<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">We all think that this shot works the best (at 1:09-1:13), as it is visually very pleasing. The shot is short and simple, but it tells us a lot - that the spy is picking up the symbol, we see what the symbol looks like, and that the assassin is standing behind the spy. It shows the danger of the assassin behind him, and the viewer realises that something bad is about to happen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">We also thought that this sequence of shots of the spy hurriedly looking through paper (from 0:56-0:59) is very good. We used jump cuts to add a sense of pace (to contrast with the long, unbroken take that preceded these shots) and to create a feeling of chaos because the character is desperately worried (There are 4 cuts</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> in 4 seconds). This sequence is very exciting and creates a feeling of panic and desperation which comes across well in the scene.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">We think that the only shot that didn't fully work is the opening shot which could be confused with a point-of-view (POV) shot. It wasn't meant to be, because the camera was at waist-level the whole time and the aim was to achieve the feeling of an 'omniscient camera'. An example of this in a film is the 3 minute shot in Goodfellas where the camera is an omniscient spectator of the action and follows the characters around.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This shot was filmed on a steady cam which we would have used for our opening if we had access to one. However, we had to settle for a handheld camera which was a little too shaky, and so could be mistaken for a character's perspective. Our opening shot starts unmotivated, while this shot from Goodfellas starts motivated (following two characters down steps, through a kitchen and into a restaurant). The movement in our shot then becomes motivated, as the spy character enters frame and we then follow his actions. The Goodfellas shot becomes unmotivated from 2:57 as the camera spins around to show another character independent of any on-screen movement.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.48px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">The main thing that the main task has taught me that the preliminary task didn't was the importance of research. Our preliminary task was very simple - there was no real story behind it, it was simply two people having a conversation. However, for our main task we needed to include a lot more; our piece had to fit with a certain genre, have a certain atmosphere, and make sense as part of a larger story (even if that larger story is not shown). As a group, we had to research into genre conventions of action/thriller movies to ensure that our film made sense and would be recognisable within that genre. Research also inspired us somewhat with our final piece, for example with the long shot which was inspired by the slow openings seen in movies such as Casino Royale and Sherlock Holmes. Research was also useful in providing inspiration for our symbol, which was really helpful not only in giving us ideas for it but also in granting it a greater meaning.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.48px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Another thing I learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the main one was the importance of working with the right people. In our preliminary task, me and Samuel worked with a person who didn't show up to shoot, and Crystal worked with people that she didn't really know and wasn't comfortable around. We therefore made sure that we were working together for the main task as we get along quite well and know that we are all focused and hard-working.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.48px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">We also learnt was the benefit of bringing in outside actors. In our preliminary task, none of us had brought in anyone to act in our films as there had not been the need. However, in our main task we brought in an actor, Oliver, to be in our opening alongside Crystal. This was useful as it freed two of us to work behind scenes, plus having someone who knew how to act was useful as it made our film much more believable. Oliver was also really helpful in giving us feedback on how it looked and ideas of how we could stage it.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.48px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">All in all, we learnt quite a lot in the creation of our film. Our preliminary task was helpful in teaching us the basics of filming, but making our main task taught us so much more in terms of all the work that goes in to making a film.</span></span></div>

Sam had used this product before so was familiar with it, and it proved very useful in the process of writing and planning our film. We could have written the film in Microsoft Word, or even by hand, but using celtx made it much quicker and easier to format our idea into a screenplay style.</span></span></span></div>

DSLRs (Digital Single Lens Reflex) generally have a more cinematic quality to them than camcorders because of their larger sensors (APSC in the case of the Canon 600D), plus they have the ability to use interchangeable lenses. Because we knew the film would be set at night and would therefore be very dark, we chose to use lenses which opened up to f/1.4 and f/1.7 to let in as much light as possible. However this also meant that the depth of field was very shallow meaning that focus was an issue. Fortunately Sam had some experience in focussing manually while shooting wide open, so it was less of an issue than it could have been.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.6px;">We used two lenses in our film, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and the Yashica 50mm f/1.7. They are both quite sharp and opened up very wide to let lots of light in. However, neither of the lenses has IS (Image stabilisation) and so we had to use a camera rig to stabilise the footage.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.6px;">The one major drawback of using DSLRs for filming is the poor quality of the on-camera microphone. If we had dialogue in the film, we would have had to use a boom pole with an additional audio recorder, which we did not have enough crew members to use. However, as we didn't need dialogue, we attached a Rode Videomic to the top of the camera to pick up ambient noises, and decided to record most of the sounds through foley and add them in post.</span></div>

