Meeting and costumes

Our group met up before we started filming and eceided on costumes for our scenes. Becasue Edwin is the killer, we decided to put him in a grey jacket, and the coller hid some of his face, to make him look more mysterious. Karishma had a blue and white top on, that signifed the sky and heaven, as later on in this scene she was going to die. Tobi, who was also going to die, wore a grey jacket to symbolise a gravestone. And I had a more colourful top on to show that I still had life. And then Ian had a plain jacket on, as this is neutral and nothing was going to happen to him. We filmed at aroun four in the afternoon, as the sun was setting around this time. And we also got some footage when it was a bit darker, when the two characters got killed.

Media Lessons

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on our filming. We have finished the story board and began filming some of our scenes. My group has filmed a few scenes and in lesson we are now working on editing the footage we have already got. One of the scences is the "fairground" scene and at the moment we are editing this and cutting out what we dont want and linking it altogether. We are following our storyboard and our plan, then when we have all of the scenes we are going to edit them altogether and put them in the order we want them in.
