Final Product
This is the final product for our thriller opening called The One, through the process of this I was able to gain skills in the techniques involved to film and edit a production. Also it was a fun experience to do something I had never done before while working with someone I hadn't have worked with before. There were improvements that could have been done but I think that will then be carried on for the future so I am aware of the mistakes we made this time so then they aren't repeated.
Sound and lighting test shots
As we changed our locations a lot during the lead up to the final product, many of what is listed are from the old locations. One of them being the lighting and sound test shots that weren't done for all the locations but were done for the car park. This links in from the location reece, the test shots are taken at a different time of day compared to when the shots were done at the car park which was in the evening. Therefore by completing them in the day, it shows clearly the layout of the car park although it isn't shown a lot due to the minimal amount of lighting later in the evening.

|
Will the levels of noise cause a problem?
If so, how will you overcome this?
|
The level of noise will only be a problem if there are lots of people
out in the street next to the car park. This shouldn’t be too much of a
problem as the shops shut in the evening so there won’t be many people about.
As for the cinema scene, it shouldn’t be a problem as the sound will be taken
out to be replaced with music.
|
>If there is too much noise then we can either edit the sound
after which will be done regardless as we are adding on music or choose
another day to film.

|
>We can use the light from our phones if the lighting isn’t
suitable or edit later on.
>We all have cameras on our phones we can film with if the camera
we are planning to use isn’t accessible

there public transport easily available to you?
|
>Yes we can easily get a bus or train to the location
>We are using a car so we get there in that
|
>If strikes occur or roads are cut off we can rearrange the day
>If the car breaks down we can use public transport
|
One of the main locations we used taken as inspiration from P2 was the car park and we have changed the location of the car parks throughout the pre-production task. However finally when shooting the final product, we decided to change and chose an outdoor car park. Especially as it was filmed in the evening and was just enclosed on the car and the girl inside, we didn't have to focus on the surroundings too much. Although I did take pictures of the location at a different time of day to show the contrast between how the tone of the opening and how that is purposely created so effortlessly through the time it was filmed.
