This is the atmospheric music we have chosen to go with our film opening. We think it fits the genre because it is very tense music.

AO- Second Shoot
Yesturday we carried out our second shoot, for the hostage scene. This was done at school, so it was easy to access and we didn't need to travel far to get there. We had two hours to this sequence, and we shot all the shots with both cast memebers in, we could not shoot all of the shots as we didn't have the polaroid pictures we need.
Overall, i believe the shoot was a success as we got all the shots we wanted, and we think that these shots are suitable for our opening sequence. I think that we got enough takes, as we tried to film as many as we could in the two hours available to us, so from these takes i think that our sequence can be made. We will start editing the scene within the next two days, so we can get a feel for the shots, and see how they fit into the sequence.

AO - Next Shoot
We have decided to do our next shoot, of the hostage scene on Thursday the 11th March. We are going to plan this a lot more than our previous scene, as when we came to edit it, we thought it was inadequate to our expectations. This is to ensure that we shoot the whole scene in the time, and that everyone knows exactly what we are doing.
We have taken the decision to remove the flashback sequence from our opening because of the length and the effect it has on the film.

JM - First day of shooting
So yesterday (Saturday) was our first day of shooting our AS level coursework. The location of the shoot was a friends house in Sevenoaks, so there wasn't really much travelling or risk involved in the shoot.
Overall, I think that yesterday was a very productive day and we got all the shots we needed, so that this week we can begin to get the editing phase underway, choose which of the takes to use and which will end up being ditched. We encountered no problems during our shoot and everything ran smoothly, which was good.
With one more shoot planned for this coming Thursday (11th March) we aim to get the final shots for our film finished,

JM - Fun with Fake Blood...
So there's gonna be a bit of blood in our opening sequence, so I set about finding a good recipe. A bit of a search on the internet and I found one, but it didn't come out too well. So some experimental procedures later and staining my hand several times with food colouring (be careful, this takes ages to come out) I have found a recipe I think is good.
First you will need:
1. Water - One small cup
2. Flour - 2 teaspoons
3. Red Food Colouring
4. Golden Syrup
Ok, so first things first mix the flour and water in a bowl and whisk until all lumps have disappeared. You should be left with a slightly cloudy mixture. Next, put the mixture in a sausepan and bring to the boil. The simmer this mixture for about 10-20 minutes, until you have a good, slightly thick consistency to the mixture. Place back in a bowl and add some Red Food Colouring before whisking the mixture further. Finally, add 3-5 teaspoons of Golden Syrup to mixture and continue to whisk. Leave to cool before application (From personal idiotic experience). Your final mixture should look a lot like this, (lighting shows mix as very bright, it is darker in real life)
This mixture is good for showing trickles of blood, such as nose bleeds, and also for staining clothes. If anyone tries this, feedback is fine, and any questions just ask.