We also used a small table lamp to illuminate the hallway. By pointing it to the floor, and bouncing it off some CTB (colour temperature blue) it gave the light a very diffused quality which contrasted well with the key light at the table. We also turned on a bathroom light in the corridor to stop it from being too dark (as can be seen on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWmPjXLuYZ8" target="_blank">behind the scenes video</a>).</span></div>

We edited the film on Final Cut Pro X on an iMac. Before this film, none of us in the group were experienced in using macs, but we very quickly became used to the operating system (although there was some difficulty coming to grips with the macs at first as inverted scrolling can be very annoying). Nonetheless it was quite easy to learn and the computer was very quick which meant that render times were low so we could experiment with various edits easily. We exported the film in ProRes which was a high quality option so we could preserve image quality.</div>

We had to record foley for the opening, and so we used the Zoom H1 because it is a very compact and easy to use audio recorder with a built in microphone. It was easy to bring to school when necessary and can record very high quality audio.</div>

Generally speaking, action/thriller films are targeted at young men aged about 12 - 30. Since our film is a 12, it is less likely that people younger than that will watch our film. However, we decided to do our own research to see how true this would be. Below are our findings from the surveys, with the surveys themselves below them.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These findings confirm the belief that males prefer action/thrillers more than females do, which is shown by the fact that 9 males listed action or thriller as their favourite genre compared to 5 females. However, the result for age was different than expected, as the age for both genders is very spread out. One interesting feature is that thrillers are enjoyed much more than action (6 more total), which suggests that the combination of the two genres is likely to attract a larger audience than action films alone. Indeed, thrillers seem to be the most popular genre for both genders. This suggests that our film would have a large and varied audience of all ages, although there would be more males than females.</span><br />

We ensured it would match the genre by both looking at genre conventions and by asking people what our poster sketches suggested about our film. This was, in fact, how we decided to scrap our original idea - when asking around, people thought it sounded more like the poster for a horror movie, which is not what our film is. We therefore came up with another sketch, and showed it to the people who took our survey. We recorded the responses, and found that the majority of people recognised it as being an action/thriller, although a few still thought it might be a horror. We then asked if they would want to see this movie, and most who enjoyed action/thrillers said that they would. This shows that it would be a good way to attract an audience.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.48px;">Another way that we could potentially attract an audience could be by producing a trailer showing some of the good (but obviously not best) moments of our film. We would need to intrigue them in a way that would make them want to come to our film, but without giving the whole plot away as some trailers do. This would be a good way to captivate an audience and draw them to our film.</span></span></div>

In terms of race and age this is not very representative of the whole population as it pretty much only represents Caucasians in their early/mid-twenties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">When deciding the character of the spy, we wanted to stick to genre conventions which generally involve a 30-something year old Caucasian man. This character is used because it represents the sort of person the film is targeted towards, as action/thrillers are generally targeted towards young men. This can be seen in a multitude of spy films, including very famous ones such as James Bond films, Mission: Impossible, and the Bourne series. We tried to make our character as close to this as we could, although we had a fairly limited selection of people to choose from. As a </span><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">result we cast Oliver as a spy, even though he was slightly younger than the 'typical' spy.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">For the assassin, we decided to cast Crystal. Our main debate about the assassin was about gender, as the gender of assassins in movies is quite varied. In the past, killers have almost always been male - however, in recent times there has been a huge influx in the number of female assassins, although there is still variation in gender. In films like the Bourne series, for example, assassins are male, whilst in others, such as Kill Bill, assassins are female. In the end we decided to go female, partly because we knew Crystal would be fantastic as the assassin and partly because female assassins often seem to have more of an edge of mystery and danger than male ones, mainly due to the fact that it is unconventional, which would make an action/thriller more exciting.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">In terms of age and ethnicity, our film is not very representative. Both of the actors are young adults, and both are Caucasian. However, there are reasons for these choices. In terms of age, we decided that using fairly young actors made sense, as the jobs of both spies and assassins are quite active and dangerous, so require young people. Also, the level of risk means that older people are less likely to survive and their experience would make them more likely to have jobs in organisation or leadership. Therefore it made sense to use young adults.</span></span><br />

