Camera Practise

Today we practised filming some more to form diffenet atmospheres through camera angles. In each shot we had to include the phrase 'What are you doing here' We did drama through me and EJ having a coversation and then chris walks past, interrupting us where we both say the phrase, We also attemped horror by the camera zooming in on my unexpecting face, making the camera shot a monster or unnatural being. Attacking me. To where i say the phrase what are you doing here. Which I thought worked quite well as the we used an unsteady hand which made it seem like something living was attack me.

Soundtrack Recording

After looking into the type of soundtrack we want to use. We've been looking into how we are going to record the music for our film, After looking ionto the type of soundtrack we want to use,We already went and looked at cubase a music recording software on the computers in the musc department. However we are not sure if its the best idea would be as firstly, its quite time consuming and its also not the best sounding instruments as its all MIDI based. (Meaning a low quality produced file which is electronically produced) When we want something which will sound good.  Howeve i have facilities at home which suffice this. So we will continue to experiment.

R & P: Actors

Will Squire (me) (in costume) - Henchman - Picked for this role purely for looks as I'm very well built  as henchmen tend to be the same for the 'tough guy look' to make it believable.

Elijah Jago (in costume) - Boss - Chosen for this role as he is quite smart and tidy. Also it made sense for him to be the mob boss as I was more suited to the role of Henchman,

Chris Robinson (with white t-shirt) - Victim - We wanted to make the victim scruffy or messy to make him seem like a less powerful character with nothing to loose and being as chris is quite a scruffy person with his long hair he seemed quite fitting for the role.
