As a group we all decided to take on the role of making the ouija board, the most important prop that is going to be needed for the opening of our film. As we felt it would be too risky to use a proper ouija board we decided to make our own with a piece of cardboard and painting it. We felt that this could either go really good or really bad, however we feel that on camera it looks realistic.
Before doing any official planning for a film, we started by doing a mindmap of our original ideas that we would like to follow up for our opening sequence. We all put our ideas forward and made sure that we agreed on the same things for what would make the most effective opening. We didn't spend too much time creating our mind map as we knew that as we went along that many of our original ideas might change.
Within our group we all got allocated different roles and different things that we would each be responsible for.
Whilst dong the research for our opening sequence, one of my responsiblities was to create a survey of which i would give out and then collect the feedback so that we could decide together what kind of film we were going to do and what kind of audience it was best suited for. Another role of mine is to play the final girl in the opening and also to make sure that i bring props such as candles and the ouija board. When planning the film i will be responsible for putting the storyboard together.
When doing the research for our film, Joshs' role was to research about production and distrubution companies and also to do extra research on target audiences to support my survey. Another role of Joshs' will be to play a part in the opening sequence. For the planning Josh will be responsible for writing up the script and also the call sheets. Josh will also be responsible for creating a moodboard to support the genre that we will be using.
Sams main role was to fully analyse the film, Final Destination, this was because he felt that this wuld match the opening sequence that we were aiming to create. Sam will also be responsible for getting the materials together for us to make the ouija board. As well as this, when filming the opening sequence Sam will be the camera man and the director. Therefore Sam will be responsible to make sure that all of teh clips are uploaded for us to start editing.
As a group we were all responsible when making sure that we analysed enough films and collected enough informatoin on other horror films and recognsed the micro and macro features. We will also all be responsible for making teh ouija board and editing the clips once it has all been filmed.
Before filming our 2 minute opening sequence we filmed our preliminary task of which had to include a match on action shot. We used this as our first expereicne of filming and editing.
I think that filming this helped us a lot with learning different angles and the different shots that could be used. When filmimg and editing our opening sequence we must make sure that we include a variety of shots and make sure that when editing the cuts it is a lot smoother.