The genre conventions of action/thrillers is to have Caucasian actors as the main parts. Some examples of this would be James Bond and Jason Bourne in terms of spies and Mad Max, Die Hard and Taken in terms of action/thrillers generally. In all of these, the main protagonist(s) are white. As well as this, in the context of the film it makes sense to have Caucasian actors as the film is set in England where the majority of the population are white. Therefore it makes sense to use Caucasian actors in our opening.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to create a poster for our film. Posters are important because they help potential customers understand what the film is and what it could be about. The poster has to represent our film, so I decided to look into posters for other action/thrillers. Below are some examples of posters from various action/thriller movies.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <i><u>Poster conventions</u></i></span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can see from these posters that there are lots of conventions for action/thriller movie posters. Here are the things I noticed:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dark electric blue colours</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dark colours</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Occasional dashes of red/orange</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lots of shadows</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Includes pictures of main character(s)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Title in red or white</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Action shots</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Often creates an idea of excitement and mystery</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Generally fairly simple (e.g. just a picture of one man)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i> <u>Ideas for posters</u></i></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to come up with a few ideas of what our poster could look like. The first one is a picture of one of the main characters with the symbol of Arc Death projected over the top of them. This could work because it would be dark and shadowy, and would create a sense of mystery. However, it may look quite horror-esque, which is not the feel that we are going for. The other idea is of a hooded figure with squares instead of a face, creating the idea of a hidden or concealed person. The squares are all some shade of black and white except for one, which is red with the symbol of Arc Diath inside of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to go with the second idea, as it creates the idea of a 'veiled facade', a hidden and unrecognisable person. Below is a sketch of what our poster could look like:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>The Title</u></span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to look into different film titles to find ideas for what we could call our film. The name of our film is really important, as it needs to sum up the film, give a clue as to what sort of film it will be, and encourage people to watch it. Most action thriller movie titles fall into certain categories. Below are the categories, and examples of movies in those groups.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i> <u>Ideas for our title</u></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to brainstorm ideas for titles for our film, focussing on the areas highlighted above. Since our story beyond the opening is very vague and unknown, we decided not to use a name for our title but instead focus on words. We thought of words that might relate to words in our film, used a thesaurus to find more complex synonyms for them, and even tried translating a few into different languages. Below is our brainstorm:</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to base our title around the word 'hidden' coming up with words such as 'veiled', 'private', and 'cover'. Crystal then took the best words and started trying out different variations of them to see what titles we could come up with. Below is the refined list of titles we have come up with:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> <i><u><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The title</span></u></i></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After a discussion in our group and a small vote, we decided that the best, most intriguing and most suitable title for our film is 'Veiled Fa</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">çade', as it has an air of mystery to it and creates a sense of suspense. It also sounds like a title for a professional action thriller film.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Sound Effects</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As well as having music in our film, we also needed sound effects. These are important as they make the film feel more real. We watched our film through and wrote down every sound that we expected to hear, e.g. footsteps, thuds, fabric noises. We then went through and thought about how we could get each sound, deciding whether we would get it online (providing it was royalty-free) or make it ourselves using foley. In the end we decided to make most of our sounds using foley, as getting them online would be hard due to copyright, plus we could tailor sounds we made ourselves to the exact way we wanted them. Below is a list of the sound effects we needed & how we could get them, and a short behind the scenes video of us recording foley.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have made a rough edit of our film. It still needs some work, but it is a good idea of what it might look like. We still need to add sound effects, change the music slightly and come up with a look for the title. For now, however, here is our edit:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>A Conversation About Continuity Editing</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When making a film, continuity is very important to ensure a film makes sense and can be enjoyed without the viewer being distracted by issues with continuity. We made an audio recording of a conversation we had about continuity editing within our opening, discussing techniques such as match on action, shot/reverse-shot and the 180 degree rule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Sound</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have decided to add most of our sound in post, as there is very little, if any, actual sound in our scene. Also, carrying around an audio recorder will be difficult and unnecessary, plus it would just be another thing to think about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Preliminary Edit</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the shoot, Sam went home and did a quick preliminary edit of the first half of the opening (up to the fight scene) to check that we had all of the shots we needed for our piece. This was really useful (and immensely exciting) as it meant that we got to see a VERY rough draft of how our opening might look when finished. Below is a video of the preliminary edit, plus a conversation where we discuss the edit, our plans for the final edit and some reactions we have had to our prelim.