I then googled for 'number plates' and copied ones with the required letters to spell out 'SJ BROWN'. I cropped these down to the same size, in order for all of them to fit on the piece of card evenly, and printed these. I cut all of the letters out as precisely as possible and coloured them in black so that they were all the same. Next I glued these on, and wrote PRODUCER along the side at the start. To finish I laminated it to give a professional look.
Level Sign
Similarly to the process above, I got the exact measurements from the real Level signs in the car park and printed out the words 'Level 1 Archana Barathan' using Ariel font, to the correct size. Then cut, coloured, glued and laminated them.
Laser Cut Light
To make the stencil, I measured the diameter of the lens and drew on where the letters would go within that circle. Using a Stanley knife and small scissors I cut the letters out and attached it to the lens using a rubber band. Then simply you zoom in to the object and adjust the aperture to its smallest value to create a custom bokeh shot.
Test Footage
School of Rock
Looking at the opening scene and integrated credits from the movie School of Rock. The thing that was particularly effective was the way that it moved really smoothly and the cuts were not obvious. However we may not be able to do that as to hold the camera that steady is very difficult.

Casting
Here is a video showing our casting process as we interviewed various people, and tested their acting skills:
From this we have decided to use Maddy as our actor because of her atheltic skills and aviability.
Evaluation Question 1
In what way does your media product us, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Evaluation Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Sarah-Jane:
I have learnt that for certain shots manual focus is better than autofocus, for example when filming the running shots because of the amount of movement it was easier to set the focus on the subject before moving and so when I was on the skateboard all I had to do was keep the same distance away from the subject in order to keep her in focus whilst running.
To get the light bokeh shot it helped with having 2 people, as 1 could zoom out and adjust the tripod head while the other drops the stencil and changes the focus. This in turn creates 1 swift movement which smoothly transitions from one shot to another with no cuts.
I have also learnt how to overlap 1 video on top of another which helped greatly when answering our evaluation questions to a high standard.
Even though I have learnt new things about technologies, I have also found out that some equipment hinders our creativity as when filming the beginning overhead shot, after numerous attempts using the dslr we found using my small pocket camera was a lot easier because of its portability and autofocus was far better. In addition to this because of our low budget we used our innovative in some areas, as for most of the running shots I was on a skateboard which worked well to get a steady shot, whereas in a real film a 3 axis gimbal or steadicam would be used. This gave authenticity to our opening scene.
Isy:
During the fillming of our opening scene i leanrt that different lenses and cameraa have different focusing speeds, such as our dslr camera took a long time to focus compared to our smaller hand held one. Another thing I learnt is the importance of a tripod as no matter how gard you try there will always be shake from hand held filming. While editing our film, I learnt the different controls on iMacs as well as how to use iMovie such as putting in voice overs and other clips on top of our video. I also discovered a new technique called bokeh. Due to our film being low budget we found interesting ways to create our credits without using expensive editing and filming equipment. For example the Scotchguardand number plate credit. Finally I leanrt how to use Blogger effectively and other animation tools such as Powtoons and Prezi. One thing I discovered especially on blogger was how to embed code and how to make labels at the top of my blog.
Emma:
From using the equipment I have learnt that getting the tripod to the correct level with it being level is particularly hard especially when you plan on moving it for example when we moved the camera swiftly for the match on action. I also learnt that the focusing of the camera is difficult as it will focus on particularly sections and then not focus on other parts for example the first scene where you would be able to focus on the milk but then not the letters and if it the camera would not focus on the rest of the table, to conquer this problem we used a range of methods using auto focus and manual focus, whilst also trying a range of cameras. Using iMovie was interesting as I learnt the new ways of using it, for example I learnt how to add videos on top of other videos and the different ways you can add post production edits onto what we have filmed.
I also learnt a lot about different types of ways that we could create integrated credits from doing DIY to doing a light Bokeh Shot. We had to test a large range of how we would do many of the credits and the best methods for them and so we could have the best quality and professionalism to our Opening Scene.
Archana:
During our process of creating our opening scene, I have learnt how to get the light bokeh shot by using the zoom lens and a cardboard stencil. It was difficult to film as it required 2 people where 1 zooms out while the other person removes the stencil and changes the focus, however after several attempts, the outcome was great. I also learnt basic editing skills on iMovie such as placing a video on top of a video or using voice overs. Even though our film was a low budget film, our integrated credits were the main attention such as the 'JOE LEE' credit where the letters appeared after the splash of water or the the number plate as it looked realistic due to the laminate. As a group we learnt that using a tripod is crucial so that our video is balanced (checking the spirit levels) and runs smoothly. However using a hand held camera can be useful for our purpose as it can accompany our action genre.

Location Scout: Tunbridge Wells
Tunbridge Wells: Meadow Road Car Park
The reason we have decided to location scout this particular car park structure is that we know that it is not be very busy whilst also being in an urban looking location.
The outside of the parking complex is very busy as it is surrounded by roads and shops.
Right next to the car park is a quiet side ally. There is little to no pedestrian flow through and along the road is a collection of bins and a couple of cars.
Entrance/ Exit
There are two sets of stairs, one at each end of the structure. One set is in the open air and comes out onto the street whereas the other one is more enclosed and comes out by the main pedestrian exist by the lift.
The top floor of the car park is completely deserted.
There is a lift on the end with the pedestrian entrance, it is slightly off to the side away from the actual doors.

The Vision
Colour Pallette
Our new colour pallette has various darker tones for the high paced running scene with a serious atmopshere, and so the blacks and greys will present an element of mystery to keep the viewers intreged. There a few lighter colours to show the warm environement of the house compared to the harse tones of the parking lot.
9 Frames
Sound Palette
We then recreated our sound palette to match the tone more of the current idea. However some of the sounds remained the same as they worked well with both ideas.
