REFLECTION - FILMING SESSION 3
Filming session 3
Today was our penultimate day of filming! we filmed our beginning scene where the two are arguing in the living room. We were hoping that this would be our final filming session so that we could start editing and putting our scenes together, we re filmed the scene of me hiding in the room because I had changed my hair and it would've looked weird if we didn't re film those scenes, however it worked out in a good way because it made the flashback look realistic as my hair was different.
We hope we can start editing very soon and we are very excited about it

REFLECTION - FILMING SESSION 2
Filming Session 2
The main aim of today was to shoot the park scene and the scene where tyrique is banging behind the door. There was a bit of miscommunication in our group so we were a bit confused about where we were meeting. However overall filming went extremely good, when shooting in the park we had a few difficulties with lighting as it was quite a sunny day and we were planning to use a top light, however we found that the top light wasn't needed and we used natural light instead, overall we were filming In the park for about an hour before we proceeded to go Inside tyriques house as it was about -2 degrees and it was too cold for us to film in.
We ended up filming in tyriques house for about 45 minutes as it was quite a quick shot that we ended up doing.
In the next filming session we aim to bring everything to a close and hopefully it will be our final filming session.

REFLECTION POST 1 -FILMING SESSION 1
First Filming Experience
Today was the first day group 3 explored the Filming world. The filming goal today was to get the room scene over and done with. As a group we went over to tyrique a house to film the scene behind the door where she is hiding from her boyfriend. We had a few technical issues with the lighting in the room and the angles as we were in a confined space, however we had to work around it and initially I took up around 40 minutes to master moving the camera around without the room being too dark or the lighting being off.
We filmed the majority of the beginning scenes, I find it particularly challenging with acting ad the kind of film we are doing is quite controversial and I have to show a lot of emotion in my face. we all took turns to take charge of filming but the main two camera men were harjeet and obed.
In our next filming session we would like to get more done in the time frame that we have.

Feedback from First Rough Cut
He also told us that the title credits were not clear enough, and to make things a bit easier we should use motion instead of doing them on Final Cut Pro (our initial idea). Some of e titles covered some actors faces so we were told to adjust the frame on Final Cut Pro.
- To improve my work i will redo the title credits and make sure that they are organised and are placed on the frame so that no crucial bits are missing.
- film more close ups to emphasise emotion
- remove any irrelevant shots that may have been seen.
BLOGGING HEALTH CHECK 3

Hi Seun
Just in case you haven't seen it on promonitor, here is your feedback from blogging health check 3 which was done over half term.
You have added some work on planning and reflected on the influence of real media texts. However, you still need some more work on audiences and institutions. You could use YouGov profiler to look at the audience for teen films (and Murdered by my Boyfriend) and compare them to your target audience. You have included a post on the institution that has produced your film but you need to elaborate on this. Are Road Records an independent or mainstream production company? How will this affect your title sequence?
You also must post more documentation of the filming and editing process with reflections and photographs. What did you film on each day? Did it go well or was there anything you needed to reshoot?

Blogging Health Check 2
Hi Seun
Here is your feedback for blogging health check 2. You should write a blog post reflecting on this and how you are going to improve.
“I’ve seen you putting a lot of effort into solidifying your film idea but you need to make sure that you are explicit about these developments on your blog to get the marks. Write a blog post on your new idea and how this developed through group discussion and feedback from the pitch.
When you film you need to make sure that you continue to do this. Post targets for a filming session for what you want to achieve, plan your route to the location or check the weather report. Then after filming reflect on whether you achieved this and if you changed anything.
You could also look at the teen films that are most similar to your idea to back up your decision. You could then use YouGov profiler to look at the audience for these films and compare them to your target audience, as you don’t have any audience work in your research. You also need some more work on institutions. Write a post on whether your film is being made by a mainstream or independent production company and how this will affect the title sequence.”
Phoebe has clearly shown me where I need to improve In order to make my blog look good, I will start working on his ASAP

BLOGGING HEALTH CHECK 1
Blogging health check 1
Here is your feedback for your first blogging health check. It will be on promonitor along with your mark shortly. You will need to post a reflection on this feedback for blog post 21.
Your work is good but there needs to be more of it! You have researched into Cabin in the Woods and Man of Steel in good detail but you need to look at other similar products. Think about the types of title sequence, institutions (mainstream or independent), target audiences and the macro and micro features of the subgenres of teen films.
You need to include work on the planning of your remake and evaluate this process. You will need to document the planning of your title sequence in detail.
You also need to consider how you are presenting your work and how you can use ICT to help you do this.
Phoebe has giving me extremely convenient advice and allowed me to see where I need to change certain habits and how to improve my blogging skills, I will try my best to adapt to all the criticisms and carry on with the good work.

Final Story Line
A few changes have were made in the end of our story line. It Will first start off as the male character in the living room looking through his female partners Facebook messages, we then see the female in the kitchen cooking. It then shows the male confronting the female about the messages seen on her Facebook, she tells her partner that she does not know who the messages are from and she doesn't reply, we then see the male character getting angry and throwing a tantrum,. grabbing her arm as she tries to walk away. She runs off in a panic and hides in her bedroom behind the door when we proceed to a flashback of the times that they first met. They look happy with each other and these were times when the relationship was good and healthy. We then return back to the present and see her crying and hesitating to call the police. at this point the male character is banging on the door and gaining anger, we see her dial 999 and that's where the scene fades into the main title of the film.

The similarities with High school&Youth drama film are:
The differences with High school&Youth drama film are:
- Both of them end with the title of who the film was written and/or directed by.
- Also both the title sequences start with a blank screen with some text on it then move to moving images.
The differences with High school&Youth drama film are:
- In a High school drama the title sequence is in most cases longer than others, this is usually because High school drama's in most cases it has more casts and more people producing it.
- Linking back to the bullet point above High school dramas are mainly mainstream production and Youth drama's are usually independent films. Ive noticed High school dramas have a more entertaining side whereas youth dramas are more serious and most likely to be based on real live events.