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>The Shoot</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We shot our film on the 22nd of December, from about 3 until 7. It was a very interesting, fun, and informative evening, and by the end we had all the shots needed for our opening. Our shoot went fairly smoothly, although we did face a few problems as we went along.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Setting up</u></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Crystal, Sam and I arrived at 3 o'clock, an hour before our actor was due to arrive and we were scheduled to start shooting. During this time, Sam set up the camera and lighting, Crystal got changed and prepared for her role, I created the symbol and all of us created the mess necessary for our opening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Shooting</u></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our actor, Oliver, arrived at 4, and we started shooting at around 4.30, half an hour behind schedule. We started shooting late because we took more time setting up than we expected, due to the fact that we had to unpack and prepare various things, then brief our actor on what to do. After a few practice runs and planning of the first shot, we were ready to start. We shot our first take of the first shot at about 5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Around 40 minutes later, we had finished filming the continuous shot. We had a quick break to gain some energy and relax a bit. We then carried on filming, moving on to the fight scene between Crystal and Oliver. We carried on until about 7, when we finished filming our final shot of the day. We tidied up the flat and packed all the equipment away, and about 30 minutes later, we were out of the flat and gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>The continuous shot</u></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to film the first shot, the long continuous shot, first, partly because it made sense chronologically, and partly because it was getting colder and darker as we filmed. We had scheduled 2 hours to film this shot, as we thought coordinating it would be really difficult, and it seemed like a hard shot to execute well. However, the first shot actually only took us about an hour total. This is because coordinating it was actually relatively simple, and with good communication we successfully planned out the timings and orders. When filming this part, Crystal and Sam would stand inside the flat, and I stood outside with Oliver. Me and Crystal would call each other and count down from 3, after which I would signal Oliver to start walking whilst she told Sam to start filming. As a result of this good communication and teamwork, the shot only actually took 4 takes before we got a perfect take, which was really surprising. We moved on from the shot much faster than we had anticipated, meaning that we were well ahead of schedule.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><i><u>The fighting scene</u></i></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The fighting scene balanced out our timing success in the first shot, as it took much longer than we expected. Our plans for this scene were much less specific than the ones for the continuous shot, plus we still had to choreograph the attack. This was one of the reasons why the scene took so long to film. As well as that, we also took much more takes, as we wanted to get the action from several different angles. This means that we filmed the fight and death many times, improving the choreography and building on the action as we went along. Eventually, however, we were finished, and started packing to go. We left at about 7.30, half an hour before we were officially due to finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Problems</u></i></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We faced a few problems when filming. The main problem we faced was that the fake knives kept on breaking, as they were quite cheap and not especially well made. However, we fixed them up with some tape and used them as much as we could. We also had a minor problem with the first scene in that the door to access the flat would lock automatically when closed. To get over this problem, I stood by the door out of sight, keeping it slightly open so that Oliver could get through and up the stairs. We also had the issue that the lights and mirror in the bathroom could potentially reveal Sam with the camera. To overcome this, we planned out the shot carefully, ensuring that he could not be seen in the light.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Changes</u></i></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We made a few changes when filming compared to our plan, and most of these were to do with props. Firstly, I decided that a poker would be inconvenient for travelling and difficult for Oliver to pick up quickly.Therefore I decided to bring a walking stick instead, as it was lighter and more convenient to carry, whilst still being quite threatening as a make-shift weapon. We also decided to ditch the top secret file, as there would be no use for the papers to be messy if they were all in a pile. Also, the assassin would have taken the top secret file with her if her aim was to gather information, which it was. Therefore, we left the file. We also decided not to use the fake blood, as it would make re-takes of the fight scene really difficult and be harder to work with continuity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Overall</u></i></span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Overall, I think that our shoot was quite successful. We got all of the shots that we needed, plus had extra time to film more shots, such as a B-roll of paper. We worked very well as a group, and Oliver was a fantastic actor for the scene. If we were to film again, I would have got permission to mess up the room more, pulling objects out of place and on to the floor rather than just scattering a few papers. I also wish that we had tried getting different reactions/facial expressions from Oliver so that we could play around with shot sequencing and meaning making in editing. However, I think that what we have is good, and that there will hopefully be no need to film any of it again.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As part of our film, we need a symbol to be left by the assassin that links to the organisation he is fighting. I decided to research into symbols in order to create one that we can use in our film.</span></div>

