Update on casting..

In a previous post, i posted..

On Monday 15th November, we discussed and thought about the cast of our film, deciding who will be playing which characters. We also thought about the personalities of the characters so in the end, we decided that we'd cast people who related to their characters personalities.

Scarlett Colson - Ellie (Bubbly, Confident and Heartless)
Connor Hobbs - Ben (Short-tempered, Mysterious and Twisted)
Jamie Reed - Matt (Funny, Friendly and Smart)
Hayley Bell - Friend #1 (Happy, Sociable and Bubbly)
Natasha Weldon - Friend #2 (Loud, Sociable and Bubbly)
Ellie Markie - Friend #3 (Trustworthy, Honest and Caring)

From 28th March, we have changed Matts name to Jamie as it would work out better and we have changed some of the characters.

Scarlett Colson - Ellie
Jamie Reed - Jamie
Hayley Bell - Friend #1
Natasha Weldon - Friend #2
Ellie Markie - Friend #3

Yesterday, Me and Scarlett went to her house to start filming our new shots.
Also, we are changing Matt's name to Jamie as some of the shots we took does not make sense with the mise-en-scene. 

Our new idea -

We are going to start with the same kind of idea but with a different element to it..
Scarlett and Jamie are a happy couple.
Scarlett breaks up with Jamie in the park
and then we will go with the original idea.

We believe this will make our horror film opening much more effective.

Today we were having a look through our filming and we had a conversation with our teacher, and we came to the decision that we will refilm our horror film opening to make the detail of the shots better, and we will have a better and more scary opening.

Now that we have finished the production of our task, we have now moved into the post-production side of the task. Altogether, now we have roughly 11 minutes of material to work with. To make our post-production side of the task good, we have to learn the basics of how to edit using Final Cut Express and how to add titles and sound effects.