The symbol is a combination of Aries, a circle, and a diagonal thick line. The symbol represents ambition, determination, potential, beginning, strength, tension, and uncontrolled energy. These traits very much represent our evil organisation, and shows what they stand for and their aims. The name was a combination of all the names of the symbols, and we have decided that it will be the name of the evil organisation.</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Initial Ideas</u></i></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided to design some potential costumes for our film that our characters could wear. Of course, the costumes may change depending on availability and actors involved. For now, however, these are good ideas to base our final costumes around.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided that the spy should wear plain, normal, nondescript clothes in dull colours (brown, beige, blue, etc.). We decided that he should wear a plain shirt, jeans, and a dark overcoat. The assassin, on the other hand, would wear black, comfortable clothes that she could move in. We decided that she would wear black trousers, black shoes and a black hoodie or cloak.</span></div>

I found pictures on google relating to my idea of how the spy and assassin could look, then added them together with some keywords relating to their character.</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Costumes</u></i></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are the costumes we used in the actual filming. For the spy, we decided on a blue denim shirt, jeans and some plain black shoes. This works as it gives the idea that the spy is just any random stranger that you could pass on the street, making it seem like he is blending in. My one wish with this costume is that a different shirt had been used, as the one in the opening is still slightly different and unusual, whereas the spy should blend in completely. For the assassin, we decided on a black hoodie and trousers, with a flowing long black sheer shirt over the top and high heels. I think this is a really good costume, as it creates a sense of dark and dangerous mystery. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>Where We Will Get Them</u></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Samuel is going to get two fake knives for us to use in the film. They work by the blade retracting when it is pressed against an object. They look quite fake close-up, but they will pass for actual knives if seen from a distance in the dark for a quick flash of time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Crystal already has some fake blood in her house, so we will use that for our film. She has tested it out to see how it looks, and it passes for blood pretty well, especially in the dark.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Cast</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For our scene, we need a spy and an assassin. These are the only characters in our scene. We ideally want the spy to be a nondescript young adult male, and the assassin to be a young, athletic female. We have cast people that match up to these characters, and that suit the role well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <i><u>The Spy</u></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We looked into actors to play the spy. One actor we considered was my friend Reuel James, who acts in some of his own short films. We think that he would be good for the part because he can act well. He also has experience acting in short films, so he should know what to do and understand the process. Below is a picture of him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second person we considered for this role was Oliver Nicholls. He is more of a theatre actor and has been in several plays. He would be good because he has experience and will be used to working in a group situation. He also has the advantage of looking older and more mature, which is a plus for our film.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the end, we decided to cast Oliver, as he looks more the part of an ordinary unrecognisable spy that could easily be passed in the street without a second glance. He also looks older, which is an advantage because this suits the type of person we would like our spy to be more. Therefore, we chose him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i> <span style="font-size: large;"><u>The Assassin</u></span></i></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have decided to cast Crystal as the assassin. This is because she has a relatively slim build, and can move around well. She is a very good actress, especially when it comes to slightly scary characters. She can also run in heels, which is an advantage as it makes the assassin seem more professional and dangerous.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Locations</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We decided that our film should be set in an urban location, which fits in with our genre. We decided that the opening scene would be set in the spy's living quarters, which the assassin has broken into and searched. We decided that the spy would be living on his own, due to his dangerous profession, and would probably not be very rich. He would also want to live in an inconspicuous place that is easy to miss. We therefore decided that the spy would be living in a small flat in an ordinary neighbourhood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A friend of Crystal's was willing to let us use his flat, and it is the ideal place to film. It is relatively small and fairly homely, plus we have permission to cause a mess. The area around it is also very normal and unextraordinary, and there is an alley way that can be used during our film. Below are some pictures taken of the location.</span></div>

<i> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <u>In our film</u></span></i></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of our film is going to take place in the living room, as this is the largest space in the flat. We are going to film it in the wall opposite the window (shown in the left photo) as there is a door there that the Assassin can come out of. For the starting continuous shot, we are going to go from the window to the door to the living room, covering most of the room. Below is a plan of how that will look in our film.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Shot Sequencing</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The order that shots are placed in has a huge effect on meaning-making for that moment. Below is a storyboard for the first minute or so of our film. It shows 4 consecutive-ish frames from our continuous shot from the opening. I have explained the meaning of the frames, and how the order effects the meaning of them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">For our film, we created a storyboard. This allowed us to visually see what the film will look like. It also made us consider which shots to use, why we should/shouldn't use them, and what meaning making we can make with the shots. This storyboard gives us a plan to work with, although there will likely be some improvising on the day. Below are our storyboards with descriptions of what the scene will look like. Note that pages 1 - 3 all cover the same continuous shot.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Samuel wrote a screenplay for us to use in our scene. It is very good, and really helps to demonstrate the atmosphere in our scene, and the action that will take place. It is good because it provides a basis for us to visualise the scene, and to understand what will happen.</span></div>
